Dr Kalb and Doctor Vi gave me and my 10yr old about the worst Pediatric Dental experience EVER. Due to insurance we had to switch from our regular doctor. Dr. Andrea Lederman. So we decided to try Tiny Tooth because it was in our group and super close to home. Our first visit was pretty basic. She has two cavities that needed filling. Week later was our follow up and fillings. Dr. Vi insisted on gassing my kid. Since she has allergies and had an eye appointment right after. I didn't want her to have a reaction or be out of it. Never has ANY dentist tried to suggest, much less, force Nitrous on my child. Our former doctor had no issue numbing my kid and working on my kid and there was no squirming or figgiting, which Dr. Vi said she couldn't deal with. Apparently she isn't skilled enough to numb with lidocaine and fill a tooth. It seems she can only work on sedated patients. They were totally disrespectful to my wishes and concerns. Complications to anesthesia and sedation runs in our family, she was told this twice and she insisted that no kid ever had a reaction to Nitrous. In the end, she reluctantly used the lidocaine, filled one tooth and then said she couldn't do the other one without the gas and kicked us out of the office. Saying my kid wiggles and figgited too much, which no other dentist ever complained about. I think she's unskilled or not confident in her needle skills and relies on the gas to compensate. If that's the case you need to be up front with the patient instead of being argumentative and disrespectful to our needs and wishes. Worst pediatric dentist experience ever.
