“the kindest dentist”
Dr. Ludford is the kindest dentist that I have ever been to! I have been seeing him for years. He is realistic and honest. He doesn’t push unnecessary procedures. When putting on a crown today, he tried to warm my crown as much as possible to reduce any sensitivity when he put it on. He also talked through everything he did so nothing surprised me.
