I have been going to see Dr. Sequeira since I first moved to Portland eight years ago. My teeth have been in pretty good shape, so mostly I have interacted with the dental hygienist(Sue, who is wonderful) and have had only maybe two-minute encounters over the years with Dr. S. Last Friday, however, I lost a filling while eating some sticky candy at the movies. I called the office the next day, they called me back Monday(they’re closed on the weekends) and were able to schedule me for an appt to get the filling replaced on Tuesday. This was a relief! My tooth hurt, a little, but not too bad… yet. So, yesterday, for the first time, I had a lengthy appt with Dr. Sequeira herself, and I found her to be very communicative, reassuring and incredibly good at what she does. I was in and out of the office in an hour, with a perfect, seamless-looking filling that was even better than the one it replaced. There was also no candy-shaming. :)
