Dr. Anthony Irving Richards, DDS

I had a Bridge that infected surrounding teeth and caused deterioration so much so that it required the two teeth supporting the bridge to be extracted. This problem was never detected. More likely, it simply was not brought to my attention intentionally. Although, x-rays were taken regularly, this dentist failed to find any deterioration of teeth until the gums presented infection that required, not only the Bridge to be removed but also the surrounding teeth. This dentist would use a extremely high hydro pressure during teeth cleanings that would cause me to tear despite complaints that it was very painful, and I often reacted by trying to move to avoid the pain. I perceived this dentist as immature, unprofessional and exhibiting retaliatory behavior all because of my often being late to appointments because my job was not easy to coordinate around scheduled appointments, and he did not have evening or weekend hours at this clinic.
