Flood Kevin P DDS PC

Dr. Kevin Flood is nothing less than excellent.
For about 15 years, I went to Dr. Flood, and continued to see him once a year even after I had moved to New Mexico. I flew in to see him. He’s that good.
Dr. Flood makes you feel comfortable, because he know what he’s doing, has a great sense of humor and takes an wholistic approach to dentistry.
Thankfully I didn’t have too many issues during those years seeing him. But when I did, he worked with me to remedy them quickly, using the best approach.
When I first met him, he immediately noted that I grind my teeth at night, which I didn’t know, but had the minor symptoms, like being able to «crack» my jaw joint and teeth which were ground down more so than was typical for someone of my age.
I knew that he was encouraging of not using mercury amalgam fillings, so we worked together to gradually replace of mine with porcelain.
With Dr. Flood I had to have my first crown, and it’s never been a problem.
When my mother was in the last years of her life, I brought her to Dr. Flood to have a new set of dentures fit, because a dentist in her former hometown had fitted them incorrectly. Not only were they were quite painful, but they looked like a set of teeth meant for someone who was 6 feet tall. My mother was barely 4’11″. Dr. Flood worked with us to create a set which were proportional to my mother’s face and the coloring was more natural to her. Not an extreme bright white.
So I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Flood. He always came through for me and my family. And his staff over the years, has been warm and friendly.

I was having tooth pain on a molar and was recommended to this office from a friend so I went in ready to be delighted. All the staff was great and all the equipment is state of the art. I had a truly great experience until I met Dr. Flood himself. He was abrupt, terse and made it seems as though any problem was my fault and that I was being uncooperative.
After a consultation he removed a cracked filling but left the bite high in spite of me saying that I could feel it when biting down. I had a lot of pain that night which persisted on and off for a couple weeks. I also had a new extreme sensitivity to cold. I came back in and he adjusted my bite and tried a new filling. The problem wasn’t solved so I came back a few weeks later to consult and give him a chance to rectify the situation. He took another x-​ray (which they billed me for), looked at it and said he didn’t know what to do. He suggested trying a $ 1,100 crown and added that it may or may not fix the problem. He inspired no confidence whatsoever so I took that x-​ray and went to another dentist who did a lot more thorough testing and said I’d need a root canal.
I’ve since had the root canal and I regret ever trusting Dr. Flood. Great location, great staff, great facilities. The guy in charge just doesn’t care.
