Not every toothache will require such drastic treatment. Your dentist will decide, after assessing the condition of your tooth, what route of treatment makes the most sense for you. Worst case scenario: the tooth will be deemed incurable and will have to be removed. Though, for many toothaches, this step is often not necessary. A

Our whole family goes to Kingston Dental and we love it!!! My kids are very nervous going to the dentist, and they couldn't stop talking about how great Edita, our hygienist, is and how nice and comforting she is! She really made them feel more comfortable and confident through the whole visit. We also love Dr. Cahill and the other doctors! Thank you guys for the positive dental experience :)

I always receive wonderful care from my dental hygienist, Edita. She's gentle yet very thorough. The health of my teeth and gums have never been better and at 66 years I'm looking forward to keeping them that way for years to come! Thank you Edita and Dr Sam!

I went to Kingston with a toothache a couple of years ago, I was new to the area and they were close to my new house. I told them which tooth hurt and they told me they did not think it was that tooth and proceeded to work on a different tooth first to later find out it was the tooth I was complaining about. The tooth ache got worse as they waited to work on it... they finally decided to put a crown on the tooth that was bothering me, but that did not help and they had to do a root canal immediately through the crown they had just put on. The root canal they performed took every bit of 3 hours. I did not like the way the billing department handled collections, they are aggressive and come to collect payment before you are even out of the chair. Needless to say I did not return to this office. About a year later the pain returned in that tooth and I come to find out that Kingston left a canal open during root canal and this has now caused bone death in the tooth and it will need to be extracted. After spending thousands of dollars at Kingston, they have caused irrecoverable damage to my tooth and I will be spending thousands of more dollars to remove and replace it. I have spoke to multiple dental professionals all of which have reassured me that the poor root canal was the cause of the bone death in the tooth. If you are reading this review- do yourself a favor and pick a different dental office

So I had to go in for a Root Canal today. As we all know they can be quiet unpleasant. The staff at Kingston as normal went above and beyond. Thank you Dijana for making this experience not as dreadful as I have heard. Before, during, and after the procedure ensuring that I was comfortable, keeping me informed on how the procedure was going. No pain through the entire process and just another reason why after a lifetime of hating the Dentist, Kingston Dental has made it something I look forward to. As long as Dijana is there I will not be afraid to do another root canal.

This was the dental visit I had been dreading!! Take off a bridge that had been in my mouth for 30+ years, pull an infected tooth that had a root canal forever ago and have a new bridge put back on. Oh fun for me... not!!! But Dr. Greif and his assistant Autumn made what could have been an exhausting and grueling visit into a very easy, simple and surprisingly comfortable experience!!! The level of care for me was amazing and so very much appreciated, especially because on top of it I have TMJ. My jaw never felt sore or uncomfortable at any point in time!! Thanks Dr. Greif for taking the very best care of me!!!
