What to do about infection (pericoronitis) and a dentist i don't feel comfortable with?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dentist: I am confident that in a city the size of Modesto you can find a dentist that you feel comfortable with. Ask a friend, neighbor, or a co-worker for a referral, and make the call.
