Jersey City ranks #7 in the worst cities for teeth.  I blame it (at least in part) on the lack of fluorination of water.

Your Brit compatriot and my dear husband had a lot to complain about when I sent him to my dental hygienist at NYU. He prefers the dentist (Christopher Karydes?) at North Mountain Dental in Montclair. He calls him and his crew completely humane and has seen them more than once completely of his own accord.

My fiancee really likes Dr Lustiger down at Harborside, right near the PATH.

I am very much in the same boat as you, Sosh.  I am trying to set up an appointment with Lustiger for sometime next week.

Lustibugger sounds like he looks like Ernest Borgnine!

If you don't mind the drive to Clifton, my dentist is great.

Dr. James Fisher D.M.D.
Notchview Dental Group

He's really good with people who haven't been to the dentist in a long time.

Looks good Pinky but I shy away from dentists who claim to have been on Entertainment Tonight on their websites.  Also, what do you mean "My situation"?  It's not like I have green teeth or a mouth covered in herpes sores!!!!!   

I have a loose filling and probably need a few new ones but that's about it!

I felt the same way at first, best cleaning I ever had, and when I  had a filling from childhood that fell out they recommended me doing a porcelain inlay since the standard type filling wouldn't hold. This is about 1000.00 my insurance company said no and a crown was better, the dentist basically told the insurance company that he refuses to remove a healthy tooth and whatever they did...my insurance company covered it. They are a very modern office and use most state of the art tools. Again best cleanings I've ever had, so far everyone who has gone to them, keep going back!

BTW
I am not saying you have coodies, I gave you a very good recommendation for a dentist, when you said you haven't gone in ten years, so that is the "situation" I speak of. So, do what you want with it!

Sosh,

For your situation I highly recommend this dental office. The doctor has an office in NYC also. Dr. Lapine (sp) is excellent...

Okay so after more than 10 years and with plaque the only thing holding my teeth together I have decided that I need to pay a visit to the dentist.  My commitment to the great British art of bad teeth can only go so far...

Can anybody recommend someone who is proficient in the art of dentistry and who has moved on from the use of the hammer and chisel and a boat hook to something a bit more up-to-date technology-wise. 

Oh and since it has been such a long time and I am petrified of dentists, it would also help if the dentist is nice to look and looks less like Ernest Borgnine in a lab coat.  TIA.
