Bowman Dental Group

I am still in extreme pain from a routine cleaning, which I have NEVER experienced before other than the usual tenderness. It has been over 24 hours and I still can not eat even soft foods like breads without being in pain. I’m on an applesauce and cottage cheese diet for the next few days after just a routine annual cleaning! They found no cavities which was great but the whole experience was an absolute nightmare!!! I was staring at the ceiling and telling myself that I was on a tropical island sipping on a frosty drink as she used the ultrasonic tool to clean my teeth. She had to use the sucking tool and water to wash out the blood in my mouth 3 times while she simply flossed my mouth! My gums never bleed when I floss at home! I really don’t recommend this office especially for children, they will fear the dentist for the rest of their lives after this kind of experience! I am calling them shortly to report this pain level and the problems I now have that I didn’t have before. They answered most of my questions but I could have used an explanation for their answers. The actual dentist, Dr. Bowman, was incredibly kind but the hygenist got an attitude when I told her that I was in a lot of pain from the cleaning. I felt WAY worse when I left. I would never visit them again and was very disappointed. Inflicting this amount of pain and destruction on a patient’s mouth is completely unprofessional and uncalled for in a dental practice!
