They do not have BPA free fillings. I asked if their fillings were BPA free and the dentist said they were, but then when I looked on the MSDS it says that they did indeed have BPA (Bisphenol A) as the second ingredient. The dentist was very adamant about pushing her ideas about fluoride, about how the benefits outweigh the risks. I don’t know how much I can trust her about her views on fluoride because she is not even diligent enough to read the MSDS and realize that she did indeed have BPA in her filling materials. \r

Also, I got to my appointment at 8:45, my scheduled time was at 9:00 but I like to make sure that I am punctual, the dental staff however is the farthest from punctual that you can get. For a simple exam and cleaning I was in there office for 2 hours, I walked out the door at 11:00. \r

The secretary was also annoyed with the fact when the MSDS sheets printed it was quite a few pages and she acted very put out about it. She mumbled something about it, but I forgot exactly what she said. \r

Another thing that bothered me was if your child did not do well with during the procedures with nitrous (laughing gas) then they would restrain them by wrapping them up in a blanket and would charge $135 to do that, I just thought this charge seemed a little absurd. At our old dentist I always liked going back with my child and if I needed to I could always hold his hand so he would not try and grab his mouth. I dislike that you can’t go back with your child at this office. I don’t think I would take my child back to this office because I really dislike the thought of wrapping him up like that if he does not behave.\r
