I'm an old man with just a few teeth left after many fillings followed by extractions, so I know the difference between a qualified dentist and a hack. This guy's a hack. A good dentist will proceed slowly, first numbing the surface area, then a small injection to numb deeper, followed by injecting into the root area. Not Porcaro, he jams it straight in to the nerve, 2 shots, front and back and shoots in the juice and it hurts like hell. Being in such a hurry he missed the target both times and within 5 minutes started to yank out the tooth, and I let out a bellow. So he gave me an amazingly painful shot in the back of my jaw and waited about 15 minutes. It was a front incisor, it still wasn't numb and hurt like hell but I let him continue until he had it out because the shots hurt even worse.
When it came out I said "Oh, thank God" and he said "NO, thank Me and my God-given talents". Yes, for inflicting a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering.
There was no follow-up, no post-extraction advice or usual piece of paper advising what to do or not do, and he charged me $185 for this non-surgical, normal extraction.

Next time I need a dentist I'm checking reviews first. Lesson learned.

You pulled my teeth and gave me dentures which turned out great. The bottoms did not fit and I have to put stuff in them 4 or 5 times a day. I don't know if they were too long or need to be filed down. I told you I had a broken jaw from a car accident and the dentist left wire in my gums or something so other dentist would see that I had a broken jaw. Now one of the wires is coming through my mouth and it hurts and I dont know how to get it out as only part of it is through the gum on the bottom. I moved back to Oregon September 8 but need to know what I can do about the bottom plate as it does not fit and I told you that and you said it would once it was able to heal. Now I have that stupid wire coming up and then the teeth were too long or something. I was even going to take gremmel like Jacki did but didn't want to ruin them like she did. can you tell me what I can do because it hurts and my bottom plate keeps popping up even with the stuff you line them with. Thanks Mary Barnes
