We will NOT be returning to this practice.
A few months ago my husband went for a checkup and complained of a sensitive tooth. The dental assistant swore nothing was wrong and sent him on his way.
Last week he's back for another cleaning. Low and behold the tooth is cracked so he's been living with unnecessary pain because of someone's ineptitude. He was also informed that a piece of filling (which they did not even two years ago) had chipped and gotten lodged in between his back teeth making him unable to floss. The dentist told him he'd need to come back so she could grind out the rogue piece. For what? A cost upwards of $200?! With a $7 dental pick and five minutes, he was able to remove the piece. Simple as that.
Where are all the honorable "family practices"? Certainly not here.
