dental recommendations?

[burnunit]

Anybody know a really spectacular dentist with good "chair-side manner"? I have... issues... and I need someone who can concentrate on fixing my problems first and then get me on the road to better mouth care. I don't need a lot of fucking scolding. I know my teeth are really fucked up, I'm the one who has to live with that. I need a dentist who fixes the shit and also respects my desire to change.

I think I need Randy Waterhouse's dentist.

Oh, and I'm kinda poor. I mean, we just bought a house, we probably can't get a second mortgage yet to pay for a new jaw or whatever.

i can't remember their name, but there's a place on nicollet i think it is just past the black forest and it would be on the left if you were going from franklin towards the black forest. that place was cool. i got this dentist that was super mellow and talked like a hippy that made me totally comfortable. he was really good. i would recognize his name if you gave me a list of the names of the dentists that work there. that place is really good and it was recommended to me from a free clinic when i had no insurance because they don't rip people off apparently.

U of M, baby. And they are students, so you can intimidate them right back if they try to give you shit!

I like Dr. Kurt Witte at 16th and Como Ave SE, just north of Dinkytown.

You could also try Sedation Dentistry.

For a second there I thought you wrote Sedition Dentistry.

That would be awesome. They put anti-administration messages in your fillings.

I don't have any dentist recommendations, not having gotten a new one since my retired.

But I will advocate Sonicare toothbrushes. My old dentist recommended them (without pushing them) and although they're pricey ($100, and do check to see if the dentist you find sells them, because mine sold them cheaper than Target) I figured it was an investment in my teeth. And if it prevented one cavity in its lifetime, it would pay for itself.

6 months later, my dental hygenist gave me the big thumbs up my dental hygenie. Sonicare is REALLY good for cleaning your back teeth, which if you're like just about everyone else, it a problem area. It gets them all clean and shiny without any worry of brushing too hard (which is bad for your gums). I still have problems with my teeth, but at least now they're cleaner. Every little bit helps, right?
