This dentist will shame you for any minor issue. I told her I don’t eat much sugar anymore but I did in the past and she continued insisting that all my dental problems were the result of a poor diet. She said to completely cut out sugar, basically for the rest of all time, “Because you’ve done a lot of damage already.” Said I need three teeth pulled and that “I have cavities in almost every single tooth.” Very judgmental, very disrespectful. Do not recommend, felt like crying after the visit.
They also do not have payment plans, after each visit they will ask for the money in absurdly large chunks, one was supposed to be more than half a grand. I’m going somewhere kinder, and more budget friendly.
