Consumer Comments for Clark, Kathryn Jan

Consumer from SILVER SPRING, MD
Oct 24, 2024

Dr. Clark and her office were very pleasant, and seemingly helpful. However, I went to see Dr. Clark for an orthodontic issue that should be able to be fixed in several months, and I told her that in my mid-sixties, I'm not looking for "perfect teeth", but just "good enough" to fix the problem of not enough room to place some necessary crowns to save my front teeth. Twice, she gave me an estimate of 15-18 months and almost $7,700. I complained about this being too much time and $$$$, and had my dentist talk to her again about what we needed to accomplish. The next estimate was 12 months and almost $4000--still too much time & money. I felt like Dr. Clark's practice wanted to do more orthodontics than I required, to make more money, and this is not acceptable, especially since I am on a low fixed income. I will get a 2nd opinion which I'm sure will be more reasonable.

How to Brush and Floss Properly

You’ll reduce the length of time you have to spend in a dentist’s chair—and drastically reduce the procedures your teeth need—by regularly performing proper routine dental care.

Cavities: How They Form and How to Prevent Them

Throughout recorded history, tooth decay (dental caries) has probably caused more pain than any other infectious disease.

A Summary of Dental Treatment Options

Despite substantial progress in the prevention of caries and gum disease, most Americans’ mouths still bear witness to their ravages. The usual procedures for repairing and replacing teeth have not changed in many years but progress continues on most fronts.

Gum Disease Prevention and Treatment

As more and more teeth withstand the threat of caries, a second type of threat must be confronted: periodontal disease, the disease of the gums, bone, and supporting structures around the teeth.
