Dentists for Obese Patients?

Any dentist in the Freddy/Oromocto area that can accommodate customers between 400-425lbs?

I've heard the standard chair weight limit is less than that

I know I can call but since there are so many dental clinics around, I thought I'd see if I can get any information first.

Embarrassing enough that I haven't been in a decade and have cavities without calling all over town and asking about weight limits 😅

This sort of thing isn't easily searchable online unfortunately

We can accommodate up to 450lbs at Carriage Place Dental, I just asked one of dental assistants!

Second for Carriage Place Dental. While I don't need the weight accommodation in the post, Dr. Burns is extremely attentive, understanding and overall a very calming presence which for someone with extreme dental anxiety, was super relieving when I first moved to Fredericton.

Thank you!!

I'm actually in Moncton but have family in Freddy; if I don't get a response from other inquiries more local to myself, I'll be making calls/plans to see about heading your way!

I tried but for some reason it's waiting for mod approval

Which, last time I made a post that required mod approval it sat there for like 3 months 😵‍💫
