lucky at cards, unlucky at love they say... i won't comment much one way or another about that,…read morebut based on the accuracy of this kind of old-truism I wonder if there's similar advice from wise ones who know about teeth. in my case, whatever it was i had to do to get lucky about dentistry i must have done so in spades. by that twisted opening i mean to say i've had virtually no problem with cavities or root canals (whatever they are) or implants or much of anything. i also seem to be blessed, whatever that means, with luck when it comes to finding parking places in big cities, i mean like they're just always where and when i need them. others have noticed and can confirm this. so it was a bit of a shock when my regular dentist, Judy Husen who is excellent by the way, announced in a gentle voice recently that you know there's like a little problem in the very back with one of your upper molars, a crack has developed and inside something evil is developing. it's not cancer or heart disease or senility but why not address the problem sooner than later, eh? at this point I needed a bit of time to get used to this idea of losing one of my oldest friends, but then I asked for recommendations, someone who could do what was needed with as little discomfort as possible. that's how I wound up contacting Dr. Mynesberge. to cut this typically overwritten review shorter, i'll end it by the best i can say about his work: tooth was gone while i was somewhere else thanks to some combination of wonder-drugs, and to my amazement there was not a bit of after effect, no swelling, no pain, no problem. YMMV but Dr. Mynesberge is fantastic.

If you're someone who struggles with dental anxiety like I do, this is the place to go. I left feeling cared for, respected, and genuinely grateful for such a positive experience.
