Have not been to the dentist in over a decade -- have bad breath, suspect gum disease? What would fixing this entail? I have dental insurance.
I do need a compassionate dentist, as I have a tendency to be embarrassed.

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.

You more than likely have extensive gum and bone disease. This will definitely lead to bad breath at the least. A deep cleaning and "scaling and root planing" is most liekly the first step in fixing your situation.Good luck and cheers,Reed Hallwww.laurelwooddental.com
