| - I may not be anal about many things in life however, my teeth are the exception. I've worn braces twice and had to have 8 teeth removed in the process (Four of which are my wisdom teeth. Does anyone know why they're called wisdom teeth?). After all of that you better believe that I go to the dentist every six months religiously. Well, that was until I moved to Charlotte. Moving to a new place is always fun and exciting in the beginning but the novelty wears off when you begin to think about practical things like, "How do I find a good doctor, Where do I take my car for service, What's a good salon (I'm 0-2) "Where do all the cute, SINGLE, guys with jobs hang out (Hey, how'd that get on the list?), and of course How can I find a good dentist that knows what they're doing and won't cause me to have to take a bottle of Advil when I get home?"
So, one day I'm checking my email and I get one from AmazonLocal Deals, which is really just LivingSocial, and I see a deal for Healthy Smiles Family Dentistry in Concord. $55 for a cleaning and x-rays!!!! I said to myself, "It has been 9 months, 12 days, and 14 hours since you have been to the dentist. Buy the deal!" I bought it. Now, I was a bit skeptical about going to a dental office that I found on LivingSocial and so no joke, I prayed that it would be a smooth visit and indeed it was!
Dr. Stainback, her husband Horace, who's the hygentist, and the receptionist are great! They were all really nice. Surprisingly, I had a great time at a dental office. Never thought I'd ever say that. Horace even took pictures of my teeth with a little camera on a wand that fit in my mouth. I had never seen anything like it. He then showed me the pictures and went over them with me in detail so I would be able to understand the dental lingo when Dr. Stainback came in.
The best part is that Dr. Stainback's service prices are really reasonable. I don't have dental insurance but was thinking about adding it to my medical plan and decided not to after I was given Dr. Stainback's prices. It's cheaper for me to pay out of pocket than to purchase dental insurance. I've found my dentist and couldn't be happier! Now I just have to find a good salon and a male companion (Dang, another slip of the tongue!)
