I just want to warn people about buying these specials including vouchers online offering services in the city. I bought one for a teeth-cleaning/polishing, and am not a happy customer. It was impossible to get an appointment until I finally contacted the seller of these specials. Then, when the day came, I was directed to the bed with my coat on, and purse between my knees. Finally, I asked if I could take my coat off, which I did. She never introduced herself, not a crack of a smile, no nice small talk—don’t think we exchanged two sentences, except for her to say, “Open,” “close” and “wider.” I held that saliva tube, and she would just put it in my mouth and pull it out as necessary. She did the cleaning, but not flossing, which I’ve always had during a teeth cleaning. Then, next day, part of my tooth fell off. It may not have had anything to do with the session, however. The only thing she told me was that I had a bunch of ‘hair’ in my mouth, and how might that have happened? What?? She may be a nice gal, but I found her to be quite dismissively rude. It was a surreal experience all the way around, and I did report it to said sellers. Honestly, I’d like to give that snobby hygienist a good slug in the jaw. But alas, it’s illegal. I wanted to share this so people will be careful when thinking of purchasing a “great deal.” Cheers. —Unhappy Customer

That sounds like a nasty experience, ob. I wonder if the hygienist’s attitude had anything to do with the voucher you were using…makes me wary, for sure.
You would think that no matter what form of payment, any good hygienist would try to make every patient’s experience a nice one. Going to the dentist is stressful for most people. Not a great way to ascertain repeat visits. I’m sorry you went through this.
Call me crazy, but my hygienist has no idea how (or how much) I pay.
Could it just have been that particular business (which pays for the advertising to give us coupons, btw)?
Just because they pay to advertise doesn’t mean they’re any good. In fact, often the opposite – if they had a good reputation, they wouldn’t have to advertise…
I love going to the dentist. I have the most beautiful hygienist in town! It’s pretty much an hour long flirt session with a free teeth cleaning. I willing pay, coupon or no
This inquiring mind wants to KNOW ?!?!?!?
WHy were there so many hairs in your teeth ?
WHat type of hairs were they ~:o
Holy fuck, OB, did you expect the hygienist to pat you on the head, wipe your ass, and give you a fucking foot massage too? Yeesh. What a stupid complainer.
and this inquiring mind wants to know how one flirts with a person who has her fingers, sharp pointy metal objects and a water hose in your mouth? are ya waggling your toes suggestively?
and the hair from OP, oh yeah. what’s with the hair? and why would you reveal something like that to the public?
Your complaint is about an individual, I don’t think it has naything to do with online offers and discounts.
I’d be a little weary of a dental office that is offering a deal on teeth cleaning … I’ve never heard of such a thing and I’m not exactly shocked that OB’s experience was less than pleasant.
I bet Darth Captain flirts with his eyes and his tongue.
Lolz, Captain, you stud muffin!
The best dental experience I ever had was the emergency clinic at dal. The prof supervising the clinic was freaking hilarious and awesome. I really wish he had a private practice because I’d switch over in a second.
methinks that the hair, might have been of the type found on either pussy or pecker. but even so, she should not have said a word, just shared it with everyone after you.
I can flirt with anything, Persevere. I employ my full repertoire when flirting with this lady; Sly winks, suggestively raised eyebrows, sexy dentist chair dancing, and yes, even scandalous toe waggling… Everything you imagine while lying on your back with a baby’s bib strapped to your chest.
“I had a bunch of ‘hair’ in my mouth”
OP is a humpback whale.
baleen! no wonder the hygienist was distant.
you know, just re-read the OP and noticed she calls it a ‘bed’. Do you think maybe it wasn’t a dental office at all? the whole thing smells fishy/water mammaly. I’m still boggled at the mouth hair though. Even if the whole post is a competitor’s lame attempt to discredit a rival dental office ( how many are offering coupons?) why mention that some other person said you had hair in your mouth? I have to go swish my brain out, getting obsessed by that hair image.
OP – it’s been my experience that if you are anything but fully satisfied the deal companies will refund you. Have you spoken to them? Perhaps if they know you were unhappy they would note that and perhaps not post another deal from those same folks?
Wow, you mean that you got ripped off on the internet? I don’t believe it for a second. The internet personifies everything good, wholesome and honest in todays dignified society.
