So here is the deal, when I walk out of a Dentist office I like to feel like they knew what they were doing and that my teeth are really clean.
I went in here and at first they didn't have my records from my previous dentist. But they got them sent over while I was sitting there. I got x-rays and they checked my teeth. Still got a couple hanging on, so I was good there.
Then they went through a thorough dental exam (including checking the clunking in my jaw...TMJ...Awesome). But is was minor so they let it go.
Then I went from that chair to the hygienist chair. She examined my teeth again and started to go to work with the power pick and suction. I enjoyed the conversation, and I am sure that she enjoyed my slobbery, mumbled retorts as the suction and picks invariably altered my speech.
She polished the living b-jesus out of my teeth and finished the remainder of the cleaning. Was there a little pain involved? Of course there was, they are dentist and they stick metal objects in your mouth and try to mine for gold for 15-20 minutes.
But when I got out of there my teeth felt clean, and I was confident that they were. Not like my last dentist office where they cleaned for 3-5 minutes and called it good. Of course this may speak volumes on my oral hygiene, but I like the fact that it seemed like they put in a full effort on my chompers.
Staff was very nice and easy going, there equipment is rather new, but the facility reminds me of a jail with the painted brick (only real drawback for me).
Sad that I had to travel to Garbage Grove to find a decent dentist. This is my 3rd in 5 years. But looks like I finally found an old school dentist. I cant wait till they decide to pull the remaining 2 teeth out of my head. read more
