Parkside Dental Care - Boston

I've had really good experiences with Dr. Dority. She's very friendly and calming.

Although staff was very nice initially, they tried to insist that it is standard practice to redo fillings every 3-5 years. I know for a fact from years of visiting dentists (and getting my fillings!) that the standard is 10-15 years. They did not like when I pointed that out and were extremely pushy when it came to procedures. When I asked why their practice suggested much more frequent filling replacements, the dentist became very unfriendly and began blaming me for something in my diet (soda, which I don't drink), and implied I couldn't have nice teeth until I was "honest" with her when I said I was very careful with my diet, and basically threatened to pop out my fillings to prove a point. This felt especially strange, when they initially told me 3-5 years was "standard" and suddenly it wasn't, I just was apparently a "special case." They also tried to convince me that I have cavities in almost every single tooth (which has been verified false by another dentist!!). Overall it was a very uncomfortable experience that left me feeling self-conscious and like I was being scammed. I would be very very careful going here unless you are absolutely confident in your ability to judge your dental care or if you're able to get a second opinion.
