I had a very negative experience at a different local dentist and quite going to the dentist for 5 years! One of my teeth started hurting so it was time to go in and get it checked out, there was no way that I was going back to the old dentist. Just by the title of No Fear Dentistry, I decided to try it.
The staff is wonderful, they go above and beyond to make sure that you are comfortable and know exactly what they will be doing. Also VERY gentle in cleaning....my past experience at the other dentist was that it seemed like the hygienists goal was to inflict as much pain as possible with those sharp little tools, not at No Fear.
Oh, and my hurting tooth? Apparently I had been clenching my jaw. They told me things I could do to stop clenching along with a tip sheet to take home and I haven't had any problems since :)
The business staff are also great, really appreciate that they tell right up front what your insurance will pay, how much the patient is responsible for as well as having a long term treatment plan with all of the cost layed out so you know over the year how much you have to pay.
