From the time I was a toddler until now (nearly 50 years later!), I have had negative experiences with dentists and hygienists. I have been to many dental offices in numerous states and always had poor experiences. There were always negative comments and scoldings at each visit: I was told I had "bad teeth"(tetracline stained); that my "gag reflex" was all in my mind; that my inability to adequately floss my less than perfect teeth was unacceptable etc. etc. That is difficult to hear as a child and as an adult time and again. So, I caved. I couldn't handle it. So recently I stopped going to a dentist.. for about 6 years. Then I saw Dr. Sayre's TV commercial and newspaper ads. I though about it for a few months, and then I made THE CALL. That was so difficult. I found the Advanced Dentistry staff to be different. They are friendly, professional, and skilled. My appointments were on time, little to no waiting! They listened to my history and concerns and made my experiences as comfortable as possible. To date, I have been sedated by Dr. Sayre twice and had one cleaning. Everything has gone well thus far. No problems with the sedation and procedures at all. Samantha is companionate, thorough and skilled as a hygienist. AND I have heard no negative comments; a refreshing change!
