Oak Lawn IL Real Estate News

I swear my Mom took us to a quack while we were growing up in Blue Island.  I never realized dentists x-rayed your teeth because Dr. Quack never did.  I guess if he couldn’t see problems with his eyes, they didn’t exist.  We didn’t know any better.

There was a period where I didn’t go to the dentist at all (in my 20’s).  When I got pregnant with my first child I had a toothache, followed by another.  I didn’t know where to go and a friend suggested a dentist in Oak Lawn.  He worked on four molars that were very bad and I swear he came at me with the Novocaine shot like a knife.  The pain was so bad I shook when I had an appointment and I was crying and complaining to my husband, who told me to visit his dentist, Dr. Antonacci from Hometown Dental.

What a difference!  He used a cotton thingy to numb my gums before the Novocaine shot.  He had a great personality.  I ended up getting a lot of dental work and finally made my twice a year appointments.

I was as happy as I could be regarding a dentist.  And then he retired (either he looks very young or retired early).  I was depressed.  Now I’d have to start over again.  I stopped going because although he had a replacement I didn’t want to try a new dentist again.

And then I must have had a problem and ended up setting an appointment with Dr. Pappas.  Wish I hadn’t waited!   He’s youngand fun and knows his stuff (he’s not too young, he’s married with four young sons).  Because I once again had work done with crowns and a cavity, I got to know him as there was a time I was getting work done where I had to come back every week for a while.

My husband used to live in Orland Park so he kept his Orland Park dentist.  I kept trying to get him to switch to Dr. Pappas of Hometown Dental Care.  Then I got a glimpse of Dr. Pappas’ new partner, Mischa J. Ivetich, DDS.  I knew hubby would like her and I told him about her to lure him to make the switch.

He made his first appointment and when he returned home he said, “You told me she’s a 10.”  I said, “I think she’s pretty.”  He replied, “She’s an 11!”  Needless to say, she is now his dentist.  I always request Angie to do my cleanings.

So if you’re looking for a great dentist call Hometown Dental care at 708-424-8110.  They are located at 4084 Southwest Highway, Hometown, IL  60456
