Report
Root treated all my front teeth for no reason when i just turned 18 in the 80's. I had no toothache then- nothing. My teeth are ruined now. Ongoing dentistry since then has cost me a fortune. THANKS A BUNCH MR. O' DONNELL!

Report
This is a very friendly practice, Richard will make feel comfortable and keep you well informed of any work needed. I think it is important not to miss regular check ups as this saves more work later. The clinic is modern and provide the very latest dental treatments. I will be getting the latest white fillings soon.
