I am new to this practice and I am totally blown away with the kindness, professionalism, and just a great job. I had a tooth extracted today and I was scared to death. I will say I never felt any discomfort or pain from the procedure. Dr. Hicklin was awesome as was his dental assistant. I felt a couple of pats on my shoulder that was so kind. Grateful to have found this practice Can’t believe 6 months have passed, back for a cleaning. How fortunate I am to have found a great dental practice just being in Columbia a short time.

If you want EXCELLENT care and service, Family Dental Health of Forest Drive is the place to go to. I am 74 years old and have been to many Dental offices in my life, none has taken care of this mouth like them!!! The service they provided for me was second to none, I needed my bridge replaced because I had a tooth a tooth removed, and my old bridge would not fit, they built me a new bridge (prefect fit), nuff said!!! Once again, I had a dental emergency and Family Dental Health was there for me, I had a tooth come loose, walked in (without an appointment) they found a way to squeeze me in to temporarily fix the tooth. I have used them numerous times, and they NEVER fail to deliver, they treat their patients with respect, and their dentist are second to NONE, If u want professional care and people who know how to make you comfortable, Family Dental Health is the way to go.
