I went to this dentist today and to be honest I’ve never had a cleaning done in my life I was pretty nervous and I have autism and horrible anxiety and a fear of gagging. The people here are really nice kind and patient , very understanding . I didn’t gag at all and was actually calmer than I expected . Usually when I get really anxious I feel like my throat closes up and I panic but none of that happened because I felt comfortable. The xray is super quick and painless. I got a deep scale and root cleaning which wasn’t so bad , and then I had one cavity filling. I had doctor schulte and she was very kind and patient. If you have anxiety they will answer your questions

I always have a great experience at this dentist office. I honestly commute to this location, and it’s worth the mileage. The staff are all so courteous, proactive, and helpful. Adriana is a wonderful dental assistant — she’s so good at communicating what she’s doing next and she’s also personable. Dr. Oates is attentive to any concerns you may have.

My husband and I were visiting family in HB when he had a had toothache. They got him in for a same day appointment. Dr. Kuehl was very kind and reassuring. They also took our insurance. Highly recommend this dental office.

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
