Poor kid...poor Mom! That&#39;s horrible!!!<br /><br />We just visited the pediatric dentist for the first time last week and our experience was a dream. Whoever thought of the concept is brilliant...we need less traumatic things for our children, not a sweaty, rude, asshole-ish &quot;professional&quot; not responding to their patients&#39; needs...I&#39;m so sorry you guys had to go through

You should definitely send that dentist a link to this blog post. <br /><br />Maybe it will be just enough of a kick in the rear to jar their heads loose.<br /><br />One thing is certain, we run into incompetence on a daily basis...it&#39;s just more baffling when it comes from community professionals.<br /><br />Don&#39;t let your horrible experience give dentists a bad name!<br /><br />Help us

I had one of the best pediatric dentists in Tampa, Florida. He explained everything that was going to take place and then explained everything again while it was happening. Due to the procedures and not my dentist did I not like going to the dentist, but I had a great dentist. I still went all through college and then for a year after college until I completely moved away. I&#39;m so sorry you

Wow that is a CRAZY experience! My dad was a dentist in Florida and I remember him telling me about a dentist in the area getting arrested for breaking a little girls arm while he was trying to pull out a tooth. Just crazy!<br /><br />Now I&#39;m working for a company in <a href="http://www.doctorsofswfl.com/bonita-springs-estero-doctors/bonita-community-health-center/" rel="nofollow"> Bonita

This sounds remarkably like an experience I had this summer with a dentist and my 4-year-old who needed a cavity filled. I will NEVER go back to that dentist. I actually saw her typing into the charts that &quot;patient was uncooperative.&quot; Um, she was 4!! If she didn&#39;t feel comfortable with a young patient, she should have referred me to pediatric dentistry, even though this was a

I&#39;m bringing my daughter to the dentist TOMORROW for an extraction. This dentist came highly recommended by our much loved regular dentist so I hope we don&#39;t have that experience. What an AWFUL thing for poor Middle to have to go through! And you as mom! Ugh. My son had to have his front tooth pulled at 13 months (he fell and broke it, exposing the nerve) and they made me lay in the chair

Oh Sarah. . .I&#39;m so sorry. When my middle was only 3, she started getting cavities in her baby teeth---I think she had 8 at her first checkup! I first went to this dentist who gave me a bit of the heebie jeebies but I rationalized myself into going to him about 4 times. It got to the point where she&#39;d start screaming as we drove into the parking lot. He had NO personality esp for a

What an asswipe! I can&#39;t believe what a jerk he was! Heck YES I&#39;d send this blog post to him. Some people just astound me with their (lack of) people skills.

We live in MA too. I had a dentist try to pull my daughters front teeth when she was 5. I didn&#39;t let him and got a second oppinion. They didn&#39;t need to be pulled and they fell out fine and nothing was an issue. He thought he saw an absyss (not sure how to spell) but it was the teeth coming in. anyway we go to Natick: www.gotfloss.com and love it.

Ugh, this brings back memories of early dentist appts. I actually had a GREAT dentist. But I was too shy/didn&#39;t want to be a baby and didn&#39;t tell them when things hurt. So I suffered in silence for a bunch of dental procedures. Turns out my body needs a whole lot more novocane than is standard for my weight (still true...basically enough for an elephant to get a cavity filled last

How horrible!! I tell everyone this all the time....do NOT blindly trust doctors/professionals just because they are suppose to know what they are doing. But even I, as a nurse, struggle to head my own advice. It&#39;s sometimes harder for me because I don&#39;t want to be the &quot;pushy nurse who thinks she knows everything&quot; either. Don&#39;t be too hard on yourself, I think we ALL have

Thank goodness for living north of the border and having easy access to T3s (as they known in the hood). General operating procedure here is always cash in your prescription for the glorious T3s since most insurance covers the cost. Then hoard until required either for your own pain or in exchange for services / goods provided by the person in pain.

I hate to hear this. I had a horrible experience when I was about 7. I had a tooth that had to be pulled and it hurt like that. I ended up throwing up on the dentist&#39;s shoes while he was telling my mother what happened. Back then they didn&#39;t let parents in the room. I&#39;m surprised she didn&#39;t kill him. Like, literally, I&#39;m surprised she didn&#39;t kill him. My mom is kind of

My God Sarah, that sucks!! I was clutching my gut while reading through the whole ordeal. I know of this dentist and thank God have never brought my children there. We were going to use him until Jay went in one time and said he would divorce me if I ever brought either of our kids there! What a total azzhat! His demeanor during the entire thing was so unprofessional. I wouldn&#39;t be

Oh my goodness, I&#39;m sweating just thinking about this.<br /><br />I have (until this year) gone to the same family dentist for my whole life. There are 3 dentists there and they all know me and my life story. They all gave condolences when my mom died and the receptionist always asks how my family is holding up when I&#39;m in there. They always consult each other and give different

you poor things !!! very ironic as i am in the midst of trying to get a referral for my 7 year old from the adult dentist to see the pediactric dentist. once she turned 6 she aged out of the kids dentist for covered insurance. so i brought her to the adult one, that sucked ass and it was just a check up and cleaning. she has OCD and basically has anxiety about the simple things never mind a
