American Family Dentistry- Exton

Very bad experience. The good first : the support staff are phenomenal. Very pleasant and I was able to schedule an appointment and have all answers to my questions in an honest and direct manner. The bad: I was taken to a room in the back and was first approached by a dental hygienist. She was just doing an initial check to determine what type of cleaning would be needed. She used a sharp instrument and practically pierced my gums where each of my teeth were located. She kept saying different numbers and in the end informed me that I would need a.lot of cleaning done. This is when I started becoming suspicious. A dentist then came in and did the same thing. She examined my teeth in less than 30 seconds and informed me I had 15 cavities. They were also pushing the most expensive caps for the cavities. The dentist was borderline dismissive and they constantly used fear tactics to scare me into getting treatment done. My teeth have historically never needed much work. Certainly a cleaning and a couple of cavities...sure. but what I didn't like was the fear tactics. I highly doubt I had that many cavities and did the hygenist have to make me bleed so profusely to convince me to take the deep clean? I would have agreed to it if she just asked. My gums were sore for two days after just a checkup. Please be weary of visiting this dentistry as their first priority appears to be maximizing the amount of money they can make off of you. Your dental health features lower down the list. They do not give the impression of caring about their patients. I am currently looking for an alternative and a second opinion but will not be returning to this dentistry.
