5 /5 Marla Tobia: Just moved to the area and needed to find a new dentist. I was looking for a small private practice versus a large chain company. Honestly, this is like a small hometown office. Everyone is so friendly.
I don’t have many major dental problems, other than I’m not a regular flosser and every few years I find myself needing a deep cleaning. Once again, I needed one. I’ve has this done 3 times before, all at different offices in places I formerly lived. This is a pretty invasive procedure and I’ve always been given analgesia. I’ve had nerve blocks and numbing gels. I didn’t feel anything with the nerve block and had some pain with the gel, but when they wear off, the pain is pretty impressive for a day or two. When I went to have the hygienist do my deep cleaning today, she told me she doesn’t use analgesics, but if I was having too much pain, she would give me something. Needless to say, I was a little nervous. All I can say is that she was the most careful, meticulous hygienist I’ve ever had. Of course dental work is uncomfortable, but it didn’t feel any different than a standard cleaning. I’m in shock. I let her know how impressed I was and she thanked me and told me she feels like many hygienists use analgesia to hide their sloppiness. They don’t have to be as careful if they numb you up. She said that they really try to only use it when necessary so their customers aren’t charged higher prices. They’ve definitely earned my trust and my business. So lucky to have found them.
