Dental Health of Maplewood

One of my close friends Recommedn strongly to com ein here .Here the every staff are very knowledgable on their work. Highly Recommend to all of my friends.

I have only been to this office twice and highly recommend them. Everyone is friendly, understanding and professional. I really dislike going to the dentist, but Dr. Bruce and his staff made me feel comfortable. My tooth extraction was a much better experience than I would ever have imagined! Finally I have found a dentist office that cares.

I had an extremely bad experience with the dental hygienist, Rhonda. I have been going to Dental Health of Maplewood since I was a child and this last experience has made me not want to come back. For starters, I show up, on time, for my 8:00am appointment and Rhonda doesn’t come to get me until 8:15am. So far, not the worst thing that could happen. After my not-​so-​brief consultation, I realized why. She is a talker. She asked me three times if I had any concerns about my teeth and each time I said no. She then proceeded to tell me how, over the last 29 years, she had seen me a number of times. She then went into all of the area that they were watching. By this point, it is 8:30am and she has not even looked at my teeth. I understand for some people this might be interesting but for me I just want to get in and get out. The dentist office is not where I care to spend a lot of time.
Then came the «cleaning». Let’s put it this way, she is not gentle. Three separate times she mentioned there was bleeding and it was not because I have bad dental health. I asked her why this was happening and she explained that she needed to «get under the gums». I have minor recession and when she scraped over an exposed nerve multiple times, I expressed that I would like her to be a little more careful. Instead of apologizing and moving on, she went to explain the reasons for recession and what could help with it. I explained to her again that I had no sensitivity issues with my teeth and that perhaps the sharp metal device she was using was the only reason for my discomfort.
Halfway through the cleaning, I met with Dr. Paul briefly which was very nice. He was very genial and, after a brief examination, he told me that everything looked good.
For the remainder of the «cleaning», I was just trying to grin and bear it. My recommendation is that if you find that Rhonda will be «cleaning» your teeth, you find an excuse to be elsewhere and reschedule with a different hygienist.

I’ve been going to Dental Health of Maplewood for the last 8 years or so, and have always had a fantastic experience. Everyone from the front desk, the dental hygienists, and the dentists are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I see Dr. Paul, but have seen the other dentists on occasion when Dr. Paul is out, and I have had an equally great experience with all of them. I am pretty OCD about caring for my teeth, but they’ve never made me feel bad about any issues or questions, and I never feel like they are rushing me out — they’re happy to take as much time as you need to answer questions and make you feel at ease. Highly recommend this place!
