I am totally afraid of dentist. Matter of fact I haven't visited a dentist's office since I was a child with the exception of emergency tooth extractions. When I met Dr. Howard he was kind, soft spoken and told me he would take care of me. This was the BEST dential experience I have every had! My tooth was broken in three places; one piece dangled from my gumline; the other came out, but not the third piece. When Dr. Howard began the procedures, my heart started racing, and my hands felt like I had dumped them under a running faucet. Dr. Howard removed the two pieces. All I felt was a little pressure; out they went. I thought he was finished he said no I still have to go back in. My heart started to race again and my hands began to sweat. Dr. Howard went back in to extract the root of the tooth before I know it he was finished and sutturing my gum. I want to thank Dr. Howard for being so patient, professional, kind and gentle. HE KNOWS HIS STUFF and does it WELL! His staff was wonderful just as kind and considerate as he; what a great team. Thank you, thank you, thank you! If you have a phobia about a dential procedure see Dr. Howard.
