I went in after 10 years of not going to a dentist. I had to have a root canal done. Which the dentist did that day. I got basic novacaine and barely felt a thing. The tooth was sore for a couple days. 2 motrin seemed to be all I needed. I made my 9 year old an appointment that day for a cleaning. Which I was told could be done that day. I was never so impressed with same day service. Cleanings are done on the same day as new patient exam! I've been to several places which require 2 different appointments. I work, I don't have alot of time to take off or go in late. The dentist is wonderful. Very nice and explained everything to me in terms I could understand. He also accepts Masshealth. Very few places do these days. He specializes in kids OF ALL AGES and can do most surgery same day. As long as you make the time he will get it done. A++++++++++++++++++++++
