I took my three year old son to see Dr. Takenaka(a pediatric dentist) for a regular check-up.

I had two older children accompany me on this trip.

When Dr. Takenaka saw the older children, she asked whether they will also be coming in as patients.

In reply, I told her that they'll stay on with their regular dentist and that only my youngest will be her patient.

To my astonishment, she then proceeded to shove the X-ray film into my child's mouth and my son started howling in pain. In hindsight, I should've left right then and there.



She then told me that my child had to go under general anesthesia to be treated.

When asked whether laughing gas or less drastic local anesthesia were options, she started going berserk on me, screaming at the top of her lungs that only general anesthesia would do!

I've gone on numerous doctor visits with my three children, and this is the first time I've seen a doctor literally foaming at the mouth, screaming with her eyes about to bulge out of their sockets.



Unless you and your children are fond of being terrified and screamed at for no reason, I'd avoid Dr. Takenaka and dupont children dentistry like plague! I'm just sorry that my children had to witness such a shockingly unprofessional behavior.
