When I first arrived at BFD maybe a decade ago. I was terrified. I hadn't seen a dentist in years…read moredue to the discomfort/pain/shame I experienced every time I entered a dentists office. I had dental procedure anxiety (self-diagnosed) something fierce. I never flossed. Brushed a few times a week. "You wouldn't be bleeding so much if you flossed," some so- called 'dental professional' would tell me. "It wouldn't hurt if you weren't stabbing me in my gums with no empathy," is what I would think to myself as I white knuckled some satanic saddle of dental doom, wishing I could afford gaseous ambivalence. When the pain in my mouth finally achieved victory over my fear of procedural pain, into BFD I walked. Janet sweetly laughed when I asked for gas, or benzodiazapine, or anything to rest my anxiety. "You'll be fine, I've been at this for years." She was right. While it took a while to un-f#({ the results of my dental neglect, I learned a lot. I was shown how easy it is to floss (with a floss pick- that's not cheating; it's just as effective as cumbersome filament floss). Dr. Drossner helpfully suggested I slip it onto my daily routine. I started flossing every time I waited for my shower to warm up. I quit skipping a good brushing to save a couple minutes. I'm not at 100%, but I'd get a solid A on the 1990s grading scale for sure. Eager excitement nearly effortlessly replaced anxiety and avoidance in advance of my semiannual oral inspection. The staff at BFD remember my chosen name (not just my government one). They find ways to make my visits cheaper. They remember that I don't like their music - they don't change it, but they remember. Dr. Drossner congratulates me on my newfound acceptance of daily tooth washing. Janet gives me a hug before I leave. I never knew until this morning after Janet effortlessly and (almost- I ain't perfect) painlessly descaled and polished my teeth, that dentists and hygienists experience anxiety about giving people anxiety. If you squirm at the dentist's office, they have to suffer their own discomfort with a HIPPA-suggested countenance of indifference. That means, everybody wins if daily dental diligence becomes standard. If you live in Beaufort or the surrounding areas, do your mouth a favor. Go see the folks at BFD. And at the very least, start brushing and flossing every day. It's better to floss your teeth every day for less than a minute than to hate a dental professional or yourself for an hour every six months. My name is Thieme Hall and I support this message.

They stand firmly on their theft! Offering no explanation other than they don't have a hygienist. The first time we tried to use their family plan these unprofessional jerk's literally turned my teenaged child into the streets, falsey claiming we did not pay for services. I had to produce receipts that we had paid them. They knew we paid them and they refused services. These are poorly disguised thieves! Horrible service and fully unapologetic and rude. Please do NOT EVER CONSIDER this practice. They have dropped the ball on taking care of our family every step of the way. Aweful and shameful... They are completely without dignity or shame...

They'll start work on you, then disappear to start on someone else, and that's how it goes. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.

What sets this practice apart is, well, everything! Dr. Babb is friendly, kind and the best at what he does. His practice is state of the art. I had not had a cleaning in several years and his hygienist gave me the least painful cleaning I have ever received. The office staff is top notch and go out of their way to make sure you understand their billing and what you can expect to pay after insurance. NO ONE pressures you to have services you (or your budget) may not be ready for. Last, but certainly not least, Dr. Babb's staff genuinely like him - I heard one young staff member tell him that she will be working with him until she retires. When another staff member got a call from her child's school, he told her immediately to "Go" and he had no disapproval or irritation at all in his tone. I'm so impressed with Dr. Babb and his entire practice.
