An important concern about the dentists and hygienists at West York Dental, who are certainly competent, is that they added a "mandatory" fluoride service that I had neither requested nor needed. Their incompetence derives from the front desk, where the women are nice but dim. During my visit in October 2016 they neglected to inform me - before even seeing the dentist - that I would be charged an extra $20 for the topical APP FI varnish that I did not want. Even my request for dental records in February 2017 would have been lost in cyberspace were it not for a concerted repeat of the destination email.

You need to be cautious and aware of the amount of X-Rays being taken at this dental office. The ADA suggests every 2 years for bite wings, unless you are a high risk patient and have tooth complaints. Panoramic X-Rays should NOT be taken on children younger then 12 years of age. Their have been studies linked to Panoramic X-Rays taken on Children younger then age 12 that have been at a higher risk of developing a brain tumor called a meningioma. Although Diagnostically useful, X-rays do produce harmful radiation and even though we are exposed to radiation on a daily basis does not mean that it is okay to increase your dose if unnecessary.

This Dental office should be adhering to ADA regulations for the safety of their patients and for the proper care that each individual patient trusts them with. They seem to be more about increasing he bill then patient safety when using X-Rays. Use caution and don't let them try to convince you other wise.

The most gentle of dentists I have ever been to I am so very fortunate that I never have to change dentists ever again
