I visited Nicodem for the first time yesterday, the staff at the front were very professional and polite. I was called to the back by an older black lady, unfortunately I cannot remember her name. I'm not sure if my youth or lack of insurance was an issue, but I felt that I did not recieve proper care. I was aware that I had issues with three of my teeth, but during this visit I was lead to believe that I would need many of my teeth pulled if I did not come back immediately. The lady told me that my teeth were RAPIDLY declining, based on "SOMETHING that I had to have been doing wrong." I'm not sure how she could have made this assumption considering that she had never examined my teeth before and I am a new patient. Once the dentist came in, he was a lot more polite and respectful, and not surprisingly, he pointed out the three problem areas that I had initially spoken of. Unfortunately, after being coerced by the lady to look at other teeth that she was concerned with, he suddenly began to have major concerns about the health of nearly every tooth in my mouth. He began banging on my teeth trying to induce pain, and asking me if they hurt and if they kept me up at night. After I said no, he paused and looked at the lady and they began to whisper at the computer without giving me insight on what was happening. He also told me that I had spoken of experiencing hot or cold sensitivity, which was simply untrue. I had not had any pain or sleepless nights. I asked how many teeth would need to be pulled, he looked at the x-ray and said it depends on how deep the cavities are. I assumed that he could answer, being that the x-ray was right in front of him. I have been to the dentist often, despite my current situation and I have NEVER been told that I have all of these issues or spoken to in the condescending way that I was yesterday. It's extremely unfortunate that I can only assume that the fact that I'm 21 may have contributed to my negative experience, as the lady did ask how old I was because I looked "so young". I will be seeking care from an office that will respect my time, age, and money.
