Dr. Denise Orlando, DMD

One of the worst experiences ever for my daughter and I. I have had lots of dental work done in my life for myself, and never had an experience like today. I Took my 5 year old in for an emergency pulpotomy (root canal for children). She was very impatient with my daughter who was very uncomfortable due to the piece they put in your mouth to hold it open. Instead of checking on her, and talking to her throughout the procedure to make her feel better and more comfortable she was irritated my daughter was crying and told me my daughter needed to be sedated for any other work. My daughter sat completey still through being numbed and the procedure itself. I do not recommend to anyone who has a small child that may be upset or timid. I am very unhappy. Show compassion, she is only a child, and maybe ask why she is crying, it had nothing to do with the root canal itself.
