Now I hear you have other options too like Laser dentistry, CEREC 1 day crowns and porcelain fillings (not plastics). My dentist at the Arizona Center for Laser Dentistry was able to use the laser to do my dental work with the advantages of basically no pain, and on one of my teeth they didn't even need to use a shoot to get me numb and I had a shorter and more comfortable recovery. They say you can even have a dreaded root canal treated with the laser. They have the latest in Laser technology by using minimally invasive treatment of an infected tooth. And better yet, they used/made me a CEREC restorations which is a SAME DAY all porcelain crown. Same day! It did not contain any metal, which is not only safer for your mouth but looks good too! I was able to get everything done in one day (didn't have to take off work again to come back and get the final crown!) I would really recommend this dentistry office.

Root canals...be ware
Regardless of whether its your dentist of 20 years, next time you need a root canal ASK if formaldehyde is in it. DO NOT let them do it. I became a random viction and have permanent nerve damage from it...burning pain, horrific and 24/7. I can't imagine living this way. A friend ended up with an infection that ate away her jawbone. She was a random victim too. These dentists don't tell their patients...and in both our cases, even after they harmed us. We could have gotten it corrected (or atleast mitigated) but the dentists chose to conceal the truth. Dental schools teach not to use it (Sargenti Paste and similars) and have for decades. A rogue group of many general dentists use it even though they are aware all of mainstream dentistry is against it. The FDA REJECTED it in 1993 yet the undercover compounding and use goes on.
Visit our site to send a petition to the FDA to put a stop to this (coming...please check back). Read our stories on the front page.

Bad dentist
Hi Philip,
Sorry to hear about the inaccurate ratings you found for that dentists you mentioned. I do hope you will leave your own rating on the site in order to warn others. That's what RateMDs is all about. Thank you.
