Dentally Incorrect 

You’re Not Yelping

Reviews (and the replies we wish we’d left)
I told the doctor that fluoride was a poison and that there was no way in heck I’d be paying for it!
Message from the owner: You’re right—fluoride is technically a poison. So is oxygen if you have too much. So is water. So is thinking too hard about things you read on Facebook. But don’t worry, we didn’t charge you for the fluoride. We did, however, charge you for the extra five minutes we had to spend listening to your TED Talk on tap water.


I came in for a simple cleaning, and the hygienist had the audacity to tell me I needed a deep cleaning! I brush twice a day, I floss (when I remember), and I use mouthwash. But she said I had gum disease! She was clearly just trying to scam me. I walked out.
Message from the owner: If you floss “when you remember,” your gums definitely remember when you don’t. And they bleed because of it. You don’t need a deep cleaning—you need to listen to people who know more about teeth than TikTok.


Went in for a filling and they had the nerve to numb me without asking first! I felt weird for hours. I should be able to decide if I want anesthesia or not!
Message from the owner: Dear Braveheart. You absolutely can decline anesthesia! We’d be happy to let you experience 19th-century dentistry in all its glory. Just sign here and scream here.


This office tried to charge me $50 for a missed appointment! I didn’t know they were serious when they said they charge for no-shows. They should have called me that morning to remind me!
Message from the owner: We did call you. You didn’t answer. We also texted. And emailed. And trained a therapy dog to bark your name outside your house. You still forgot. So yes, $50 it is.


I went in for a checkup and they told me my wisdom teeth should come out. I told them I have no pain, but they kept pushing for surgery. I left. Not falling for that scam.
Message from the owner: You’re absolutely right—if something doesn’t hurt right now, it must be fine forever. That’s why nobody needs seat belts, smoke detectors, or cholesterol checks. Your wisdom teeth will definitely never be a problem. That’s why people only go to the ER after their appendix explodes.


They told me I had a cavity. I told them I didn’t. They showed me an X-ray. I told them they were wrong. They still made me get a filling. This place is full of fake news.
Message from the owner: We respect your extensive dental training on ChatGPT, but our X-rays disagreed. Enjoy your correctly diagnosed and treated tooth. Our X-ray machine must be in on the conspiracy. In fact, we frequently Photoshop tiny cavities onto images just for fun. Keeps us entertained.
