I am looking for a new dentist in the Southwest area of Dallas. I don't like dentist; I rather go daily to my OBGYN for a pap instead of a dentist every 6mos. I need a dentist with a hygenist who has a soft touch. I have TMJ and I am so sore after I leave the office I have to watch what I eat for two days. The place I go has to send a reminder notice too. Otherwise, I will put it off for every. Just to help narrowing down my options, I have Delta Dental for my insurance coverage.
Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

I want to thank everyone for the info and the support I received. It is good to know that I am not the only person who dislikes dentist. Out of all of the referrals, I found three that take my insurance. That is great; that is three more than I had last week. Now, I have to calm my anxiety and make an appt. Once again, thanks. T.

I go to Dr. David Malone. He is in Duncanville. He has been my dentist for over 30 years! His hygenist is great! They do send reminders. His office is on the corner of Wheatland and Santa Fe.

Hi T. G, I don't know if Euless, TX is Southwest of Dallas, but there is the "perfect dentist" located in Euless, TX. His name is Dr. Rushi Master. His telephone number is 817/857-1046 and he is located at the corner of N. Euless Main St. and Harwood Road. I don't know what type of insurances he does take, but you can give the office a call and ascertain if he takes your particular insurance. He is the most "gentle" dentist I have ever had the pleasure of going to for dental work. I met him near the end of 2005 and had a full denture made in March 2006 and have not had any problems with any of the work that he did and did not "suffer" at all!!!!!!!!!! Best of Luck to you.

Dr. Payne and Dr. Edwards are in Mesquite on Gus Thommason between Oates and La Prada in the Sterling Medical Plaza. Wev'e been using them for over 10 years. They are wonderful, even my kids liked them. Not sure what insurance they take but it's worth it to call and ask. ###-###-####)

I found a dentist last Oct that is absolutely the best one yet-and I've had a LOT of dental work done. Monarch sometimes get scathing remarks from people I work with, but this particular female is worth the longer trip. The office is Monarch, Grand Prairie, off I20 at Carrier Parkway, in the same parking lot of Target/Home Depot. Ms.Gladys Stiggers ####-###-####. I had absolutely NO pain at all, even the actual numbing procedure was completely painless. Good Luck.

Are you going to get your teeth cleaned? I used to get my teeth cleaned every six months and stopped doing that. I thought the opinion on that had changed and it is now thought that it is bad for the enamel to have your teeth cleaned that often. I could be wrong but my family and friends all quit that routine.

T., I highly recommend Dr. Morlock. Although he is in central Arlington he and his staff are worth the drive. I am the patient that has been asked to leave and find a new dentist by 2 seperate dentists because I am such a bad patient and completely terrified. My husband and two sons have gone to Dr. Morlock for the last 4 years, and I have been able to have 2 crowns routine cleanings and some fillings without being sedated.
The office emails and text messages for appointments, however they only accept PPO plans. His number is ###-###-####

My husband sees a dentist here in Cedar Hill, Dr. Paula Brumit.
He cannot stand to go to the dentist, but he really likes her. I would highly recommend her. I do not know exaclty what area you are, but if you are close I would consider her.

T.,
Sorry I hadn't seen your request earlier but I was in California visiting a terminally ill niece. I highly recommend Dr. Larry A. Dunn at 541 W. Wheatland Road, Duncanville. He is a master at reducing pain to nearly zero. My wife shares your dislike of dentists and totally agrees with the referral.

I'm not sure if he accepts your insurance or not but we've been going to Dr. Greg Stroud (located in Lancaster) for over 20 yrs. He's always been great with us and the kids.

A good dentist close by you that my children and I use is Dr. Johntson.... of Cedar Ridge Dental in Duncanville behind pizza hut.... He has such a soft touch that my son who was very afraid of the pain didn't know his wisdom teeth had been pulled-thought he was kidding or had given up when they told him he was done.... The whole staff are a blessings.... You may tell them S. Newman sent you.... and tell them I mentioned the 1st visit discount.... Oh and by the way I use to have Delta Dental... They do take it and it is great -- hold on to it.... I don't have it know and everything almost is out of pocket for us. ###-###-#### dental office... Also...The hygenist did my younger son's teeth who is very sensitive and was thrilled and having fun with her. They are a delight and a blessing. Tell them we said hello.

Dr. Edward Miller and Associates in Duncanville is the best dentist office I've ever dealt with. They are amazingly sensitive to the patients needs. I've never seen Dr Miller, but his associate, Dr. Tim Murphy, is just wonderful. My daughter had a terrible experience with another dentist and wouldn't go for years until she had to due to pain/infection/etc. I recommended Dr. Murphy and she was very happy with the experience.

The number is ###-###-#### if you want to give them a shot. They're located at 410 W Wheatland Rd in Duncanville.

Good luck. I know dentists are not very well liked, but this one may very well change your mind. :)
