During my fight to beat breast cancer, I found that cancer treatments affect the entire body, including teeth and gums. Side effects of treatment included taste changes, dry mouth, and sores inside my mouth. \r
As soon as I was cleared by my oncologist, I made an appointment with Dr. Singer at Brighter Dental in Clementon. My first impression was that he was an intelligent and serious professional. I also found him to be caring, compassionate, and concerned with my wellbeing.\r
So, yes, I developed tooth decay, and needed to have cavities filled & root canal work. I needed a personal boost, so I decided to have some cosmetic work done also (whitening, veneers). Dr. Singer let me know what needed to be done, asked for my input on how to make me comfortable, and worked out a personalized treatment plan. The work gets done, I feel better. On one of my later checkups, I was informed that I had 3 small cavities near the gum line. Well, I started crying. All that kept racing through my mind was that I had battled cancer, was felling & looking well, but it was going to haunt me. I really thought all of my teeth were going to fall out. Dr. Singer was very kind about it all. He was obviously puzzled at my reaction (Crying over a cavity?!!). But I explained my fears to him. He calmed me down, assured me that he would take care of me, and that I would be fine.My visits at Dr. Singer?s office have done much to lift my self-esteem after going through cancer, being bald, and generally feeling bad!\r
I found the office to be well-kept. Brighter Dental has a vibrant & caring staff, always encouraging & supportive. The staff is cooperative, skilled, and very good at their jobs. I do note hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a new dental team. I have every confidence in their ability to care for me. I feel that Dr. Singer and his entire staff take responsibility for their patients and I have a great smile to prove it!
