Case Description
I am an extremely phobic dental patient, but am trying to endure dentistry without sedation. Do you have a suggestion for a VERY gentle and understanding dentist in Sacramento (not suburbs, but anywhere within the city would be fine)? I have visited one dentist who was featured in a local magazine for his gentle practice and was actually not at all impressed -- not gentle, not even very professional. I have a toothache now, so it's sort of an emergency situation. Oh, and I have dental insurance through Delta Dental. Thank you!

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
