I had never been terribly afraid of the dentist before, but after having my crown done here, I have a lot of anxiety to have any serious work done. The procedure was not clearly discussed with me so when we inserted the needle into my lower jaw and I felt a horrible pain all the way to my tongue, I screamed out of shock. Dr. King got irritated, explained that he had hit a nerve but I shouldn't have moved, then left the room for about 40 minutes. When he returned he used a different instrument to numb the gum before inserting the needle again; terrified, I asked for a minute, but which he replied "I already gave you 40 minutes", and proceeded. He hit nerves again, but I endured it. The rest of the procedure went well, until I came back to get the permanent crown. It was still tender and as they tried, like 30 times, to affix the crown, so I winced. He literally threatened that if I can't take the pain he would have to use a needle to numb me, after he had promised the previous visit that there would be no more needles. After this experience, I am even more terrified that I have to have two impacted wisdom teeth extracted, since he told me I could have permanent nerve damage from the extraction. I will never go there again.
