The offices are tidy, the staff friendly, and the blood pressure test result was surprising (it was stratospherically high). At the dentist's suggestion I didn't have the extraction done because my morbidly high blood pressure increased the danger of serious complication (stroke), but the five-minute visit cost me a day's pay nonetheless.
I later discovered the long-known correlation between dental infection and cardiovascular disease. I would strongly advise anyone needing an extraction to run like hell from any dentist (who was not this one, in my case) who proposes to drill and fill a possibly abscessed tooth. The invisibly spreading painless infection can easily cause severe and permanent cardiovascular harm. A trivial problem may thus transform into a major life-threatening illness.
