2 /5 Kailyn Arciero: Wasn’t the best experience unfortunately. The dentist hops around from patient to patient. They take about 10 in at a time and you are frequently left waiting alone in the operation room. Weird experience. Anyway, maybe they are good at remembering what patient is receiving what treatment. But this was a problem for me because I have a fear of needles to the point where I often pass out after getting a shot. I put in the medical records that I have fainting spells (which isn’t exactly what it is, but I assumed they would ask me about it; they never did). They don’t even tell me when Im getting the shots (2) in my mouth, they just did it. Immediately afterward they left the room and I was beginning to black out. Keep in mind that all the sharp tools were set up on either side of me and I was still in the operating chair. I managed to get to the ground, but I was there for a while before they noticed I just nearly passed out. Wasn’t too happy about that, and I was surprised they continued to leave me alone in the room for 10-15 minutes at a time while they hop patients. I also think they gave me wayy too much numbing medicine because I couldn’t move my face from after the operation (about 11am) all the way until I went to sleep. It was just two small cavities. All that being said, I think they did a decent job on my fillings as they haven’t popped out as far as I know. I will say I suspect one of the cavities was never there though as I never felt any sensitivity in that tooth, couldn’t see any decay even though I looked very thoroughly, and they didn’t show me on the x rays where it was and when I asked they couldn’t really explain well where the other cavity was. I felt like they were lying, I should’ve just walked out. But it’s so hard to find dentists.
