Default Man in pain. Dentist recommendation?

I have been fortunate to have a dentist in MA for years that is fantastic (IMO). I have never spoken to anyone that does not rave about him, so it is not just me. He is still my main dentist as I use him when I travel up to MA.

Today, all that changed. I do not have time for a normal six month appointment. I bit down on something and POW ZING HOLY MOLY ...a shooting pain went through my core.

Something is wrong and I cannot use that side of my mouth. I can suck it up and eat soup for the weekend and be just fine, but I am going to need to see a dentist soon.

Anyone have dentist that they have used for some time that they trust and like?



Thanks

Call Palm Ridge Dental right away. Both Dr. Kathleen Williams and Dr. Reem Jabar are intelligent, very well trained (Gainesville, University of Florida) and kind. Tell them Grace G. recommended them. I think you remember our last name.


Hope you are feeling better soon
They are across from Crispers, behind Lang Eye.

Definitely Palm Ridge. I see Dr. Williams and my other half sees Dr. Jabar. Excellent dentists, and they have just added a new male dentist who people are raving about. I had (what I consider to be) the best dentist in Mass, he was a teaching professor at Tufts and I was terrified when I left him to move here.

Two folks that I have read and appreciated many posts on TOTV both recommend the same place?

Good enough for me. Thank you so much...

This past year I have had a lot dental issues and I might add I am a really baby when it comes to seeing a dentist. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Jaber at Palm Ridge Dental. She is wonderful. If you ever need a root canal, Dr. Ghazal is the best and if you reach the point you need a tooth extracted, Dr. Rosario is wonderful.

Talking Update and good news

They told me Ora gel helps to relieve pain. It sure did . I rubbed some on my tooth and I felt a piece of my tooth move.

Withing 10 minutes I was able to get that broken piece of tooth out and I am pain free

I will check in with Palm Ridge to see if I need to do anything further.

PS. My tongue is having a great time exploring the new 'cavity'

Thanks

I saw the new dentist at Palm Ridge, Dr. Schorr, for an emergency - portion of my front tooth cracked off. He was wonderful. I envisioned implant, etc. He had me on my way in no time, perfectly matched ceramic. Saw him again for full evaluation; said my previous dental work was excellent, didn't try to sell me any additional work. I'm thrilled I found him through recommendations on this site.

Everyone there is so nice and kind and very good at what they do. Eddie is one of my all time favorite dental assistants.

Alan, I told you the soup was clam ball bearing soup, you should have picked out the metal bearings before chewing on them. Lol
