28Er. . . this place is kind of freaky, to be honest. I showed up, and was seated into a chair. This woman started x-raying me, without introduction, or telling me who she was. I don't think we exchanged any words other than, "Open", "Close", "Bite Down", and "Okay". She kept double-guessing herself on how the x-ray machine worked, too. At one point I wanted to give her suggestions, just based off my previous history with being x-rayed, but I figured this was a dental hygienist fax-paus-- Probably something that they complain about when they go home and catch up with their families over dinner-- so I just kind of sat there, clenching down on this crazy x-ray apparatus for probably 20 minutes. The cleaning I got was brief and painful. They used, what I can only determine, was a super-sonic pain-emitter, for what made the extremely brief cleaning pretty uncomfortable. I don't think the actual cleaning could have lasted more than 10 minutes, which seems pretty sub-par. When I was asked "Just tell me if it starts to hurt." my response was "it kind of hurts the entire time you're using that thing", as I pointed to the super-sonic pain-emitter. Either she didn't care, or didn't hear me over the screeching sounds the thing as it clattered against my gums and tooth enamel, because she didn't let up. I originally went in because I read some yelp reviews about how good they are with needles (which I hate), and I thought I may need a filling. I'm pretty glad it never got to that point, because I can only imagine how it would have gone.

7I\'d expected to use him for implants, and after I had teeth extracted with another doctor who sedates you. After I found out I had to have something done that would affect what his office had to do and he found out I needed sedation for a tooth extraction...he kept saying I should find someone else for the implants. I guess I was too much work for the type of insurance I had.
