Gail-Hygienist did a superb job checking and cleaning my teeth. She introduced herself and told me what she would be doing during my exam. She was friendly and we chatted a little as she was getting things set up. She took X-rays of my teeth and showed them to me and explained what I was seeing. She told me what she was going to do before doing different procedures. She asked me several times if I was doing OK during the exam. She checked my face, neck, lymph nodes, and jaw for swelling and lumps. She cleaned my teeth and shared what she was doing and seeing as she went through my mouth. Dr. Perman came in and checked my teeth and confirmed that I needed a root canal and a couple of fillings, etc. I have seen more than 6 dentists in my life and Dr. Perman is the best! Gail explained more about the root canal and gave me some suggestions about how to help prevent tooth decay. She also complemented me on how clean my teeth were. Becky, the office manager, always greets me with a smile and is so friendly. She found a time for me to get my follow-up work done as soon as possible. She printed an itemized statement showing the charge, insurance payment, and what I will need to pay. I am extremely pleased with the professional, friendly care I have received from the Perman Dental Office. read more
