    East County Family Dental Center - Infection caused by the deep cleaning when Dentist ignored the fact that I had a cracked tooth

    I was very happy with my first visit to this Dental Office. I wasn't sure what to expect after…read morereading the reviews prior to going here. I was happily relieved my visit went very well. The office was very clean. The staff was friendly. I was greeted kindly too. The woman that took my X-rays was kind and responsive to my dental and health concerns. She also was very helpful to the dentist as they filed my chipped tooth. The dentist was straightforward and honest about my dental situation and very helpful when fixing a chipped tooth and recommending future dental care for my needs. I appreciate that! No unnecessary bells and whistles were thrown at me in the future plan either, but I felt if I would request more advice would be given. The hygienist was very gentle, friendly, and also recommended options for my situation as well. I was pleased that the staff was well versed in the billing codes for my insurance (DeltaCare) and was willing to explain what was listed so I understood. Since the hygienist was in-office this day, I was able to do X-rays, exam, and cleaning during the same visit--made me happy! I left the office feeling assured my teeth were good. My teeth felt exceptionally clean and smooth after the cleaning. I also didn't feel pressured to have to start the recommended care right away. I felt confident they would tell me if something was urgent to have done if it was. During my visit, I also observed how a difficult and jesting patient was being treated by the staff and Dentist. I was very impressed how kindly the Dentist and staff treated him. That alone helped my confidence in this office to improve. Thank you for a great experience. I highly recommend this place.

Two minutes later, the dentist came in and dismissed that completely, saying it was "just three cavities." I trusted them and had the fillings done. A week later, I went back for a deep cleaning. Within days, I developed one of the worst infections I've ever had. It peaked over the weekend, and I had to use Dr. On Demand just to get antibiotics until I could be seen Monday morning. I ended up at A+ Dentists, where they found a cracked tooth. The dentist there told me there's "no way they should have missed it," and explained that the deep cleaning likely pushed bacteria into the cracked tooth, causing the infection. I'm still dealing with pain, infection, missed work, and ongoing problems because this issue was overlooked from the beginning. The most frustrating part is that the X-ray tech appeared to recognize the problem immediately, but the dentist ignored it and pushed forward with fillings instead.

I have struggled for many years with dental problems and a fear of the dentist, and I honestly thought nothing could be done. I finally decided I couldn't let embarrassment stop me from getting the smile I wanted. My experience with Dr. Fossett has been absolutely great! He made me feel comfortable right away, took the time to listen to my concerns, and explained how we could make a plan to complete everything in stages--starting with the most important issues first. Now, I look and feel so much better, and all my worries have disappeared. If you're looking for a caring, understanding, and skilled dentist, you will not be disappointed with Dr. Fossett!

    I want to start this by saying I came as a TRICARE referral as I am active duty Navy. I got in a…read morecar accident a while back and chipped my two front teeth, and got it filled by Navy Dentists. And most recently chipped my left front tooth. My referral was to get both my front teeth filled bc when I went to my Navy Dentist, I expressed concerns that my two front teeth were too short compared to what I had before I got in a car accident years ago. And I wanted to be able to rip a bag of chips open again with my front teeth. I know that may seem silly, but it's something that was important for me to have again. I told Ms Cluff the same thing about extending my teeth so they can touch my bottom teeth. This is all of maybe a couple millimeters. She told me my teeth are like that bc of my bite, and that bc of teeth grinding, it made it shorter. She also mentioned that I'm not in my 20s anymore and my teeth are different and she doesn't know why there is a referral to fill both teeth when I only chipped one. I tried to tell her multiple times that my top and bottom front teeth touched before and that's why my referral is for both teeth, and I'd like to fill my teeth so they touch like before. She continued to persuade me otherwise. I can understand on some level why she would, because she doesn't know my medical history, but as a patient I felt like I was not being heard. To the point where I considered just leaving. And right when that thought came, she said she would do it. I asked her to just do her best for my ask. She started to fill my teeth and it actually looked goofy at first but I was happy that my teeth were touching. She said it was before polishing it. So I trusted the process. Then she started polishing and started speaking Spanish to her assistant. Which made me uncomfortable bc it seemed like she was talking trash, given our previous interaction. Then she was done, and it seemed almost too quick? This is obviously compared to how long other dentists in the past would take to fill it. Then she said things like she's glad I'm happy with it and she hopes I don't crack it. Which I thought was weird but whatever I trusted that it is ok. I left and when I got home, I looked in the mirror and my right front tooth was noticeably larger than my left, also you could completely tell it was filled. Of the almost decade since my accident, the fillings I had were almost undetectable. I drove back to the office and saw Ms Ana to even out my teeth. She came in and said, "I told you" which I'm assuming is in reference to me wanting my teeth to touch. I told her I was there bc the right tooth was a lot bigger than the left and that I could feel the edges of the filling on the back of my teeth. She filed it down. She would show me the mirror, I'd tell her where I thought needed filing and then she would file and ask if it was good. When I would tell her where to file, she would audibly sigh, as if I am inconveniencing her. At this point I'm frustrated bc I'm telling a dentist how to even out my two front teeth. I told her I just want it natural looking and asked if it was even. She said "to me it is". I just had to get out of there bc it was evident that she did not care and just wanted to be done. Her staff was very nice and tried their best to make the experience good. However I think if you come here, and you sense that she is not in agreeance with what you would like your treatment plan to be, then leave. Because she WILL perform malicious compliance to your ask. Meaning you will get what you ask for but in the worse way possible bc it's not what she believes is right. I got my teeth to touch, but it looks plastered on and uneven. My right tooth is still bigger than my left. This is the first time in over a decade of having fillings done that it has been immediately noticeable, I can see what I can best describe as grooves in the filling. Thank God I have a referral to a different dentist to fix what was done. I do not recommend this dentist.

    I felt conflicted in writing a review. I was a patient from approximately 2017 to about 2021…read more When I first started my dentist was Dr. Christiansen. He was kind and patient. The dental hygienist were also great. The dentist office had newer equipment and I sincerely enjoyed going to the dental office. However, as time passed I went in and a different dentist would attend me without explanation. Going to the dentist is already an unpleasant thing, and having a doctor I was unfamiliar with attend me without notice was something I didn't like. He seemed to get frustrated on one occasion when a crown would not sit properly in my mouth. They had to do another 3 d scan and remake it. I don't remember his name anymore, but I do remember feeling a bit uneasy in his care. At first I would get reminders and as time went on I began to have issues with my appointment not being scheduled properly. I would have to call to set up appointments because the staff failed to make them. The last straw for me was when I went in because of grinding my teeth and I was just rushed over to go see a specialist across the hall. I felt i was expected to understand the dental process, when I didn't, and I felt like staff was upset that I didn't want to make a decision when I didn't understand the process. I ended up changing dentist after that experience. The new dentist I went to explained it to me in a way I could understand. Now I wear a night retainer to alleviate some of the pressure on my teeth.
