We are new to the area & had a few people
tell us to go to Dr Turner. I checked reviews
online & all were good. I thought it was a little
coincidental that a lot of the reviews were
about how well their root canals went. Maybe
I was just paranoid?
I took my daughter for an exam. My 13 year
old (who has never had a cavity & gets
cleanings/exams every 6 months) was told
she had 2 really bad cavities by Dr. Turner.
He also said all of the surfaces of her teeth
were sticky which meant she had cavities.
He said he never takes x-rays in kids with
braces, but since her teeth are so bad he
really needed to. He showed me the x-ray &
pointed to a "darker" area. I told him I didn't
see it & he told me I'm just not used to
looking at dental X-rays. My daughter said
the hygienist kept stabbing her gums & it
also hurt when the dentist was "poking" her
teeth. She was very upset & crying after the
appointment & I was very stressed out.
She had the 2 "bad" cavities filled even
though I didn't see the darker area in the X-
ray & the "cavities" didn't look like the
pictures online. Maybe I'm just paranoid?
After they filled the cavities, they asked when
I wanted to come in & get the other cavities
filled. I told them I'm going to wait.
I asked her orthodontist to check her teeth
the next day & she didn't see anything. She
referred me to another dentist. The dentist I
was referred to did an exam & saw no
cavities. She told me she never does X-rays
on kids with braces because the braces hide
the teeth & she can't see anything. She said
she didn't see a darker spot or any sign of a
cavity on the X-ray & told me if she had a
"bad" cavity in the surface, it would probably
show up on the X-ray.
Guess I'm not paranoid after all.
Our health insurance changed this new year. Anyone recommend a great dentist office that accepts Anthem in union or Florence? Derringer and McGlone is our dentist now and we love them but they don't take Anthem.
