I am a dentist's best client as long as I remember myself. ?Is it genes or too much antibiotics in my childhood - I don't know why my teeth get holes so easily. When I was thirty my front teeth were already covered by veneer and I had 8 crowns - thanks to a good dentist I found in New Jersey. Eleven years ago we moved to San Diego and I started my quest to find a good dentist here. Well, it's easier to meet a princess than a good dentist. The first dentist was beyond the horrible. He could not clean my teeth properly so he simply drilled holes in my enamel where he found stains. He was very proud of himself, I retreated all in tears and started to ask everybody if they can recommend me a dentist. One of my husband's colleagues named me a doctor who she thought was ok. ?I got stuck with that dentist for many years. He was cleaning my teeth and did a few fillings rather clumsily - and that was about it. ?Meanwhile my teeth were slowly deteriorating but I could not trust him to fix them. I kept searching for a doctor with smart hands - no one was happy with their doctors enough to give recommendations. Good dentists are rare. When one of my friends finally recommends me Dr. Durkin, I had so many bad teeth with cavities and inflammations that it started to affect my general health. I came to Dr. Durkin's office in need of one tooth extraction, new bridge, several crowns and complete remake of all front teeth. ?Doctor looked at my xrays and patiently explained what I need and why. All her explanations made sense to me so I decided to give it a try. After the first root canal I realized that Dr. Durkin has smart hands and an excellent education. One and a half years later I can smile wide again, all my bad teeth are fixed and I know they will never be in a bad shape again since I found the doctor who is looking after me. My whole family - my husband and both of my kids are going there. I feel lucky - because I consider it luck to find a good dentist. I also feel grateful. Thank you, doctor Durkin!
