Re: Dentist/periodontist for dental-phobe teen
I am a fellow dental phobe and in fact missed seeing the dentist for 15 years before being forced to go for obvious reasons. Josh Bernstein 510- 601- smile in Piedmont was amazing I started there with heavy drugs and tremendous amounts of kindness and reassurance. I literally had to be medicated to walk into the office. With his help and understanding I recently was fully conscious while he filled a cavity. It was absolutely painless both before and after. I don't think you will find a more understanding and gentler office. Good luck I hope you too find dental happiness. Anon Anon

RE: Strong anxiety about dental work (May 2005)
I chose Dr. Joshua Bernstein, in Berkeley after reading a 1997 posting here. He bills himself in some places as a cosmetic dentist and in others as a anxiety dentist (my need; it had been years since a failed root canal episode in Tennessee launched a much-too-long non-dental period). He uses Triazalom, a very low risk and powerful sedative, which produces a deep sleep in which one can still respond to requests. I had the equivalent of 12 separate visits in three literally pain-free 4-hour sessions (root planing, repairs, all manner of stuff). Not cheap, but my was it worth it to me.

For the person in search of a dentist who accepts Delta Dental: My husband and I are both very happy with the work of Joshua Bernstein on Channing in Berkeley. He and his staff are all incredibly friendly and gentle, and I am confident that our 19 month old son is going to love him too.
