Camacho Charles T, DDS

This was our first visit to Dr. Camacho as our dentist retired. What a mistake. He’s in such a hurry, he doesn’t have time to explain anything. He’s in and out before you know it and his assistant does a vast amount of the work. Had an exam, x-​rays, 5 fillings and two crowns. The exam and x-​rays were very good. The fillings themselves might be great, but while in the chair the assistant must have been pressing down the instrument in my mouth too hard as I had a swollen lip for two days and looked like a stroke victim.
Now for the crowns. Needed two crowns for my two front teeth. The assistant put the temporary crowns on, not Dr. Camacho. They came out the first day, and I had to make a trip back the next day to have them re-​installed. Before I left, she gave me a tube of Polident. This in itself was a big CLUE. I applied the Polident in the morning only to have the temporary crowns come loose at night. My temporaries were in for a total of three weeks. One week before I was to have my permanent crowns installed, my temporaries came out and broke in half. Another trip to the dentist to have his associate reinstall them. The day before my permanent teeth were to be installed, I was eating mashed potatoes and one of my temporary teeth came out and broke. I almost swallowed it.
I mentioned all of this to the dentist at my appointment to have my crowns installed. His response was that front teeth are difficult with temporary crowns as there is not much to hold on to. I have never had this happen in my life.
Question: Why put in temporary crowns if they are not expected to stay on? Why, if they are not expected to stay on, was I not given the Polident right away?
This is the worse dentist I have ever been to. I won’t be going back.
