Fort Des Moines Dental

My whole family,including two children see Dr. Howes and we really love him, he's a wonderful dentist, as well as their staff, receptionists are friendly, professional, personable. And the Hygienist we have all seen is wonderful, she is personable, professional and very knowledgeable herself, they all put you at ease the second you walk in the door and it's always a positive experience.My daughter has a rare reaction that novocaine doesn't work on her, we went to a Dentist for yrs that did work on her while she felt it ALL and traumatized her, Dr. Howes restored her faith in the Dentist again and she now looks forward to her dental appointments. Go here with confidence in great Dentistry, I've only seen and met with Dr. Howes,and I highly recommend him more

Worst Dentist ever. He didn't introduce himself, as I was crying from the jabs of the numbing shots(there was no comfort coming from him)finally his other person helping him decided to hand me a tissue. I wasn't informed of what he would be doing on me during my visit. At the end I noticed major discomfort when biting-and when I asked if it would cease his reply was "hopefully". At the end also after the doctor left I asked his helper the same question and all I got was a hopefully in 3-5 days. When I finally was able to leave I checked my mouth and noticed my whole mouth was covered in blood(spent 5 minutes spitting blood into their sink)this was from him checking to make sure I could still floss. I have never been to such a shitty dentist. more
