I managed to get an appointment at the last minute when I woke up one day with a serious toothache. So that was convenient.
Dr. Leavitt is a straight-shooter. None of this "hey brush your teeth more, mmkay?" but more like "if you don't do a better job, your teeth will fall out" accompanied by a stern look. So maybe its good to have a dentist that's won't sugar coat the truth. But still, a little friendly-ness when you are in a great deal of pain would be appreciated.
Also really glad I didn't take up his offer to have my wisdom teeth just pulled out. Oral surgery is the way to go! I have insurance for a reason!
