Just before Christmas, I was dealing with a crazy ass toothache where the pain kept escalating by the hour. It got to the point where I had to act or risk ruining Christmas. So I called Meda Dental, based on the three Yelp reviews. Boy, am I glad I did. I have found my new dentist.
Dr. Medanaga was great. But before I get to her, let me talk about John. He answered the phone, asked me what brought me to calling them and then slid me in for an appointment one hour later at 4:45 PM. Wow...I was floored.
When I got there, John turned out to be a dental assistant (or hygienist - I don't know the difference) and was super helpful. He was aware I was in major pain and actually moved the clicker for the last X-ray right next to me so he wouldn't put me in more pain than necessary as my mouth struggled to hold the thing that keeps the thing steady so the Xray machine can do its thing.
John explained how the practice actually uses laser for cavity work, which sounded cool. Sadly, I had no cavity. When Dr. Medanaga came in to examine me, she identified a fractured tooth and referred me to a specialist. She also explained the process that I will go through depending on what the specialist found. Turned out, I needed an emergency extraction the next day. However, I will be back here for my normal cleaning, etc. as I move forward with a better regime for dental health now that I have Meda Dental on my side. I am no longer an anti-dentite!
Thanks Meda Dental! read more
