I found Daniel Charlton at Del Mar View Dental Care after a bad experience with another dentist. I recently told them they were priceless - and I meant it.

When you walk in, you are greeted by an immediate sense of quality. The greeting staff is always warm, friendly, polite and accommodating and you are surrounded by an environment that was obviously carefully designed to be peaceful and serene. There is internet access, a plethora of magazines and coffee while you wait - which is never long. This dentist is on time.

I think that the cleaning area is actually called the ‘cleaning spa’ or something similar and it most certainly does have a spa feel to it. Although the equipment is state of the art, clean and sterile, there is nothing sterile feeling about the experience. The dental hygienists are knowledgeable, caring and gentle. You can even watch a dvd while…

Last week, my nine year old son broke his two front teeth in a skateboarding accident. We took him to the ER to make sure nothing else was broken or damaged. We were instructed to follow up with a dentist the next morning.

He was taken off of his step father’s insurance in January so I put him on Medi-Cal. That, however, meant that his old dentist, who I love, (not PERSONALLY love.. just.. professionally love.) (As a client.) (not like a client who is also a stalker. Just a client.) (Not even one who remotely loves her dentist affectionately.) (But his work? I would marry it.) wouldn’t be covered under Denti-Cal so I had to find him a new one.

The following are my own personal first hand experiences with these dentists. Your mileage may vary.
