The hygienist saw that the device that sucks up the saliva was not working. I don't know why it was not working right, perhaps she did not have it placed right. All I know is that she then took it out of my mouth and pointed it to my lips and told me to suck and swallow I might have ridiculously complied once, but certainly when she asked me to do it a second time, I said I am NOT sucking and swallowing!!! She got annoyed. When I told the dentist Dr. Patel about this he found absolutely nothing wrong with what happened, at which point I told him a couple of other things I found strange with his office. He said ok, fine, you can find another dentist. And by the way, the hygienist also told me that the area on the back of my lower front teeth that I was concerned with that had plaque that need to be scrapped off was just my teeth that had a rough area When I found another dentist, they cleaned that plaque off, nice and smooth.

A very unprofessional doctor. Does not inform patients about what he is going to do. Does not want to do small jobs. And besides, a dishonest person. Do not use his services under any circumstances.
