Florence Singh Flores, DDS

I moved from Long Island to Astoria 5 years ago, and I continue to make the drive back here to see Dr. Singh. She is a bona fide dental nerd. She really likes her job and prides herself on her work, and it shows.

Best dentist ever. Gentle, sweet, & genuine.
Also told me after viewing my X-​rays the guy who did my root canal (& charged me an arm & a leg for it) ripped me off by not doing a very good job of removing all the root.

I am MAJORLY dentist-​phobic. I have had some terrible dental experiences in my lifetime… this includes a childhood dentist that liked to drill without novicane and later having my lip caught by a dental drill… not good…
For those reasons I have been very paranoid about going to the dentist and usually put it off until the last minute at my own detriment. When I developed a tooth ache earlier this fall, my future brother-​in-​law recommended Dr. Flores, and despite my reservations about dentists I decided to make an appointment. Dr. Flores agreed to squeeze me in on a Monday morning, despite me not being an existing patient.
When I arrived at her offices, I was thrilled to find that they were extremely clean and modern. Dr. Flores was extremely nice, even when I warned her that I was a really nervous dental patient. She sat me in a very comfortable dental chair and took some x-​rays very quickly and without much fuss. She was extremely professional and upfront the whole time. I needed a root canal and she was able to refer me to a wonderful specialist who also agreed to take me the next day. Dr. Flores had already sent over my x-​rays when I arrived for my root canal and followed up with my insurance company to ensure I could get my crown in place quickly.
I have since been back to Dr. Flores for cleanings and fillings and every time I am impressed with how sweet and professional she is. She does the cleanings herself, which is nice as some dental hygenists can be a bit rough. She always reassures you and lets you know that if at any time you need a break, or something is too painful to just raise your left hand to let her know. I have never had to do so yet as she is very gentile and works fairly quickly. I would recommend Dr. Flores to anyone, especially the dentist-​phobic like myself!
