Be careful! These guys will try to convince you that you need a lot of unnecessary dental work using the cheap tooth cleaning to lure you in. This should be illegal!
Went in for the $65 teeth cleaning from the flyer, they said I had 4 cavities and needed $1,200+ worth of work. Worried, I went to my cousin who is a dentist to see if I could maybe get a family discount, and my cousin said that I didn't have any cavities at all!
The hygienist was absolute gold. She was patient and kind, didn't make me feel like I was the worlds largest pain in the butt, soft spoken, and gentle. She stayed with me the whole time. Dr. Knight isn't like any other dentist I've ever met. He doesn't have the attitude like he's better than everyone else, he's super down to earth. I came back this morning at 9am for my extraction. They gave me medicine to take last night and again this morning, something to calm my anxiety, and it worked. I also was given laughing gas and headphones, where an assistant played Prince as loud as I needed so I couldn't hear the tools being used. It was SO much easier than I ever imagined it would be.
So here I was with Dr. Knight again having to have another cap replaced and was very worried about it. Much to my surprise I had a cavity filled and the cap taken off and replaced with a temporary one and left the place with ABSOLUTELY no pain whatsoever. I figured in the morning both areas would probably be hurting however I woke up in the am with NO PAIN.
I walked into the office yesterday and began crying as I told the reception my name. Cried when I was in the exam room. Cried when I had to open my mouth. I'm a crybaby.
This has profoundly changed my fear of going to the dentist. After all these years, I’m starting to realize that how your physician numbs you makes all the difference in the world. I don’t think in general people realize the damage that injections can cause to surrounding tissues. Most of the problems resolve but can take months.
I hadn't been to the dentist in over ten years. One bad experience as a teen, followed by lackluster care as an adult, left me scared to death. I had a bad toothache in my lower back molar and that pain began spreading into my jaw and my ear. I survived for three months on ibuprofen and Tylenol, took up smoking so I wouldn't feel so hungry, and dealt with it. Until I couldn't do it anymore.
Let me add that my son has somehow changed the screen name on my google review thing and I have no clue how to change it back.
His numbing technique is staged and he uses the smallest needles. In the end, I felt absolutely no pain whatsoever and couldn’t believe anything was even injected into me. The beauty of all this beyond the obvious is that I had no idea how traumatic the typical method of injections most dentists employ can be. I had a cap repaired on a molar with my previous dentist that gave me horrific pain for several months. I was so sure it was infected but after going back to the office I was told there was absolutely no sign of infection. I finally concluded that the pain was from consequent trauma in the area caused by the numbing injection affecting the surrounding nerve.
I will now progress in the future without my paralyzingly fear of the entire dental office. I'm 45 years old, and for the first time in my life I feel like I have found a lifelong dental practice. I'm still skittish, but I'm not terrified. That's a huge accomplishment that could not have happened without the help and care of everyone at Eldersburg Commons dental. I highly recommend to anyone with fear of the dentist.
Just had to take the time out to give well deserved positive review about Dr. Ryan Knight DDS, MS in Eldersburg. I recently had to switch dentists due to some changes with my dental insurance. I loved my previous dentist but despite that still hated going for work. I was super reluctant to start seeing a new physician but did not have a choice. One of the things that first caught my attention when I arrived at Dr. Knight’s office was a small picture frame in the waiting area that was awarded to him for high proficiency in clinical care and pain management. I didn’t think much about it at first but after being under his care, I understand the great significance of it.
I went in because I received a flyer in the mail for xrays and a consultation for 1.00. I usually avoid the dentist because I am terrified due to pass experiences. Dr.Knight made me feel extremely comfortable and he was amazing!!
Awesome experience. Highly recommend Ryan Knight and his staff.
Dr. Knight is very knowledgeable, proficient and has an excellent bedside manner. The office is state of the art and the staff is outstanding including the dental hygienists and techs….love Alexa !! The front desk staff is also wonderful as well. I have had an outstanding experience with the Eldersburg Commons Dental Care and feel that we are very lucky to have had them open their practice in Eldersburg
