Here in Florida, we rarely see the dentist. My husband is upset about this as every time he goes, he asks the hygenist how he is doing. They always tell him he is doing great. Now, they took some x-rays (and it has probably been way over a year since they last did this) and tell him he has a cavity near a crown and they don't know if it can be easily fixed.
We go to Palm Ridge Dental now. However, if there is a dentist out there who operates more like we are used to up north, we would be willing to make a change.
Thanks,

I understand your expectations because we too are from Ohio. Generally I always thought that you began your journey to have a dental exam by scheduling a cleaning, but it is so long since I "began" with a dentist having had the one in Ohio for forty years, I didn't know. We too go to Palm Ridge and I really, REALLY like the dentists there, both Kareem Jabar and Kathleen Williams.
