Peninsula Community Health Services - Port Orchard Dental Clinic

"Update: The tooth I was in the emergency appointment for months for (that they said could wait and then proceeded to cancel multiple times on me for) broke in half. I was in so much pain and was now abroad. The dentist in this country was able to see me within two days and were so helpful. I had to have most of the tooth removed and a filling and crown placed. This could’ve been prevented had I had proper care when I needed it. . . I have been trying to get seen for almost a year. I got an emergency appointment a few months back because I told them I’m in a lot of pain. After waiting months for my emergency appointment, the dentist spent less than 10 seconds in my mouth before telling me I’ll be fine until an actual appointment. For reference I have a LOT of cavities (perks of growing up poor) and I’ve been trying to get them all worked on so I won’t be in pain anymore. They have cancelled, rescheduled, cancelled, rescheduled, etc ever since and I haven’t been seen since. The last time they cancelled was a few days before my appointment. I can’t afford to go elsewhere and despite brushing and flossing everyday, my cavities are growing it’s been awful. My other two critiques. The dentist shamed me for my teeth despite not knowing I didn’t have the resources until these past few years to take care of them properly. And I don’t mean telling me bluntly what’s going on with my teeth, I mean actively making me feel bad for it by telling me I wouldn’t be sitting in her chair if I would just brush my teeth (again… I do everyday). And the other additional issue was a woman I kept getting when calling to set up an appointment. She was nice but she would mess up the appointment and end up calling me back multiple times in the following days to fix her error. This alone wouldn’t be the worst, but she also would talk to me about her personal life and the phone calls would end up upwards of 30 minutes entirely because of that. I just found a new cavity and I’m heartbroken that I’ve had this much trouble with something that’s this painful. I just want my teeth to be as healthy as they can be and this experience has been so exhausting.."

"This is where I go for dental. The hygienist is really nice and makes you feel comfortable while you're there. Have always been seen on time . Dentist is very thorough and friendly. Would recommend anyone go there"

"Usually my experience was good until my last appointment. The lady who was doing my teeth. She tells me my teeth are irritated after She scraps with her tool. I brush my teeth before I went they didn't look irritated. Of course my gums are irritated because of the tool she was using. She used a needle to numb my teeth, this is not my first time being at a dentist I know there was a gentle oppion. I was crying the whole time while she was working on my mouth. I've never had a doctor telling me at a certain age the denial work will get more intense until that appointment. I am now afraid to be going to the next dentist appointment. I am usually not afraid but that was a painful experience."

"Same day appointment, dental tech was very friendly, dentist seemed cool & front desk was also very nice edit: come to think about it, they should have provided me much more information. It was my first filling and I had to Google what not to do anf such. I wasn't even sure if i should be brushing it right away. I may have accidentally done things i wasn't supposed to?"
