Why People Love Roots Dental
I wasn’t an existing patient. I used the text service on their website. Not only did I get a next day emergency appointment, everything they needed information wise was entered online. So easy. My tooth was extracted that appointment. It was the easiest tooth extraction I’ve ever had.
Dr. Clarkman and his team were able to get me in on short notice for a dental emergency. I was in excruciating pain and they took care great care of me. I’m a total wuss when I go to the dentist, but I’ll be definitely be coming back here for all my dental needs. Highly recommended!
