DO YOU EVER cringe when you watch someone bite into ice cream? Are you sometimes fearful of that first sip of hot soup or drink of tea? You're not alone. Tooth sensitivity is one of the most common complaints we hear about! On the outside of each tooth is a protective layer of enamel. Over time, the enamel can wear away leaving an inner layer, called the dentin, exposed.
WE TALK A LOT ABOUT what you need to do to keep those teeth of yours healthy and beautiful. While you're taking care of your smile, don't forget about your pet's! Your furry friend's teeth need to be cared for as well. You probably don't think about checking your dog or cat's mouth very often, but it's important that you do.
THE CDC REPORTS THAT 1 in 5 children (between ages 5 and 11) in the US have untreated tooth decay. Not only should tooth decay be treated in regular dental appointments, it should be prevented! Tooth decay is 100 percent preventable with effective personal care and regular dental cleanings. In honor of Children's Dental Health Month, we're spreading the word about children's dental health. Encourage them to brush for two full minutes: Pick a song about two minutes long and sing it to them during brushing time.
While we don't know the exact beginnings of flossing, it looks like as long as food has been getting stuck in our teeth, we've used some type of interdental cleaner. Discoveries have been made that suggest cleaning between teeth was practiced as early as the Prehistoric period! Did you know that even some species of monkeys practice flossing?

Upselling. Like a few other reviewers, I was shocked when I received my bill. I went in for a cleaning. The tech asked if she could do various things, and I thought she was just being polite and letting me know what she was preparing to do before doing it. I was unaware that each thing would be a separate charge. When I left, I was a little shocked to be charged over $300.
No big deal I thought, once my insurance takes care of their end, I'll be refunded most if not all. I was wrong. That $300 I paid was AFTER they billed my insurance over $1000 for things I didn't even realize I was being charged for. My advice, other than going elsewhere, is to ask them everything they plan on billing you for before they do any work on you and repeatedly during the procedure. If they politely ask "Do you mind if I inspect your gums?", that really means they poke around for 30 seconds then add another charge of your bill.

I went in over 2 years ago, the first time I went in I felt every pain of my root canal, I came back maybe 2 weeks after she said she got the infection out. My tooth is now black and rotting because the problem was not solved. Now it is on my credit, that I will not be paying because the problem was not resolved.

Beware. I had a horrible experience at this office and agree with what another said about up-selling and trying to get you in the door. We received a flyer in the mail for free teeth whitening upon cleaning and x rays. I called to see if they accepted my insurance and to make sure I could use the coupon with insurance. Terry told me they accepted my insurance and I was in network.
I once again verified this before my appointment while she was in the phone with my insurance company. She told me yes we are all good, you are in network. Once I went back, it was all about upselling. I told Dr. Paulus I was concerned about receiving a bill, she said "looks like you're in network and you won't owe anything today". I was okay with having x rays and expected them, but the dentist said in order to use the coupon, you will have to have 16 x rays done.
I expressed concern as it seemed excessive and said I have never been asked to do that many. I felt cornered and bullied into it. During the xrays no thyroid protection was given for radiation. I'm worried about the radiation exposure to my thyroid. To top things off, I received a bill for $331 AFTER insurance had paid for my exam. It felt very fragile by here and they are doing whatever they can to shark people in.
After meeting with Dr. Paulus she decreased my bill down to $100. I was too tired to keep fighting so I agreed to pay the $100 even thought I should not have owed anything. Definitely scamming people.

Dr. Paulus is one of the best dentist I have seen. She is comforting & patient. She provides lots of infortmation about whatever procedure you're getting done! She has several different payment options & is more than willing too work with you financially. (She accepts some insurance.) I got an extraction done when I seen her. She made sure I was completely numb before starting my procedure, stopped if I felt anything besides pressure & finished quickly. Afterwards she uplifted my spirits with positive comments & made sure I was comfortable before she left out.
I'm 18 weeks pregnant & she is who my OBGYN recommended. I will definitely be going back if need be! Overall my first experience was awesome! Staff is great & super helpful as well!

As someone who suffers from extreme anxiety about dental visits I must say that Dr Anita Paulus and her staff are awesome. They are personable, friendly and very caring. She immediate puts you at ease, and does everything in her power to make sure you're comfortable and pain free. If you're looking for a dentist that really cares, Dr Paulus is the one for you.

Not only do I have dental anxiety and sensitive teeth, I'm extremely hard to get numb. I've sat for two rounds of multiple fillings with Dr. Anita Paulus, and she has been nothing short of a saint. She's incredibly patient and kind, but also works quickly and efficiently. I would recommend her to anyone with any dental anxiety or pain management issues. Thanks Dr. Paulus & staff!

While Dr. Paulus is very nice and personable, when it comes to business she does find every possible way to get an extra dollar though. I needed immediate work done on a couple of root canals and since she is so outrageously priced, I had to pay over 2k for 2 root canals that didn't even get crowns put on. I basically paid just to get the decay out and a filler. One of the tooth's that I had worked on is infected now, I refuse to go back to her and get it "re-fixed".

I recently, move to Fort Worth from Dallas and I was in search of a new dentist. I live on the West side of Fort Worth and wanted to find an office that was located near. I found Paulus Dentist and Paulus orthodontist office. The service has been first class, the office staff is very nice, helpful, and friendly. Dr. Paulus has gone out of her way to provide top-notch service. I would recommend this office if you are in search of dental care.

I have been going to Dr. Paulus for almost 8 years. It started when I was in 8th grade and he put on my braces and I saw him at least once a month for two years. He has always been so kind and a great orthodontist. If something is uncomfortable with your braces or retainer he actually listens and will fix it (if he can, sometimes your teeth need and extra push!).
His staff has ALWAYS been so friendly and professional all 8 years. I now live and San Diego and have broken my retainer twice since moving and I will only go to him to have it fixed. He is THAT good.

A truly awesome dental team! A while ago when still living in Fort Worth had an after hours dental emergency. That day had some really yummy popcorn but one little fragment somehow into my gum. After only a few hours there was extensive swelling and pulsating on the left side of my face. Contacted Dr. Anita Paulus and she told me to come in ASAP. She did extensive work including a crown. I was truly a hurt "puppy"! Thank you for your awesome customer service!

I have nothing but positive feedback for Paulus Dental. We found Paulus Dental while searching for an orthodontist for my daughter to get braces. When I scheduled our first consultation, they were able to get me in that week. The second appointment, I called that morning as I was driving in to work, and they were able to schedule us that afternoon! Shaunda was such a delight and she greeted us with a smile and a hello as soon as we walked into the door, which is the first thing that I determine when making our choice, the customer service.
She was so informative of everything I needed to know, I didn't have to ask any questions at all. She worked with me on a payment plan, we worked out 3 different options, which made me really happy! During the consultation, Dr. Paulus told us everything he was going to do and the timeline of it and it was to the point and we were done. Very nice. We waited less than 5 minutes in our first appointment and then there was no wait on our 2nd. Love this place! I'm so glad we chose Paulus Dental!
