I wish our family had never chosen this dentist. Upon first meeting her she briefly said her name then asked him to open his mouth very sternly and when he didn’t she didn’t try to loosen him up or make him laugh but instead held down his head and shoved a plastic wedge in his mouth. He then became very frightened and started thrashing so she just held him down further. I must say he had just opened his mouth perfectly for the very nice dental assistant. I was in shock!
She then finished the exam like everything was perfectly normal and sent him to x-ray where he was completely worked up. After working with the nice xray lady we found out he had a large cavity they hadn’t caught before that would need a cap. This meant he would need to be put under (asleep). Since the procedure was really needed I didn’t change dentists as I figured he would be asleep and wouldn’t even see her but boy was I wrong. Not only did we wait in the dental office for 4 hours to have the procedure but she opened his mouth too wide and never lubricated it so it was swollen, torn and bleeding. Then 4 months later the cap failed and our new dentist said his gums had filler under his gums from last procedure which was irritating them.
