Forest Family Dentistry

I have never posted a negative review but because of my experience with this office, I really felt the need to share so others could choose somewhere else. I had a filling done in October of last year. It was a deep filling and after this the tooth never felt right. I felt pain biting on it and sensitive to hot and cold. I went back to the dentist in December and was told that it was because it was a deep filling and I grind my teeth (even thought I wear a mouth guard nightly). I was asked to come back in a month if it still hurt. It continued to get worse and in January I went back to the dentist. Again I was told that it was because I grind my teeth but this time I was referred to an endodontist. That weekend my tooth became inflamed and I had to get an emergency root canal. I was offered no antibiotics at the dentist office and when I called for help they told me they couldn't help me. By the time I got the root canal my tooth was completely dead because it had been infected for months. I still experience numbness on that side of my mouth because of how bad the infection got. I have gone to this dentist for years but it has been mainly for routine cleanings. I would not recommend them for anything beyond that.

Dr Garland G. Gentry is a Liar and this is why. He told me he would sponsor a 8U little girls softball team, remind you, these little girls are from the Forest area, when I went back the next day to pick up the check for the $$, He was supposed to be one of many local companies to sponsor them. ((He Did Not))He had some blonde hair women at the front desk give me the runaround. Hes not here, hes not available and so on. So after two weeks of going back there and being told the same thing every time. He never helped them out to this Day. Just Sad

Normally (because I only ever get routine cleaning) they are kind and gentle. Theyre great with my kids. However, when I had a filling yesterday, I didnt notice until the numbing wore off that Dr. Patel didnt grind it down enough. It sits so high that none of my other teeth touch when I bite down. Its difficult to eat. No big deal, things happen. When I called today, the receptionist gave me a time that I couldnt possibly make work. I said I could come any time before that today. She then told me it was that or wait until November, my choice. So instead of fixing an issue that the dentist messed up, you threaten me with essentially take it or leave it? Horrible patient care and customer service. Do not go to this office if you need anything other than a cleaning.
