Dr. Christensen is friendly, and very professional. His staff is polite and courteous. He is highly skilled with crowns and fillings. He uses nitrous oxide, local anesthetic, and valium for patients who need it. He is also very generous with payments and lets you pay over time withouy charging interest. He is genuinely a nice fellow. Howerer, I have several problems with him. He is not able to property anesthetize my lower teeth with local anesthetic. He cannot seem to find "the nerve." This makes it necessary for him to give several injections beneath the tooth he is working on, which is painful and causes additional pain and swelling for days afterward. To be fair, other dentists have had this problem with my lower teeth. But I am disappointed that Dr. Christensen has not been able to resolve this issue and am therefore reluctant to let him work on my lower teeth. Another problem is that he does not prescribe adequate medication for pain control. After a recent procedure, I was once up all night with pain after he had told me I would need nothing more than Tylenol. When I called him the next day he was going to prescribe codeine in a dosage that I knew would do little to help
