Then there is that strange fear of the dentist because the mouth is a sensitive place. The mouth is so sensitive that sometimes activities such as flossing can make the gums bleed or inflict pain. We are more comfortable with having control over our toothbrushes rather than having someone Toronto dentistshttp://dentistfind.com/toronto-dentistsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934098248197121161.post-76837290321475634292012-02-17T05:16:39.984-06:002012-02-17T05:16:39.984-06:00Just write a very honest piece about how to find a...Just write a very honest piece about how to find a good dentist, what the different treatments are and what questions to ask- don't try to bring others down, it will only make you look sour.

I can honestly say that we have gained more patients from this practice then lost. The discount practice tends to be more of an entry level dental office for many. When patients come to us after first trying the discount practice, we are careful not to "Throw the clinic dentist under the bus".

But I find your latest post a bit disturbing. I have worked for a group practice and private and if you are naive enough to think that over treating is just occurring in the multiple-doctor practices then you are sadly mistaken.

Patients could walk in the front door in the morning and have all their teeth extracted and walk out with a denture in the same day.
