First visit to the dentist in like...FOREVER

I don't hate the dentist but I can't afford it, and it's been a good deal longer since I've seen one.

I'm really glad you found a dentist you're comfortable with!

Leslie,

Your story reminds me of when I went to the emergency room because of my gall bladder.

I was waiting for the doctor to come in and talk to me. He came and brought along a, what else????? DDG resident with him. He explained that the ultrasound showed gallstones and said the gall bladder would have to come out. Then, he said, "So, when was the last time you had a good rectal examination???" I was MORTIFIED !! To add insult to injury, he had the resident do it!!!

I took my son to the dentist for the first time and his teeth were great! He was so perfect that the dentist gave him extra prizes and also took pics of his teeth because they said his teeth were so perfect and grawing in great and that its very hard to find a child with such nice teeth! I was so proud to hear the good news and he doesnt have any decay or anything starting even though he eats to much sugar

I had a DDG dentist for about 30 years; he retired a couple of years ago and I still miss him. He gave good dentistry I never had pain and his work was flawless. Many of the bridges he installed in me have lasted for 20 or so years. I miss him but still go to his office. The female dentist he sold his business to is just as good and he drops in every once in a while and surprises me.
