Cost:

I had a tooth extracted. I went for an eval first and she believed the tooth needed to be pulled. I was very nervous so I called my general dentist. He sent me to an endo and the endo recommended me get the flap surgery. I did not do that. I had my teeth deep scaled, that was when it was conclusive that the tooth was a sick tooth. Needless to say Dr. Barrett scheduled her hygienist to see me after hours for my deep scaling (that was unusual and kind treatment). The next day I went in and had the tooth pulled. (again after their usual office hours). It took Dr. Barrett about 2 hours if not more. Dr. Barrett's usual time to take out a tooth is 5 minutes. There was soo much decay and the tooth was fractured that it took this long. What an amazing person never mind Dentist. Dr. Barrett even gave me a hug when the whole thing was done. Carol who is Dr. Barrett's assistant was also very very helpful. We had a great chat about fractured teeth. I am thrilled I met this team of professionals. They all seem to be having a great time in the office together.

About Front Desk: Linda is such a great help with scheduling, talking ( as I am a fantastic talker as well). She would always work with me whatever I needed.

About Hygienist: Tracy was fantastic. She took me on a Thursday at 6:00 PM. to do my deep scaling. I went back yesterday after having my tooth pulled the previous Thursday. Another kind individual. I have very deep pockets in my mouth so now it is my job to keep up with my hygiene so I can keep the rest of my teeth in my head. Tracy said her and I will work as a team to make this happen. I cannot say any more about Tracy except she is great. The love of her job really shows. I hope in the end for total success.

Hygiene time: 60
