I took my 8 year old son to Dr. Gillanders for a second opinion about a tooth that my family dentist wanted to extract. He had a filling put in less than a year ago that was too big and he got an infection. I really didn't want to have the tooth pulled out but after listening to Dr. Gillanders thorough explanation and reassurance, we decided to go ahead. What a great experience! She managed to calm my son down and was able to put in the needle without him seeing it, so he was fine. He was really nervous and worried about the whole thing, but she showed everything to him and explained everything before she did anything. She was very caring and gentle with him and I will definitely be going back again. Yes, it is more expensive, but the whole event was so stress free for both my son and I that I think the extra expense was well worth it!
