Sedation Dentistry Saved My Smile

I thought I’d post a letter of gratitude we received from a woman who is not our patient, but benefited from something she read on our blog. I’ve also posted our response. I just wanted to send a note to say thank you. I read on your blog about someone who, like me had trouble […]

Bite Feels Weird After Dental Crowns

I had composite work done years ago. It was finally time to get them replaced. My dentist suggested that instead of the dental bonding which repaired a chip and built up some gaps between my front teeth and the ones next to them, that I get six dental crowns. I went ahead and did that, […]

Dentist Wants to Restore ALL of my teeth

I’ve gotten myself into a situation and now I’m having second thoughts. I have been having trouble keeping all of my teeth healthy. I have three that need dental crowns already. My dentist suggested that I have bad teeth and we should just crown all of them to save time. I don’t feel all that […]

Did the Emergency Dentist Turn My Tooth Gray?

I had a horrible toothache and went to see an emergency dentist. I tend to avoid the dentist because I don’t usually have a good experience, even when there are not problems. However, this tooth hurt enough that I needed to get seen. He ran some tests that hurt and then did a dental crown […]

Will I Lose My Memories with Dental Sedation?

I have a pretty extreme phobia of the dentist. They recommended I use dental sedation. At first, I was cool with that. But, then they told me that I would probably not even remember the appointment.

My Son Won’t Sit Still for the Dentist

I’ve taken my son to the dentist twice, but he just won’t sit still. Both times my dentist said, “We’ll have to try again next time.” So for both appointments, which they did discount for me, he’s not actually been evaluated. I don’t know what to do, especially since he now is complaining that one […]

Dental Accidents: Dentist Cut My Tongue

I have never loved going to the dentist. However, I have not had a horrible experience until my recent appointment. I’d never had a cavity until after my recent pregnancy.
