HORRIBLE DENTIST

Dr. Tracy Van Blargen installed a crown improperly and left a 1/16" gap between the crown and the base of the tooth. The gap leaked bacteria into my sinus cavity and mouth and created a food trap - a place for bacteria to thrive. At one point, I asked Dr. Tracy Van Blargen if that was normal, he responded, It wasn't a problem. About a year later, he gave me a bottle of Herbal Antiseptic and an applicator, so I could spray Herbal Antiseptic into the gap to get rid of the nasty odors.

Eventually, I thought I was going to die. I became so sick from all of the bacteria in my system; I was unable to sleep at night. My immune system was on over-load trying to get rid of the bacteria. Finally, I got new dentist, who installed a new crown correctly. After the new crown was installed, it took about a month for my immune system to normalize. Finally, I was able to get some sleep.

At one point, my friends and family were very scared; they didn't think I was going to make it. (They thought I was going to die and I looked like it)

The results of this very poor dental care and the necessary treatments are listed below:

Injuries Treatments

* extremely nauseated antihistamines and allergy medicine
* root exposure sensitivity tooth paste
* infected sinus cavity antibiotics and flushing
* infected skin steroid cream
* infected gums antibiotics below the gum line
* severe bone loss nothing can be done
* scars on the face nothing can be done

The bacteria emanating from the gap between the crown and the base of the tooth infected my sinus cavity and jaw, eventually causing the deterioration of my jaw bone down to 1/8" from my sinus cavity.

When the tooth was pulled, the poison/bacteria that was dumped into my mouth severely scarred my face. I ended up with acute dermatitis; which is where the skin is infected and I had to apply a steroid cream. Also, the gums were infected and I had to have antibiotics inserted into the gums and had to take antibiotics for the infected sinus cavity - total disaster.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS ! ! !

I brought my daughter to Dr. Van Blargen for her first visit to the dentist. She had such a wonderful and positive experience. RJ did an excellent job cleaning her teeth. We will definitely be back!

This is a great, friendly, dental office. Family owned and very personal. I've always had a great experience here.

Great staff! I love the experience very gentle & kind, very respectful and soft inside the mouth.

I feel free to ask questions about the health of my mouth. Aways quite in the office. Always on time with appointments.

As usual, Cindy did a through and excellent job of cleaning my teeth, and everyone that I come into contact with during the visit was extremely helpful and pleasant.

RJ always does a fantastic job! Food tastes better again for the next six months...

I was very well taken care of at Island Vista Dental!
