davis_squareI'm trying to find a dentist - preferably in the Somerville/Cambridge area, but I have a car and am more than willing to drive.
My requirements:
1) Must be a good dentist. My teeth are TERRIBLE. I've had 3 root canals (I'm only 26!!) and expect to need another shortly. I've recently had one of my crowns break, so I need to get that fixed. I probably have cavities that need to be filled, but I don't even consider that a big deal anymore. In other words, if you're lucky enough to have never had a cavity, a glowing testimonial about how nice and pain-free your dental experience is probably won't mean much to me ;P
2) I need to be able to make an appointment before the end of the year, for insurance reasons.
3) My dental insurance sucks, so I'll probably have to pay for most of this myself. Cheap, or at least not overpriced, dentists preferred.
4) Good chairside manner would be a plus.
I've heard good things about Dr Cook but I think I need a dentist who has better availability (due to the huge amounts of dental work I tend to need.)
Thanks!

Date: 2007-11-04 07:25 pm (UTC)DON'T go to Hart Dental on Cambridge in Inman Sq. I filed a complaint about them with the Better Business Bureau. They told me that if I didn't do $26k worth of periodontal work, all my teeth would fall out (second opinion revealed no problems.) They also refused to do sealants unless I did an expensive tooth whitening procedure. (My teeth are not remotely yellowed.)
