| 2009-11-24 | ann | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | thank you so much for getting back with me :) |
| 2009-11-22 | Chloe | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | |
| 2009-11-19 | Chloe | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you. I think I felt it was nothing, but with kids, I never want to just brush things off without checking. I think the cyst sounds about right and it makes sense. Again, thank you. |
| 2009-11-16 | Josephine | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you Dr. Moss! |
| 2009-11-16 | Jonathan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks. We might see or call a local pediatric dentist to make sure there was no damage to those front teeth. Thanks for the quick response! |
| 2009-11-11 | Sandy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you Dr. Moss, I'll make an appointment first thing tomorrow. Take care & be well. |
| 2009-11-06 | Kim Grett | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for your quick reply. It does help put my mind at ease. |
| 2009-10-31 | Richard | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I'll obviously have to go back and ask more detailed questions about this. The age is correct, so the other info I have been given must have been mistranslated somewhere along the line. That will probably mean I'll have to post a follow-up really soon. Many thanks for prompt and informative reply. Richard |
| 2009-10-26 | Pam | 10 | 10 | 10 | 9 | No | |
| 2009-10-21 | Kristen | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you, Dr. Moss. You have helped put my mind at ease until we are able to see the pediatric dentist! |
| 2009-10-21 | Sam | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanx a ton! You did give an unbiased opinion, because you're never going to get my check for the work, so it's just what I needed to hear. What else can I say but, keep on keepin' on, :). |
| 2009-10-15 | Marilyn | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your response. |
| 2009-10-08 | sweta | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | thank you very much for your response Dr.Moss. thank you for sharing about your son. it is in a way comforting to me. thank you again. Dr.Sweta |
| 2009-10-04 | Lina | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you very much. Iappreciate your advice. |
| 2009-10-03 | Heather | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks again. |
| 2009-10-02 | Heather | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you. Your explanation on resorption was very helpful. I was well aware of the grim prognosis so it didn't shock me. It was pulpectimoy that I was referring too, not root canals as I typed. |
| 2009-09-22 | Corrie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for your advice! |
| 2009-09-18 | Maria | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks Dr Moss. We'll try the wait and see approach you suggested. Thanks also for not making me feel like I was crazy for being concerned about putting an eight month old under a general anesthetic - non-one else thought there was a problem with that! Maria |
| 2009-09-16 | barbara | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | thanks for such a quick response, |
| 2009-08-22 | Bryan Hellum | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you very much Dr. Moss. |
| 2009-08-22 | Devon | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Actually that's very reassuring. You can imagine the guilt I felt there thinking she was being hurt and it was all my fault and I was failing to protect her. I did ask her last night if it hurt getting her teeth out and her answer was no, no, it was fine. She said very clearly that it was 'scary', it was the restraint, not that she was being hurt. And she's fine now, remarkably well so clearly they did need to come out and the abcess is healing. So it's reassuring that we did the right thing and the procedure was as it should have been and not painful, horribly difficult as it was for me to witness and guilt trip over. Thank you. |
| 2009-08-21 | Stacie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | |
| 2009-08-15 | Ebony | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-08-14 | Ruth | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-08-10 | Kayll | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much. I tried the Comet on my lower teeth and the stain came right off. It isn't coming off on the upper teeth, but it's more because I can't rub into far enough. But that stain isn't as noticeable. Thank you!!!!!! Now I have a solution when it isn't as aesthetically appealing. :) |
| 2009-07-27 | Emily | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | |
| 2009-07-25 | Emily | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much |
| 2009-07-24 | gene | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | The response was clear, and reflected a good understanding of the problem. The recommendation seems to be sound advice and makes good sense. Dr Moss was very timely in his answer, and polite as well. |
| 2009-07-24 | Chanon | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you! |
| 2009-07-20 | Deirdre | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. We visited our local dentist and he advised to wait until the milk teeth fall out. Thanks again for putting my mind at ease - I was so worried! Best regards, Deirdre Cully |
