Have been a regular patient of this dentist for 20 +/- years only to find that he had been woefully neglectful in the care of my mouth and of my gums. My new dentist was dumbfounded that this fella had allowed my gums to deteriorate to the extent that they had ... even with regular exams/cleanings/x-rays with Richard Powell. The technology at my new dentist's office is far superior - and my new dentist actually knows how to read the x-rays! Plus, he doesn't have his wife come in during an exam to try and sell me some snake-oil home remedy for bad breath! Based on my personal experience, beware of this quack. If you are looking for a new dentist, I would stay away. And if you are a current patient, well read above - and find yourself a new dentist.
