Dentists....
Ok folks.... Tampa Dentists. I FOUND ONE!
Dr. Gauthier on Fletcher is an idiot. He not only tore my teeth apart and insisted I needed "deep peridontal cleanings every 6 months", he also insisted I had 3 cavities that needed to be filled. I'm glad I hated that guy enough to go to a new dentist, because today I went to see Dr. Prado on Dale Mabry.
Dr. Prado took x-rays of my teeth, then spent a GOOD 10 minutes going through my mouth with a pic and mirror, examining every single tooth individually, and didn't say ANYTHING negative. When he was done, he looked at me and following conversation ensued:
"Your teeth are perfect..."
"WHAT?! Wait... so I have no cavities? No overbite? No bone loss?!"
"No, No, and No. Whoever told you that was very wrong. Your teeth are perfect. You have a stain on the back of one tooth, but it's not a cavity- the rest look great."
"... I love you!"
So there you have it. If a dentist keeps suggesting a bunch of procedures, look around his office. If it's riddled with posters and advertisements on teeth whitening, cosmetic dentistry, crowns, etc- then he's just out for your money. And DON'T go to Dr. Tiffenburg and Dr. Gauthier's office on Fletcher. Money hungry jerks!
Dr. Juan Prado on Dale Mabry. Love him. I'll see him in 6 months for a NORMAL CLEANING!!!!!
