At my wits end! Or,,,so I thought.I gave few too many dentists in Sebring area tries. My hope was running low. I kept hearing this ONE name, but always ended with “yet shes all the way in Okeechobee.” I decided to give that ONE name and that drive to Okeechobee a chance. I must simply say, you walk in and feel like you’re at a mini Ritz Carlton. I was spoken to in a manner with such gentle, concentrated intelligence. I’ve never waited more than 10 minutes to have a smiling face invite me in as if I’m a long lost friend that hasn’t visited in awhile. Lastly, and most importantly, the best part is to see Dr. Laskeys relieving smile, and recognition, along with her bright and brilliant attention to any meticulous mission. I’ve never felt restless, uneasy, or fearful in her and her teams hands. They make you feel part of their family and I’ve never once left unsatisfied with the impeccable work and even the pricing. I’m delighted I took that short peaceful drive to Okeechobee.
Went in for a root canal, on lower rear molar. Procedure was done, tooth was fitted with temp crown.
Was in a fair amount of pain still and was also sensitive to cold.
When I called the emergency number was called back and told to wait til Tuesday. Sunday came and the pain was worse so I called and was told they could see me on Monday. I went in and Lasky sprayed water and air on my tooth and asked if it was painful, which after a few seconds the cold got to the root and the pain started. Her nurse said “there is still nerve”. So Dr. Lasky scanned me, showed me my scan and said I had a cracked root which was causing a void and the tooth was not salvageable.
So I reluctantly agreed to extraction.
I had a feelimg something was wrong, and after she struggled for a long time to pull the tooth it came free. I asked to keep it and have since cleaned it throughly and checked with a light to ensure it wasnt cracked at all meanwhile she placed a bone graft in the socket and sewed it up. I went home and started having bite problems, my teeth kept hitting in strange places when I would bite. So Dr
Lasky then adjusted my teeth after which I was sent home and still had bite issues, it was then I discovered little flecks of bone were getting caught in my bite which was the bone graft material coming out. She probably should have known to check for this. I was given ZERO afrer care instructions which may have contributed to the fact that three days later the stitches fell out and the graft material was gone.
Now I have a dry socket, I can see my jaw bone. I am in tremendous pain, I can barely chew as this was my predominant side to chew on. And without the bone graft I dont know how many months away from and expensive implant I am, considering I will likely have to heal then have another bone graft attempted.
I feel as though I have been sentenced to months of discomfort due to negligence.
Most dentists will text or call after a root canal or extraction to check on you, I was never contacted. My mother in law had a similar situation there and Dr. Lasky did check on her. Odd.

Dr. Davis is great! he is very friendly and very gentle, he makes sure that you are comfortable and tells you step by step what he is doing so there are no surprises. I recently had a wisdom tooth removed by Davis (which requires shots in the roof of your mouth) and I didnt feel a thing! Very professional and genuinely cares about his patients

I started going to Dr. Davis about 30 yesrs ago or more. He was so informative and carimg. He always bragged ro everyone about what good teeth I have . I went to him for my annual cleanings. Never had a cavity. The past few years I have had Dr Laskey (his daughter) as my dentist. She is just as caring and as gentle as Dr Davis. I am so fortunate to have such wonderful dentists. I proudly tell everyone who I go to. To this day I still have my natural teeth.
They are absolutely the best!! Always a warm welcome every time I go and they always make sure that I’m at ease and comfortable. I would recommend to everyone with out a doubt, they are amazing! 🙂
