5 reasons why I'm switching dentists

1. Your office name, Gentle Dental, is deceiving. Never bled that much after a cleaning...ever.

2. Although you and your staff speak English, your accent makes most of what you say incredibly hard to decipher. And I hate just nodding my head like I've understood what you've said so you won't have to repeat yourself a third time.

3. I don't take kindly to being reprimanded for not flossing my teeth twice a day. And the whole, "Do you floss once a year?" comment was incredibly unnecessary. I'm never going to floss my teeth twice a day. I can commit to flossing once a day. But that's it.

4. Just because I ask questions doesn't mean I wasn't paying attention. So there was no need for you to stop mid-sentence and say, "Pay attention."

5. The whole, "Your gums are slightly inflamed so we need to see you again in 6 months. And if they're still inflamed I'll be forced to do a deep cleaning," threat ain't gonna work, sister. Cause you certainly will not be touching my teeth ever again.

I'm currently taking suggestions for a good dentist in Brooklyn.

The boys and I go to 5th Ave Dental. I don't love them (but then I usually love any dentist) but from they sounds of things, they are better than Gentle Dental. They do have a really great pediatric dentist, though, which is one reason why I've stuck with them. Also, they speak English and their equipment isn't 50 years old. ;)

Sometimes I blame the language barrier for inappropriate remarks, but Gentle Dentist was just rude in any language! You have gorgeous teeth-paid for them myself!:)and you have ALWAYS taken good care of them - no cavities and no fillings. Should have had you see Dr. Tommy L. when you were last here. He's a great dentist who appreciates his patients.

Dental schools everywhere (yes, even Russia) need to teach that more patience means more patients.

Wow, rude!! Hope you find a new one that's not quite so lacking in the PR department.

Dr. Jeffrey Dressel is a gem.
