Dental Care Westgate

I absolutely cannot recommend Dr. Dubin and regret having been with him for 10 years. First, he saw that my root canaled tooth was decaying on the x-ray, but did "not want to tell" me in the hope that it would "get better by itself". For more than a year, I was in terrible pain without diagnosis, with (as I now understand) abscesses from the root draining from the gums until I finally developed vertigo, googled my symptoms and self-diagnosed. The tooth had to be pulled, it was entirely black when it came out and the dental surgeon said that there had been so much bone loss that there was no hope for an implant. I was very lucky that I did not have severe blood poisoning from the infected tooth. I don't know why I continued to see Dr. Dubin... On Monday, during the cleaning I experienced some pain when the hygienist scraped under my gums. Dr. Dubin determined that I needed a new crown and had me scheduled to come in the next day. Fortunately, I took my children the same afternoon to their pediatric dentist, Dr. Brian Yoshida and I mentioned my crown. I wanted a second opinion and you can imagine my shock when he told me after thorough examination that my "tooth was perfectly healthy" and I did "not need a new crown" at all. The pain I had experienced was from the hygienist cleaning under the gums which is perfectly normal. Please spare yourself the trouble.
