Dental Patients Satisfied, Pain Free, Finds Consumer Reports
Read about dental care in the February issue of Consumer Reports. A survey of the magazine’s readers found they are overwhelmingly satisfied with their dental care. Consumer Reports also found that the most painful of the procedures asked about turned out to be tooth extraction.

The article also discusses overall oral health and offers tips to patients to practice good oral hygiene.
