I have been fortunate to have had Dr. Dave as my primary dentist for over 20 yrs - and a good thing, too, as she has helped me retain my natural teeth and healthy gums, as I've aged.
The older generations of my entire family, unfortunately, had terrible teeth and gums and I was not spared from inheriting the same genetic problems.
When I first came to Dr. Dave and her team, in the 1990's, we started a modest, but aggressive plan to replace all the old silver-amalgam fillings I had "earned" since a child.
Her incredibly kind and efficient office staff were able to come up with a plan to do this at the least direct cost to me (they're wizards with working with most insurance folks).
They taught me a great way to help me keep my genetically-retreating gums healthy and as strong as they could be, as I headed into my middle age.
Of course, I've been very careful to keep all of my bi-annual exams and teeth-cleaning appointments with them through the years.
Dr. Dave always has the latest dental equipment and technology in her Moon Valley office.
We did this over the course of a few years so that I could work it within the bounds of my dental insurance - and it turned out great!
Next up, Invisalign - to straighten out the crowded teeth made crooked by late-arriving wisdom teeth.
Then, I got to the age my back molars were showing the inevitable signs of aging, with cracks & other signs of failure, exposing the sensitive root.
For my root canals, I went to a highly-recommended, well-regarded oral surgeon in Scottsdale - who, when he first saw Dr. Dave's preparation for the upcoming crown exclaimed:
"This is THE best preparation I have see in a very, very long time. What she did is exactly HOW it should be done, but rarely is, anymore.
May I take a picture for the dental students who take my seminar? What is your dentist's name? I will certainly send my other patients to them, so that they can also benefit from her expert techniques."
WOW! How about THAT for high praise for Dr. Dave's skill - and from a fellow dental health practitioner who is routinely listed as one of the best in the Valley!
Give yourself and all the members in your family a major, lifetime gift: the gift of Dental Health.
It makes such a difference in a child's life to be without tooth pain, and then to enjoy strong, quality natural teeth in their later life.
Give yourself the same, as did I.
It has made such a difference in my life - and I know it will do the same for you ! :-) read more
