Do not go to Dr. Roth, under any circumstances.

I’d like to think that I give everyone the benefit of the doubt; negative reviews only reflect people who were angry enough to do something about it, there must be some happy folks out there? WRONG. Unfortunately, I have told my horror story to many folks, and I’ve heard from several other folks who have had similar horrific experiences with Dr. Roth. Please do not go to her for any dental procedures. (I do want to mention that her staff and dental assistants were very sweet and friendly!)

I had several cavities filled from her, several of which hurt painfully (to the point I was only eating soups) for months. I went back several times, sometimes as much as 3 times in a single week, to try to address the pain. They were very quick to schedule me for same day appointments (10+ of them), but I would spend from 30 minutes and over an hour sitting in the waiting room. At most of these appointments, she adjusted my bite. Many bite adjustments were done on teeth that had not been filled – i.e., healthy teeth. This is not standard practice, and healthy teeth should not generally be the ones heavily adjusted. I trusted that she was a dentist and the bite adjustments would eventually make the pain go away, but I was in tears for months.

I eventually gave up and visited another dentist, who did several relatively quick tests to figure out the problem. Turns out, ALL of the fillings Dr. Roth had done had to be replaced, ASAP. The pain I was experiencing had nothing to do with my bite, and everything to do with the fillings, which had not been properly applied and so didn’t create smooth attachments with my teeth. To figure this out literally took biting on a special stick for each of my teeth – the tests took maybe 15 minutes top to discover my problem. These are tests that Dr. Roth never did, or even mentioned. My new dentist told me that sometimes failed attachment happens, but for it to happen to all of my fillings at once was not likely. Dr. Roth had eventually (after much complaining and putting my foot down) replaced one of my fillings with a temporary ‘soothing’ filling, which my new dentist went in to replace only to discover that the filling had been placed on an exposed nerve (that’s why it hurt so much!). so that tooth ended up getting a root canal.

As a final note, Dr. Roth had scheduled me for a wisdom tooth extraction, that would have been performed by herself. I count myself lucky that I left before that happened. My new dentist stressed that they would never perform a wisdom tooth extraction, and referred me to a specialist for the procedure.

In short, Dr. Roth should not be practicing. Despite my constant complaints and visits (many multiple times within a single week), she did not take the proper steps to establish what the problems were and fix the problems she created. Even without her terrible attitude, I wouldn’t wish Dr. Roth on anyone.

Dr. Roth is a very good dentist. My whole family has gone to her for years, and she has taken care of everything from cleanings to fillings and needed extractions. She takes her time and is gentle, answering any questions we might have. We trust her great experience and knowledge. Her staff is wonderful with kids and adults alike.

Best I have ever found. Very professional, caring and thorough. I had several extractions, root planing and fillings. The least painful experience, and very professional. Recommended her to c-workers and friends. The very best!
