Anyone Have a Great Dentist?

Hi ladies, I am looking for a dentist in the Sac area. I live in North Natomas, so the closer the better. I would like a smaller practice that has a more personal feel instead of a place that is huge...we tried Park Place Dental and didn't really like it. Please let me know if you have anyone you would reccomend! Thanks so much! J.

Help with Teething

Hey moms, need a little help here. My 5 month old has started teething I believe. She drools, puts everything in her mouth, and for the past 3 days has had a temperature from 99.7 to 100.9. I give her Tylenol, but sometimes it does not help. How long does this last. She is not a fussy baby at all. She only cries if I don't get her her bottle quick enough and after her shots. Right now though she is crying all the time. Sometimes I can't put her down and the normal things that sooth her are not working. I guess my question is how do...
