Moving to Walpole, I wanted to find new professional and services in my area. Everyone raved about Dental Assoc. I don't know why.
I'm 40 years old and have had MANY dentists throughout the years, ALL of them better than this place. First of all, they harass you with paperwork, like bad salesman urging you to sign and transfer all your previous dental records. I told her to hold on, relax. I haven't had a cleaning yet, why would I sign and transfer everything, without knowing if I even wanted to stay here. Well, my gut feeling was right. I DON'T want to stay here.
All I wanted was a simple cleaning, but the hygienist couldn't even get that right.
1) She never asked if I wanted topical cream, even though I told her my teeth were sensitive (and every other dentist has offered it). Amateur.
2) She ""randomly"" picked at my teeth. No clockwise pattern. No meticulous cleaning. Just random scraping.
3) She suddenly replaced the scraper with a ""brush"". Why? 40 years old, I never had a stupid ""brush"" used, especially in the place of a solid scraper. Amateur.
4) She surrendered and said Finished in 20 minutes. What? Done already? Yes. Get out.
I couldn't believe I got such a lousy cleaning. Where was the ""rinsing"" in between deep scraping? Where was choice of polish flavor, followed by the nice polishing of each individual tooth? Where the flossing with the nice glide string and rubber gloves? Where was the ""Spa Day"" for my mouth? Hell, I could've cleaned my own mouth better than she did with a toothpick!
And to prove it, I came home and looked in the mirror: Yup. Sure enough, there were still stains behind my teeth, where she had complained that the stains were ""hard to get out"". That's because you're amateur! Every other hygienist has cleaned it, except her.
She should be fired. But then, the whole office seems full of pretentious, lazy bubbleheads who neither know or care about dentistry. Beware. Go somewhere else and get your teeth really cared for by true professionals.
