The 2 cleanings I've had with him have been brutal and the most painful ever. After the last one, he damaged an existing filling because he thought it was buildup. I went back and complained, he prescribed a mouthwash. I went back a second time and he consented to damaging my filling, only because I insisted that something was wrong after he flossed my molars and took the filling with it (he hadn't seen what he'd done). When he went to fix the filling, he gave me one anesthesia injection and went to work. It felt as if he'd given me nothing and was drilling on my bare tooth. He gave me another injection. Still painful. When I complained, he gave me at least two more if not three (I was terrified at this point). The entire half of my face, including my eye was numb for the rest of the day. I even had trouble focusing my vision to get back to work. I had severe swelling and pain that persisted through the weekend (saw him on Friday) and it is now Wednesday almost midnight and I still have visible swelling on my face as well as the same pain that I went to see him for. I can barely eat with the affected molar. It was just a filling, one that was perfectly normal until he touched it. And now I've had 6 day's swelling and pain.

About Hygienist: Terrible -- specifically, the African American woman. She is rude and mean. When I complained that I could *feel* the filling taking place, this woman jumped up angrily as if I was wasting her time.
