I would like to report that her work three years ago on crowning a broken tooth was a success, but it was a disaster. It was painful from day one, which I told her and she simply brushed it off as "the sensitivity will go away." She admited that gum surgery might need to be performed, but she didn't have the time (she is always in a massive rush), so she went ahead an put the crown on anyway, jamming it in even though it did not fit well. Well, I moved out of state and waited FOR YEARS for the pain to go away, which of course, it did not. I could not use the left side of my mouth to chew anything. She also encouraged me to stop using my sonicare and "baby" the area. This resulted in me needing a deep cleaning a year later.) I finally found a great dentist in AZ and he took one look at the extra and said "Why was gum surgery not done?" The crown was so poorly fitted that one edge was hitting my bone. Once he took the crown off, it was like instant relief. I have since gone in for proper crown lengthening and now the new crown can fit like it should have in the first place. The only reason I went to Anderson in the first place was because she was recommended by a friend (who had never had any real work done by her).

About Hygienist: The hygenist, unlike most, did not even check the pockets around my teeth. Just did a cursory polishing. Really quick and kind of pointless.
