Bruise on my lip!
Isabel R.

Today 9/12/24 I was scheduled for a regularly scheduled 6 month dental cleaning at 12:30pm. The office representative called me and said they had a cancelation so I could come in at 11:30am. I came in at 11:30am and I was seen by the Dental Hygienist Judy . I asked her if she had cleaned my teeth in the past and she said no. I asked her to please not use the powered hand held scaler and just use the regular manual scaler because the powered scaler was very uncomfortable. She told me due to lack of flossing and the buildup of plaque it would take too long to use that and she refused also because it would be too much on her wrist. I said okay but I will let her know if it is uncomfortable and she said fine. She proceeded to use the powered tool and I had to wipe my neck and face multiple times due to water trickling from my mouth. Most dental hygienist wipe that if they see that the water is getting on your face or neck. I had to move her hand away multiple times because it was feeling as though she was drilling in my tooth. She showed me that she was not drilling in my tooth and at this point she was doing a full mouth debridment. I told her I came in for a teeth cleaning only. She said well I've done a full mouth debridment and your insurance will cover 80% and you are responsible for 20%. The dental Hygienist went on to say that I will need to come back for a dental cleaning in 4 to 6 weeks. I was not prepared to pay anything because I came in for just a dental cleaning and now I had a bill because Judy said so and didn't even ask! In my last 6 month appointment the same procedure was done and I was not charged anything. I was walked out by the assistant Jana and she was instructed by Judy -Dental Hygienist to give me a tooth brush and toothpaste for gum repair due to gingivitis. When I checked out I paid the 70.80 for the service I didn't come there for. Everything happened so fast that I just paid the bill with resentment because of how roughly I was handled and how I was spoken too as if I never go to the dentist regularly. I haven't had an issue with my teeth as far back as I can recall! I called my Dental insurance company Delta Dental when I got in my car once I realized I had a bruise on my lip. Also, I went back into the office when I saw that the dental cleaning appointment was scheduled for March 13, 2025 when she said I should come back in 4 to 6 weeks. When I came back in the front desk receptionist saw that it was scheduled and she gave me a card for Oct. 15, 2024. Now, If a patient ask to have the dental hygienist use the manual scaler tool I don't understand why she couldn't, after I explained to her that the powered hand held scaler is very uncomfortable. Her response was she isn't going to do it because it is too much for her wrist and we would be here all day. I'm the patient paying for a service and she did whatever she wanted to do. I do not have what she eluded to as far as me having to call for a full mouth debridment. The powered hand held scaler is more for timeliness of the hygienist and not for the patient. At Burris Cosmetic and Family Dentistry I never had my teeth cleaned with this powered hand held scaler and the two times I've come to American Dental it appears it is their practice to do this. She never checked my teeth for soft enamel to see if I had cavities and she never had the dentist come into the room to look at my teeth. This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had at an appointment to get my teeth cleaned which didn't take place completely. The 70.80 charge for a full mouth debridment should have been billed to Judy the Dental Hygienist because she did what she wanted to do and not what I came there for! I feel like I should be reimbursed because the procedure she did is the same thing that was done 6 months ago minus not checking for soft enamel and not having the dentist come in. I have made a formal complaint to my insurance Delta Dental and I would like to be reimbursed for the 70.80 that I paid because she didn't do anything g different.

Not an ideal dental office. Receptionist does not know what to do. Waited for hours just to fill out forms.

They stated that they will look into it and continued to schedule the appointmet for the procedure. On the day of the procedure; Dr Aloe (female Asian Enthrodontist ) was not very nice or welcoming . She seemed annoyed that I asked her a couple of questions. Two weeks later I received a bill in the mail for $1,365 for the root canal. I called the office and was told by the office manager Megan that she apologize for the front desk not telling me that they were Out of Network for my coverage. I will never recommend this practice. What I will recommend is that you go somewhere else because they are money hungry!

They confirmed with me that yes, indeed I needed a root canal. They could have scheduled me in fairly quickly but I was going out of town the very next day for quite an extended period. I was dreading the actual procedure based on nightmarish stories that I'd heard before. Boy was I in for a surprise. The only real pain that I experienced was the actual numbing shot to the inside pallet. However, once fully numbed I felt nothing. Bonus points for not having the whole side of my face numb. I expected pain and or soreness afterwards but only experienced muscle soreness from having my mouth open for a little over an hour. Kudos to those who worked on me. Would highly recommend.

The dentist explains everything in detail and gave me two choices. One of them. I would just be wasting my money because the same thing would happen all over again. He advised me to get an implant which I agreed to I have not had the worked done yet, but I can say the doctor seemed very knowledgeable and understandable to my needs. I would recommend this place based upon the friendliness of the doctor and the staff

He even manage to find other like minded humans like him with most of the office staff.. If you're seeking a compassionate and skilled dentist, I highly recommend Care First Dental Team. The entire staff fosters a supportive and patient-centered environment.

I used to love going to this dentist. USED TO. My daughter…read moreand I were patients from 2012 till about 2014. An unfortunate issue left me with a very awful experience no parent should have to deal with. Long story short, my daughter needed a procedure and because I didn't want to put my daughter under anesthesia this brought on unexpected challenges. For starters, my child (at the time) was 5 years old. When the dentist, yes the dentist, told me I needed to leave the room so she can proceed I absolutely did not budge. If she thought I was going to leave my daughter alone in a room with people I didn't know, she was out of her mind. I was not leaving my child alone for one second. Come to find out, all they needed to do was inject my daughter with a numbing shot and her tooth issue could've been fixed. Instead they gave me a hard time because again, I didn't feel comfortable putting my child under anesthesia.... The final nail in the coffin was when I asked for both my daughter and My medical records. I was told that I couldn't get them until my daughters bill was paid....hello HIPAA Violation. I haven't been back since & have been a happy patient elsewhere.
