Hi. Try Leslie, who works in two offices: Nathan Kaufman's office off of Solano Avenue
in Berkeley, and Laurie Shepherd's office in Montclair. I've been with her for more than
15 years, and she's great.
Good luck.

At some cleaning visits my gums bleed a bunch, too. And at
other cleanings,... not nearly so much. I think my dentist's
practice is full, but this may help: My gums bleed at cleaning
much less when I brush with a selcus (sp?) while reading in bed
or watching TV (after my regular brushing) at the end of the
day. One doesn't use toothpase or water with the selcus brush
(so you don't need to spit). It is skinny and has just two rows
of bristles. It is for brushing (massaging?) the gum-tooth
interface. I bet you can find one at the store. It really
makes my gums healthier. This made a huge difference in
reducing my gum bleeding, having less pain, and having a better
cleaning experience all around. So in addition to finding a
more gentle hygenist, perhaps this will help your husband also.

Re: Hygienist (Sensitive teeth - prone to bleeding)
Hi.
See Beth Davie. She's an independent hygienist (formally with
Nate Kaufman). She's ON TOP of it and very sensitive/aware of
sensitivity. Puts all the dental blocking goop on before
working and does a major, thorough cleaning for close to an hour.

Do your husband a big favor and get him to Beth Davie to clean
his teeth. Everyone I have sent to Beth comments on how well
taken care of they felt. My whole family sees her.
Beth is also perceptive and intuitive - she has picked up on
why certain things were occurring with my teeth and gums that
the doctor didn't even think of first.
I had dental insurance for a couple years from work and thought
I'd use it just for regular cleanings. I tried three dental
offices on the list over time - awful! - and there was no
comparison. Beth is the best hygienist any of my family has
experienced. She's at 7001 Stockton in El Cerrito.

I am seeking information on the wherabouts of my excellent
hygienist from Nate Kaufman's office. Her name is Beth Davie.
Her skills, both personally and professionally are great. I (and
several other patients) want to find out where she went. Does
any one have any information? We would like to follow her to her
new location.
mww
I just happen to be seeing Beth tomorrow morning for a cleaning.
**Beth is the best dental hygienist ever**
I have seen her for at least 12 years.

I would like to know how to post this recommendation
permanently(for hygienist Beth Davie)
under ''reviews and recommendations''. This is an excellent,
competent, gentle and thorough hygienist. She works within a
dentistry practice, but is happy to see other patients as well. I
have read the posts, but when I go to the permanent ''advice and
health recommendations'' under the heading of hygienists-she is
not listed. I speak for many of her patients who would like to
see her listed under this heading. Pease advise how this is done!
For those of you who are not familiar with he name-Let me tell
you I have never had anyone so caring, detailed and
knowledgeable.You can contact her @ 828-7736.
Philip
P.s.--I thank all of you who emailed me about Beth's
whereabouts-- I have since contacted her and spread the word.
so...if you need a good dental hygienist - Please contact Beth.
I would like to recommend my hygienist of 20+ years. Her name is
Beth, and until recently, she worked at Nate Kaufman's dental
office.
Beth is the very best hygienist I have ever had. I have had
my teeth cleaned by many different people, and am always amazed
at how gentle and thorough she is. She takes care of my WHOLE
mouth and points out areas that should be checked for
cavities,bite problems, etc.
She is interested in in me as a person as well. I highly recommend
her! If you love your dentist and are seeking good dental
hygienist, give her a call. And for those of you who
are trying to find out where she went, her phone numbers is
either 510-828-7736 or 510-581-2864.

My family has been having their teeth cleaned at Nathan Kaufman's dental
office on Ventura near Solano. They have several hygienists working
various hours incl. Saturdays, and often the dentist will peek in. We
were with an HMO and experienced an awful alternative. We dropped the
dental portion of the HMO and now pay out of pocket over at Kaufman's.

I have the greatest hygienist in the world (unless you ask my husband, who
claims he
does)! I see Leslie at Nate Kaufman's office, at 901 Ventura (off Solano
Avenue),
actually in Albany (and I "commute" from north Oakland). The number is
526-1757.
I've been seeing Leslie since the mid-80's. She is extremely thorough and
she's also
delightful and funny. In the same office, my husband swears that Beth is
the best.
Since Beth doesn't take as long to clean, I don't believe him. I actually
tried going
elsewhere (as in much closer to home) and hated it so much I went to see
Leslie as
soon as she had an opening, to get a "real" cleaning! We like Nate a lot,
too, and
Kathleen in the front office is also terrific.
Cary
I have had the same hygienist for many years. Her name is Diane and she
works two days a week for the dentists on Gilman St. by Toots Sweet. The
dentists are Broderson, Kurtz and Rotman.
I really like her, she has a nice chairside manner and I think she teaches
dental hygienists as well.

I strongly recommend my dental hygenist, Pam, who works in the practice of
Mark Kay on Solano in Berkeley. She always does a fine, unpainful job on
my teeth and is the sweetest, funnest person.

There is a great dental hygienist named Acquanetta Noel that works at Dr.
DeVigal, DDS located at 917 The Alameda, Berkeley (510)525-2266.
Cornelia
I can recommend Dr. Blaine Honda and Roger Ota's office. The dental
hgienists are gentle and thorough. It's been a painless experience. Best
of all, there is no condescending lecture about one's ineptitude at
flossing or brushing.
They are located at 2020 Hearst Ave. (510) 841-0662.
