Okay I am petrified of the dentist to the point where I will have to be drugged but I need a recommendation since mine has closed his practice. Need someone that can handle wimpy scaredy cats like me:eek:

Anywhere from 30A to Destin will work, broke a tooth yesterday and need it fixed! Have insurance too but I would just like a nice dentist for once that can deal with a drama queen like me.

Thanks!

Tracy

Dr. Ruder at the Lakewood Plaza on 30A near Eastern Lake. 850-231-3736. I've been there for a broken tooth episode. Lab that does great work is also right next door.

Yep Ruder is great! Some of our kids go toady Hencinski in Freeport. She is wonderful and was so good with our son who is deaf AND terrified of dentists AND had a huge cavity. She won my respect that day.

DR FRED Rudder located on 30A is your man. He can do everything and rarely causes any pain. I promise.

I've also had good experiences at Parkway Dental on Back Beach Rd. I've learned to steer clear of the "glam" spa type practices, way over priced in my opinion.

I'm a huge coward when it comes to the dentist too! :eek: I too go to Dr. Ruder. He is a very gentle dentist. I still don't enjoy visits to the dentist, but Dr. Ruder is the best.

Dr. Ruder - as you can see, he does the teeth for most of the Sowallers!

Dr. Ruder is mine and great!

I recommend Dr Ruder, to everyone! In fact, he wasn't in my insurance "provider" network, but, worked it out, so that I could use him!:wub: Call his office (850-231-3736) and ask for Edgar. He'll take great care, of you! Please tell him that Diane Caldwell, highly recommended them! I ALWAYS love to give recognition, where it's due!:wave:

Good point, there's one I wouldn't recommend!

Hint, it's a she!:roll:

I too am horrified of the Dentist. I agree 100% Dr. Ruder is absolutely amazing. Fantastic!!!!!!!!!! You couldn't get better if you were to win the lottery!
