I am a 49yr old mother of 5. Since I was thirteen I averaged 5 to 6 cavities per bi-annual visit. I also wore braces for 8 years. Unfortunately 90% of my experience in the "Chair" was unpleasant at best. I think everyone has at least one Dental Horror story to tell. I have a short Novel full. Therefor over the years I avoided going at all. I only went if a tooth became infected to the point eating was no longer an option. It was then that I found Dr. Melton. I was referred by my Primary Care doctor. What a Godsend !!!!! Dr. Melton is a Dental God. He understands your fears, he explains the procedure your having before beginning and then again as he is performing each step. He treats you like a person not just a mouth. Last but certainly not least, Dr. Melton has Hands of an Angel. I never thought I would ever say this.................. I LOVE MY DENTIST !!!!! Jennifer Elder, Metairie, La.
