A few weeks ago, I suddenly developed a toothache in a back tooth. I was telling my niece about it, and she suggested that I call her dentist, Hodges Family Dentistry of Braintree. I did as she suggested and from beginning to end it was a wonderful experience. Before I go any further, I would like to say that I am apprehensive and quite the “baby” when it comes to going to the dentist. When I arrived, I was greeted by two kind and friendly ladies at the front desk. After filling out the paperwork, Cassy, the dental assistant, brought me into the examination room. My dentist, Dr. Parker Hodges, examined my teeth before Cassy took x-rays. Dr. Hodges looked over the x-rays and explained the situation. He then went over my options and the pros/cons of each. I decided that the best option for me would be to pull the tooth. I got an antibiotic for the infected tooth and an appointment was made to get it pulled. I was, and still am, confident that I went to the right place. When it came to pulling the tooth, I have never had such an experience. Dr. Hodges is methodical, skilled, and painstakingly thorough. I felt no anxiety/nervousness during this appointment. I attribute that to the competent team of Cassy and Dr. Hodges. I did not have a “death grip” on the arms of the dental chair, my shoulders were not tensed up around my ears and my feet were not stiff. That is a first for me. Thank you, Family Dentistry of Braintree.
