Like many older citizens who had a scary dentist as a child, I'm leery of going to new dentists. My precious dentist retired and now I need a new one, any advice would...

Ginger I did not want to have to change dentists after a few years either so I chose Dr. Stephen O'Neal. I have been very pleased with him and he is a lot younger than we are. He is located on Kinsey Drive. I would also say that Britt Ruby is awesome but he is only a few years younger than us. I have known Britt and his wife Lynette for many years. His sister Frances and I were good friends. If you want younger I would recommend Dr . O'Neal. Good luck!

Dr. David Nichols - he's a Christian and doesn't do unnecessary dental work. Ann Fox referred him to me.

Dr. Britt Ruby ---doesn't hurt that his child is a BH alum either.

Copeland Creek Dental, Dr Paul Latta and Gentle Dental are all in The Shepherd's Guide and we hear rave reviews from everyone on all three. Dr Latta is early. 50's, Copeland Creek has two young Dentists, and Keith Gerber at Gentle Dental is probably in his 30's.

We use Dr. Stansbury and have since before Amber was born. He's fantastic! Small clinic. Never wait. All the latest technologies. I've had fillings and crowns and root canals and he's never hurt me.

Darla J. replied:
Radford Tarry in Tyler is the only dentist I've ever been to who will NOT hurt me. I've had route canals done by him with less pain than a cleaning. He's AMAZING. And he doesn't make me feel all guilty and ashamed that my teeth aren't perfect. I have had a LOT of dental work, and it's always been scary and mortifying until I found him.
Brenda F. replied:
Paul Latta is the BEST!!!!
Ruth H. replied:
Dr. David Nichols is the best. I had the same experience as you. Then my next retired so I changed and that one died so I found Dr. N. a good dentist and a good Christian man.
Taylor P. replied:
