They did a good job

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169474) • United States 4 Nov 20

i got my crown today. They had to reshape it because my teeth had shifted since they took the mold for it. By the time I came home from work I had even forgotten it was there. So that was a good part of my day.

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 22 Mar 17

I thought about this today while the dentist was drilling on me for an hour. I felt helpless as things were done to me I didn't like. When I got phlegm in my throat I thought I would choke. When fingers went in the wrong places I...
