Went in for routine cleaning/exam, and all he wanted to talk about was "improving my smile". He wasn't tactful about it, either. I've had braces and my teeth are straight. They are a bit yellowed (partly from genetics, partly from coffee, etc--no tobacco ever). His advice, presented without tact or sensitivity: pull 4 healthy teeth and replace them with implants, and bleach the remaining teeth. This dentist is far more interested in cosmetic dentistry (and the money it brings) than in dental health. And he makes no bones about it. He's rude and tactless, and his staff is no better.

About Front Desk: When I walked in, three staff members were chatting at the front desk. None stopped to greet me. I had to stand waiting until they finished their tete a tete.

About Hygienist: She chewed gum the entire time she worked on me. I could smell and hear it through her mask. She was rough and hurt me several times by going too far with her tool; had she not been watching "Ellen" while working on me, perhaps she could have been more accurate. I indicated several times that I needed suction; she never noticed or anticipated it herself, and was slow to give me suction when I did ask. My teeth did feel clean when she finished.

Hygiene time: 20
