i'll confess, i haven't had dental insurance in a long time, so my first visit back after my hiatus was to Ocotillo Dental Care. the atmosphere is very nice. romantic lighting in the waiting room gives a relaxed vibe. the desk staff is friendly and knew who i was before i had to introduce myself. the hygenist was gentle, thorough, and kept me informed of everything she was doing and everything she was seeing. the dentist was great. his policy is to not touch things that hurt, i.e., cavities that he is going to have to drill into. in my experience, this is very unlike other dentists who will take that sharp pokey thing and jab it into a sensitive part and then ask if that hurts. he explained everything to me in a way i understood, and made me very comfortable and not so terrified like i usually am at the dentist. i'm almost looking forward to my next appointment to get fillings...almost.
