Had my teeth cleaned today by Jacinda, she made me feel super comfortable and explained everything well. Was very gentle and took into consideration my sensitive teeth while she worked. I also took my two kids to have their teeth cleaned earlier in the week and she was great with them, would recommend anyone to go see Jacinda, take the husband and kids too! Make an appointment!
