Dr Lawver was my first dentist. I needed a cavity filled; also had a band concert after my appointment. I played the flute, so I needed to feel my lips to play, but was told I had to have Novocaine, gas was not an option (it had been before and my parents always paid). I was told Dr Lawver would be back in 10 minutes and I had to make up my mind- I knew my Mom took off work for this appointment, so my filling was drilled and filled without Novocaine. This I still consider very harsh to put on a 12 year old girl. I am very surprised Dr Lawver is still in practice. Happy I moved away.
