1 /5 Stephen Douhne: Disappointed with Care at Pediatric Dentistry of Chattanooga (Ringgold)
I took my 8-year-old daughter here for a routine cleaning, and I was shocked by the lack of proper care. Instead of using suction to remove the polish and excess material from her mouth, the staff told her to swallow it. Now, she has a stomachache.
When my wife brought this up to the dentist, they dismissed our concerns and said it was fine. This is not the level of care we expect from a pediatric dental office. Swallowing dental polish and debris should not be a standard practice, especially for young children.
We trusted this office with our child’s dental health, but after this experience, we will be reconsidering our options. I hope they take patient concerns more seriously and prioritize proper procedures in the future.
