Dr. Tilelli has been my dentist for the past 22⁄23 years. I am in my mid twenties and still go to him. His office is right off Route 2, and is a decent size. He has 3 chairs, though one is usually reserved for procedures he does himself. He is very calm and very softspoken, but as I’ve gotten older I have been able to experience some of his very funny, very dry humor. He remembers my father and asks about him all the time, and even remembers where I work and if I’ve been on the road. Kathy and Linda are his 2 hygienists that have been there the whole while, and I do not trust anyone to clean my teeth besides them. I’ve never been picked at, poked, made bleed by either of them. I think the biggest testament to Dr. Tilelli is that he doesn’t push for unnecessary procedures or referrals to orthodontists. I have had 1 tooth pulled to avoid messing up my adult teeth when it wouldn’t fall out, my sister had 1 cavity that he decided not to fill because she was going to lose that tooth anytime. My sister and I both have slightly crooked teeth, and he never once suggested we get braces, he said it would do more harm moving everything else to fix the 1 – 2 teeth that were out of line. Another favorite quote from him is that my sister and I have better and far cheaper teeth than his kids. If you have a child that is scared or may be a trouble maker, they specifically do early morning and weekend appointments, as to not frighten other children, and they will suggest not bringing any younger siblings they might frighten. I’ve also been told they are one of the only pediatric dentists that accept the state of ri insurance by several coworkers taht were on assistance/single moms
