I took two days off of work in Boston, braved a Greyhound bus trip and midnight taxi cab ride, and woke up at the ass crack of dawn just to have my childhood dentist, Dr. Gregg, do my fillings. I hadn’t been to the dentist in forever(5 years) when I went to an office near my new place in Massachusetts who gave me a ridiculous quote for fillings and made me believe my whole jaw was going to rot off if I didn’t take them up on it. I instead got a second opinion form Dr. Sagor, who assessed my teeth honestly and let me know what fillings I needed and which ones I didn’t. Pricing: I pay out of pocket, so it’s not cheap(what dentist is?) but what I paid was less than a third of what I’d been quoted at the other office. Plus, the procedure was totally pain-free. I know folks who have had root canals done here that have been as painless as a root canal can be. Dr. Sagor is hilarious, and great with kids. I have many fond memories of latex gloves being turned into balloons and given faces with sharpies! But he also knows his stuff, which I appreciate. His hygienists are also very professional and friendly. In summary: the dentist’s office doesn’t have to suck!
