I haven't been to a dentist in 5 years(yes, I know), and due to a certain commercial dental practice in Sullivan County, I have a very real fear. The last few times I had a cleaning, that dental hygienist was very rough with my mouth and very rude in general. Aside from these unpleasant experiences, I needed an office that has late hours. I found that We Cater to Cowards happened to be open when I got home at 830 pm on Thursday, and Brianna was wonderful. She listened to my concerns and assured me that the cleaning would be done in a gentle manner. She happened to have a cancellation prior to my call for 10am Friday. When I asked about dental discount plans, she told me to wait until I got there to discuss it with Sherry because there was also another option, called idental, and it was possible I may save more money with that plan over the Cigna discount plans. Upon checking in with Sherry, I decided to go with idental, in which I completed the application process after my appointment and received 50% discount for my visit. My hygienist was amazing! She was very gentle and understanding, and told me we could split the cleaning in 2 visits if it got to be too much for me. Before the hand scaling and planing, she numbed my gums with a gel. I didn't feel a thing and I didn't hear any gnawing/scraping. She only works Fridays, I believe her name was Michelle, but to be honest, I was so nervous when I first met her that I could be wrong. Anyway, I was told I didn't have to come back for a cleaning before six months. I have an appointment with Dr. O'Brien to fill 3 minor cavities, and I'm actually looking forward to it after meeting him. read more
