let me start first by saying i am TERRIFIED going to the dentist!!!
dr putnam was nice enough, i liked that it's a family run office....kind of felt that dr putnam wasn't really the one in charge....
i came in with a toothache and figured getting it pulled would be the easiest.....
first, they did the x-rays wrong....i never had wisdom teeth, and my mouth is small....i've always had to have them use the child size bite-wings because the adult size won't fit in my mouth....tried to tell them this, and they ignored me.....actually hurt my jaw trying to bite onto it....
after i kept expressing concern over the procedure of having my tooth pulled, numbing and making sure that we had a SAFE signal in case i was in pain.... with no explanation, dr putnam decided he wasn't going to continue.....NO EXPLANATION WHY..... i really didn't think i was out of line or being unreasonable regarding my fears....after all....IT'S MY MOUTH!!!!!
i ended up going to a different dentist, dr newborn at worthy family dentistry in hiawassee where they took a panoramic x-ray (after looking at the original which DIDN'T SHOW THE WHOLE TOOTH) and they were patient and answered ALL my questions regarding my tooth....
turns out because it's a molar with really deep roots i have to go to a specialist anyway.....they were completely understanding my concerns and wondered why my questions went unanswered at dr putnams....
at least they only charged me for the x-ray.... i would not recommend them..... read more
