We will never go to Dr. T again. My husband went in for a routine cleanring and had 2 cavities filled. After 2 weeks of discomfort, he was still in pain so went back to the dentist and was told to wait it out. Within a few months, he was in TERRIBLE pain and ended up going to an emergency dentist who identified that one of the fillings was cracked and chipped. After fixing the first filling, my husband had terrible pain in the other filling. His entire jaw has swollen up to twice its normal size due to the filling. He has to get a root canal. One filling going bad could be a coincidence, but two? This is clearly incompetence. Do not go to this dentist if you want a healthy mouth. Also, the office is old and musty. They work odd hours and even when they are open it is unlikely that someone will actually pick up the phone. It usually took me 3 or 4 calls just to get someone to pick up the phone. Save yourself a lot of grief and find another dentist.

About Hygienist: One of the hygienists is ridiculous. I have one slightly uneven tooth in my mouth and she tried to tell me that I needed braces. She also tried to tell me that even though my wisdom teeth are healthy and straight, I should have them removed because "most people remove them." I don't know what kind of deal this office has with an oral surgeon, but I don't like being told that I should get costly medical procedures when my teeth are clean, comfortable and healthy.

I know this doctor: 2 years
