THEY USE THE WATER PICK! I had never used one before and once they used it they were able to clear out a huge calculus of tartar on my teeth. No scraping needed, such a huge weight off of my shoulders. The scraping is the worst part for me.

I adore Dr. Noosha at Gentle Dental Worcester Trolley Yard! The whole staff there is so nice, and very transparent with pricing BEFORE you get work done, which I really appreciate.

I think they have both, they numbed me up pretty good so it didn't really matter to me much lol I am sure they wouldn't mind answering your question if you give them a call. But like I said they will numb you up for a cleaning if you ask, if thats why you don't like metal that is.

Also you are right, I spelled that wrong. But for comical reasons I will not be correcting it hahaha

Weird question but for cleanings at Feeley do they use that metallic pick or one of those hypersonic picks? I struggle with cleanings with that metal pick so I am looking for a place with the water hypersonic one.

Also I think you mean Gentle Dental and not Genital Dental. Although if Genital Dental exists please let me know where it is.

I'll Third this. Started seeing him at his old location downtown. Went there after I got a 20k quote from Aspen dental of stuff I didn't need. He is great, no judgement, just wants to see you have a healthy mouth and will go out of his way to help you accomplish that.

He is also very very liberal with Novocaine, he goes out of his way to make sure you don't feel any pain and that you always have enough Novocaine. No getting around some other feelings unfortunately.

His dental hygienists are great too, they are all super nice and do a great job. Their Front desk/office people have always fantastic too.

His new location is even better, cause you don't have to pay for parking anymore.

Besides that stunning endorsement for Feeley, the biggest piece of advice I can give anyone is to stay away from chain dental practices like Aspen Dental, Genital Dental, etc. They all want your wallet, not you to have a healthy mouth. The second piece of advice would be find a practice that is run by 1 or 2 dentists themselves, not a practice owned by someone else that hires dentists. I say this because those tend to be cash cow dental mills just like their chain dental practices old brothers, just on a smaller scale.

I’ve had a lot of anxiety and depression surrounding dentists, but Gentle Dental on park Ave at the trolley yard plaza has worked pretty well for me. The surgeon who pulled my last tooth shot me up with a crap ton of Novocain so I didn’t feel anything lol.

I’m not sure if they’re taking new patients, but Cornerstone Dental in Westboro is amazing. I used to have massive dental anxiety, and I can’t stress enough how amazing they are there.

I hired a professional because I just started getting annoyed after my own traps failed. It's World War Mouse at my house so I'm hoping they just leave. But yeah its winter, they seek warmth. At least they're mice and not city rats. Could always be worst.
