Dr. Chaiklin is a kind, energetic dentist but his techniques for filling in a cavity needs to be upgraded. My boyfriend went to see him and twice he ended up needing a root canal after he consulted several other dentists. The other dentists indicated that both times the filling was filled in incorrectly. He went back to Dr. Chaiklin to have it fixed and after the 3rd try Dr. Chaiklin could not correct the issue that was causing intense pain every time he eat and drank cold liquids. He has a great staff but he's not careful when he performs these procedures, in the past I've had to revisit him after a filling due to an overbite, and intense pain after chewing. Perhaps, this issue doesn't happen often but when you have pay 500 dollars out of your pocket for a root canal and have to deal with a partial fake tooth, it's a big deal. I regret referring him to my boyfriend. He now has a partially fake tooth when he's always had cavity free teeth. read more
