So, I just moved to Yonkers from Upstate. Being busy with two babies under two and a full time job, I haven't been able to find a dental "home" yet. So when my tooth starting really bothering me on a Sunday I was nervous. It was swelling up and was abscessed. I took some left over antibiotics out of desperation hoping it would help. It didn't. The next day, I called a dentist that told me to come in and "wait" and that I would be "waiting a long time" but to "just come in and wait". Well that sort of uncertainty when you're in pain from an abscessed tooth sounds like eternity. So let me get to Dr. Cohen at Sprain Brook Dental... He was great. I found them online. I called at 11:30am and by 12:15p I was sitting in his dental chair get x-rays done. He said the tooth had to come out and I agreed. He's a straight shooter, upfront kind of guy from what I could tell. He gave me the "gas" (nitrous oxide)at no additional cost to help calm my nerves, and then he started numbing me up. Which that barely hurt at all. After that, I literally felt nothing. Actually, I felt good. Ha, go figure, I felt good while at the dentist getting a big molar pulled. He made sure to stitch me up. He gave me a better antibiotic to clear the infection and strict instructions on how to take them. I was a little sore after the Novocain wore off. Popped 3 Advil and pain was literally gone. I went back to work and went about my day like nothing happened. I'm going back next week to get the stitches taken out and do xrays of my mouth to see what he can do for me to make my smile nicer. I hope his cosmetic dentistry is as good. He said he does everything. And just a side note. The atmosphere is very laid back, A very old school dentist office with no bs or upselling from what I could tell from my one emergency appointment with him. I'm cancelling the appointment I had with a different dentist (the one I originally called but couldn't get a firm answer as to how long I would have to wait) on Thursday and will go to Dr. Cohen instead now. Everything happens for a reason. Thank you Dr. Cohen! read more
