Patient Testimonials

I just want to say doctor is wonderful. I feel a thousand percent better after the procedure a couple of days ago, she got rid of the problems that I had and I can’t believe I feel this good. She’s amazing.

Hi, Nancy. Thank you for doing this with me. I’d love to have you share your story with all of our patients.

I’m happy to. Our health journey started about 15, 20 years ago when we started trying to figure out why we just didn’t feel well. And it started with food and we got rid of grains and sugars and then we’ve been getting rid of toxins like the plastic plates and personal care products and everything. But we still just weren’t great. And then about a year and a half ago, we found out our house was covered in mold, so I tried to detox and it just made me deathly ill and the toxins weren’t coming out. So we’ve been searching for a long time and heard about what root canals can do probably six months ago, and thankfully found Dr. Centron and it’s been amazing. I got six or seven crowns out that were just full of mercury. Who knew that Mercury was in your crowns? And I had two root canals out that were probably 40 years old, and they found abscesses and it was a little hard on my mouth, but I felt good. The very next morning I could tell that just all the injection was gone, and it’s just been an amazing week to know that I’m getting healthier and can still go back to eating those good things and just heal, finally, and go with the detox products. Life changing. Thank you so much. Oh, thank you guys. For sure. A blessing.

I had pain in the nerve area, the gum area, and I went to get a consult about it and the dentist that I saw suggested a root canal. I had read in the magazine a new awakenings, natural, natural awakenings that actually there was an article. That’s how I met Dr. It was an article that she had written on root canals and I still have that book. I went back to that book and I read it and I called her for a consult, believe it or not, I think it was about a two weeks difference between the time I got the first consult and looking her up and I began to get annoying to me, of course, but I got some nasal congestion and I thought, what was this? I’m not sick, I’m not coughing. I haven’t been sick. What is this? So apparently I had mucus coming out, expelling, well expelling through my throat.

It never came out of my nose, but maybe a couple of days later I held my head down to pick up something and it wasn’t mucus, but it was a liquid coming out of my nose. I grabbed a piece of paper to wipe my nose and it was a bright yellow, something very odd for me. I’ve never seen that before. And it was kind of watery type substance. So I called the doctor, made an appointment, came in and they did the whole workup on me because I hadn’t been here and in doing the 3D scans that something else I like about Dr. Centron, she has such up to date equipment where had I come to her earlier, I wouldn’t have had to get that consult because those doctors have all those 3D scan type equipment. But when she had the scan done, it showed up that I did have an abscess and it probably was even bigger than the first one.

Not only one abscess, but two abscesses, an abscess that had been on a tooth that was crowned some years ago. So that wasn’t picked up. Maybe it wasn’t there at the time, but it wasn’t picked up, but she got it. So in actuality, she kind of saved my really, because I know that bacteria travels and it’s very dangerous. The brain barrier. The blood barrier. So I’m telling people about my experience, really amazing. It is amazing. So those are the things that brought me here. I’m healing. I’m told I am healing very well, extremely well. I’m told even though I can’t make out what you all are seeing, but if it’s going to help somebody to understand the dangers associated with a root canal to your own research, I read hers, it led to other stuff to read other. So I read, but I trust her as well. This was not my first go around with her, but it wasn’t this type of this big of a deal. This was a big deal for me and very important because she thought the need to deal with it right away. Absolutely. And I did. And I’m grateful that I did and I’m even grateful to know her. Yes, she is the epitome of, what can I say? She’s like royalty in her field. The expertise that she has, again, the machinery that she uses to do the job. It’s like top dog, really. Top dog. And how

Do you feel today?

I feel great.

Have you had that happen again

Or No? I have not had any problems. I haven’t had any problems. And like I said, my post-op visits show that I am healing at a very fast rate. I don’t know if that’s because I’m very healthy. You are. I guess it’s a combination of both and habits, but I’m thankful to have been here to get those services. And I also think that it’s an investment. Yes, I could go to my insurance dentist, but this is a life investment once the difference in what you’re dealing with, even up to the ingredients that are being used. It’s an investment in life. Yeah, you’re welcome. And that’s how I feel about it.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. You’re welcome. I appreciate it.

All right, Chris, it’s your second post-op. After your surgery, how do you feel? What changes have there been? Go ahead. Well, in the last year, I’ve had a reoccurring urinary tract infection. I’ve been urinating blood problem with my bowel movements and the pain has progressed antibiotics and multiple trips to specialists and doctors wasn’t carrying it. And come to find out, I had multiple root canals that were done 10, 15 years ago that were infected and had abscess in my jaw. And thank God I found go natural dentistry because removing the toxic teeth changed my life within two to three days. After having the teeth removed, the infections started to clear up the pain and the inflammation of my gallbladder large intestine.

Well, I was looking for a holistic dentist, so I went on the internet and her name appeared. I’ve had some pretty bad dental work in the past, so I wanted a really good dentist, and I’m glad I came to Dr. Yolanda, even though she far away. But I feel it was worth the trip from Boynton Beach where I lived.

Okay. I just want to say as his wife that has come with him every time he came here, we travel a long distance from Boynton Beach to see Dr. Cintron, and it certainly is worth it. She’s not only a great dentist, she’s a great human being. She’s got the heart and the soul of a saint. So I would say she is good with her work and good inside as well, and I’m very pleased to be here with him. And I love his smile. And now he tells me he’s never going to stop smiling, and that’s fantastic. I’m very happy. And also, I might add, my granddaughter and my grandson are both in the same dental school that Dr. Graduated from in New Jersey, Rutgers.

Well, they graduated first from Rutgers College. My granddaughter already graduated dental school. My grandson is last year of dental school. And I would love to tell you that Dr. Sunshine said she’d be glad to speak to them and give them a few things of advice. That’s why I say she’s a wonderful human being as well. And thank you for my beautiful, handsome husband.

Yeah, I’m very happy with the job done by Dr. Cintron and the denture, which I gotten out. I’ll be smiling more from now on.

Hi, my name is Gary Miller. I’m from The Bahamas and I’m here at Dr. Trons. This is one of the most unbelievable experience that I’ve had in dentistry, in being in a dentist’s office. I grew up in The Bahamas, and my experience with dentistry with going to a dentist’s office has always been a frightening one. If I were to show you my mouth, which I don’t plan to right now, you would see that there’s a lot of spaces, and it’s because during my childhood years, the experience used to be so brutal and frightening. It’s always painful going to a dentist until I was afraid to do it. So I would sit around and wait until things get so bad, until I had to go. I just had an extraction yesterday. And unlike the extractions I know about where you go into a dentist, you go through a lot of pain to have a toot removed, and then you leave spitting blood with a swollen jaw.

I had an extraction yesterday and I didn’t have to take anything for pain. There is no swelling. And the only reason why I didn’t go to Red Lobster was basically because they said not to do it. I followed the doctor’s orders and just had soft stuff. But the experience here has just been unreal. The people are so friendly. You feel the spirit when you walk in and you feel like a celebrity. Your name is on a chart that welcomes you. Your time of your appointment is on it. You’re never waiting for an hour after your appointed time. There’s always a soft thing for you to have, and it’s just so wonderful because you’re greeted with such hospitality. When you come here, it just makes you feel like you’re home. And one of the most notable things that I’ve noticed is that there is never a rush, a rush to get you in the chair and a rush to get you out. It’s almost like it’s an appointment. It’s almost like a love date. And then the experience of having everything looked at so carefully and then bringing you into a viewing room and showing you everything about your amount and telling you about what is needed to be done in your options, and pointing out anything that is potentially really harmful and that needs to be taken care of. Never had that experience. It’s usually your teeth is extracted and you’re gone, and you come back another time and you get your teeth clean and you’re gone.

There’s no Talk about health, how it affects your body and be a bi partner. I didn’t even know I grind my teeth until I came here. So this place, I would recommend it to anyone. It’s just an unbelievable experience and it’s worth every penny that you spend. So this is my take on this place and I just love it. And this is where I would be coming from now on as long as I have tea in my mouth and when I don’t have any tea either, because that’s a good time to come too.

Yes, my name is Flo Miller and I’m from The Bahamas and I’m in the beautiful office of Dr. Cintron in Fort Lauderdale. And this is not my first trip here. I came here a few years ago because I was having absolutely horrible pain, stomach ache, and I saw every doctor and they couldn’t work it out. And I finally came to see her and she found out what was the problem. I had a tooth that was badly infected and that was extracted, and now I’m in perfect condition. I feel great. And what is so wonderful, I was petrified of dentists, and then eventually I came. And the staff as you would just love them, absolutely wonderful people. They make you feel so at home and you’re not afraid anymore, and you never feel rushed. Most dentists, you go on doctors in general, you feel like they’re on a time zone, and here is not that you come in. It’s like family, family and friends. Everyone’s just so nice. Everything is explained to you. So even if you could be like me who don’t know very much about dental work, I came out feeling like, my God, I can now explain what is happening to me. So if you ever think you have a problem, or if you’re having unusual problems that your doctor cannot find out what is wrong, I really would advise you to come and see Dr. Cintron in Fort Lauderdale, and you will never, ever regret it truly and honestly. So why not? I.

My name is John Holtzman. I’m from Highlands Ranch, Colorado, which is just outside of Denver.

My wife and I are very charitably oriented, and one of the representatives for one of the charities that Lisa Court was visiting us and we were talking about our dentistry interests, and he said, oh, I was just in Florida with another associate from our charity, and he had this emergency situation, and there was this doctor. He said, I think her name was Yolanda. He didn’t even know Dr. Cintron’s name. He said she was in Fort Lauderdale and she did this amazing stuff. She is a rare person from my experience, who is clearly interested in everything, constantly learning. She is very competent in so many areas of dentistry. So she not only knows of these areas of dentistry, but she’s able to do this kind of dentistry.

My story really begins with physical health generally. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis about three and a half years ago, and so I pursued a dietary approach to my rheumatoid arthritis. That’s helped, but I continue to want to do better. And so my wife and I have said, well, possibly we understand getting rid of the mercury in your mouth might be of use. So we’ve been looking at that and we went to what they call a bio dentist. The first thing that a bio dentist and that we discovered from Dr. Cintron when we came here. We want to test to see what your body is compatible with, and I was delighted to do this because I have so many sensitivities to stuff, which is part of what arthritis, for me anyway, has to do with.

If you took the maxilla and made that flat, my jaw was like this, and so I could either chew on this side or I’d move over and then I could chew on that side. I would be missing these teeth, but if I had them or even there was a huge gap on the left hand side, mine, it’s all tilted out. So this is pretty amazing that for the first time in my life actually being able to grip on both sides of the jaw, we feel we’ve got a way more, a deeper solution, better quality solution and complete solution in a way that we wouldn’t have had anyplace else.

Hi, my name is Linda Bernstein and I’ve just started seeing Dr. Cintron for the last several months. And I had a situation where I had a crown in my upper molar, and she said the material was very old and toxic, and without knowing, she said it could affect your breast. And I do have a large cyst in that breast, so I felt it was time to remove it. One of the other situations I had … is my pinky on my left hand was aching me so much that I could hardly bend my finger. And when I did bend it, the joint was very stiff. There was a cracking noise. Well, a half hour after she removed the crown, and also there was lots of mercury under the crown and some infection. A half hour later, my finger is painless and it’s moving without any discomfort at all, which was who would think that your pinky on your left hand was relating to your molar tooth on your upper right? So pretty amazing how God made the body work. So I’m just very grateful to Dr. Cintron and all the work she’s doing for me, and God bless her. I.

Hi, my name is Kevin. I live in Panama, and I needed some extensive work done, and I’m only in the state for a short amount of time, and I knew that the amount of work I needed done, I had to go to somebody I really trusted, which is Dr. Cintron, who was referred to me by Karen. And I had extensive amount of work done, many amalgams removed. And the things that I’m most impressed with is that the next morning I could feel there was no discomfort, there was no pain in my mouth with an extensive amount of work. And I’m just so impressed with that. I expected to have something hurt, but nothing. There was no pain, no discomfort, and all of the staff are incredible. I felt like I was just at home getting my teeth worked on. So the level of professionalism is outstanding, and also getting these amalgams removed. I know I’ve been researching this for many, many years, and I know that the act of removing amalgams, you can actually expose yourself to more mercury than the amount that leeches into your body. So I knew it was really important that I have that done by someone who really knew what they were doing. And since I’m only in the states for a short time, I knew I had to go with someone that I trusted, and that’s Dr. Cintron and her staff. So thank you very much. Thank you.

Hello, my name is Bob Alman, and I want to say that Dr. Cintron and the office here, the office staff, and everybody are absolutely excellent. They helped me with some serious problems that were addressed in a manner that I could not be happier with. The ultimate concern is the health of the patient, and that’s what impressed me when I began to research various things with the root canals and so forth. That’s what led me to Dr. Cintron, and I am absolutely thrilled with everybody here and the way they’ve taken care of me.

First of all, let me say that my experience at Dr. Cintron’s dental office has been nothing less than phenomenal. I found her by happenstance. I was looking because I had a TMJ problem that developed, and I went on the internet and it said, free evaluation for TMJ during the month of November. So I said to my husband, let’s go check it out. And then I came to this office. By the time we finished, we went from TMJ to speaking about my entire mouth, and it turned out that I needed major work on my mouth. I’ve been in a dental chair my whole life. I’ve never been with a dentist who’s actually prayed for her patients. I didn’t have any fear of dentists because I’m so used to it. But Dr. Cintron goes over the top. I have never met a more nurturing, loving woman who’s also extremely professional. And as far as I’m concerned, every person that comes through this door can trust God to be treated in a gentle, tender, loving way. They will be prayed for. This is an experience. It’s an experience just to come here. It would be worth it having a cavity to come meet Dr. Cintron. So I just can’t recommend her highly enough, and I’m very, very blessed to call her my friend as well.

Well, for the last few days, we’ve been following a young woman very close to us through an amazing transformation. Local 10 producer Jennifer Benitez was terrified to even get a checkup at the dentist before her whole makeover started. So the next step, surgery, as you might imagine, was very scary. Jen Herrera is here now with more, Not one, but two serious surgical procedures still need to be done. Now, this first one you were about to see allowed Jennifer to be in and out of braces in just six months. Here’s how Hurting too, doesn’t it? If you think of the jawbone as a block of wood or a piece of stone because it’s mostly mineral, then it’s hard to move teeth through a piece of stone. What we’re doing today is going to change the composition of the jawbone from more of a mineral-based bone to more of a water-based bone.

So instead of wearing braces for the average 24 months, a patient can be in and out of them and a quarter of the time. Then we put in some donor graft material so that the teeth have some place to move into. Not only is Dr. Detour performing the Periodontally assisted Osteogenic Orthodontics procedure, but gum surgery too, Eyelids look like they’re getting a little droopy.

Both are painful. So Benitez is sedated in just a few months. Jen went through a lot, and thanks to our dream team of doctors in that time, her mouth got healthy, she had her wisdom teeth pulled, braces put on gum surgery, and next is jaw surgery Because we think that her jaw is just generally out of place. It’s not the right position for it. It’s essentially lopsided and too far back.

Maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Michelle Matu, also points out her midline doesn’t line up. We can see it here. This creates a crooked bite and smile. Oh,

In a healthy, young, professional girl, nobody should have that handicap. It’s a social handicap. Dr. Matoo performs a seven hour surgery at North Broward Medical Center. The procedure to graphic to show works like this, We open up the gum on top of the teeth and we essentially just bring the jaw Down the jaws, then placed in a new spot, making it more functional, and next We make a split along this way. We make a split in front and a split behind. And really what we’re doing is we’re slicing the jaw, we’re slicing it so we can move it either forward or back. And in her situation, we’re going to move it forward. We’re going to put it in the right position that we want. And as you can imagine, recovering from that jaw surgery was by far the toughest part for Benitez. But there are still a few steps to take to turn this one stent phobic into a healthy, smiling young woman. And you guys are going to see the final reveal tomorrow, right here on Local 10 News at noon. Christine, Calvin. Wow. Oh Wow. But Jen, I mean, going back because for folks maybe didn’t see the very first story, the reason that she has so many problems is that she just didn’t go to the dentist for years and years. Right?

Exactly. Jennifer had a real fear of the dentist for 10 years. She didn’t even go for checkup. And it’s not because she didn’t want to or she didn’t care. She had a real fear for it. So not only were we fixing physical things this time around, but we were also really trying to target that and to address that fear. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. And today we are wrapping up a series that for very giving doctors may possible. Now, if you’ve been watching all week long, a producer here at Local 10 has undergone an extreme makeover. For the past eight months, Jennifer Benitez was completely terrified of going to the dentist, and as a result, her health and her teeth suffered. Well, today we’re showing you the new Jennifer, healthier both inside and out two weeks later, and jaw surgery is still taking its toll. Jennifer Benitez is, without a doubt, still swollen, but she’s almost done. Recovery is long and hard. It’s been about two weeks since Jen got her braces off. In the meantime, she’s had regular cleaning. She’s had her teeth bleach. She even had temporary veneers put on. Well, today she gets her real ones.

Veneers is one of the most rewarding and simple steps that somebody can do to kind of beautify their spine. The teeth are filed down and sterilize thoroughly. Bonding glue is used to make sure the thin laminate porcelain shells from Microlab Dental stay put next, the teeth are hit with a UV light and the excess cement is cleaned Off.

I don’t think that she’s going to ever need sedation after this experience because she’s going to be stable and in just maintenance, she’s going to be alright From Dr. Cintron’s office. Benitez’s final stop is here to the Elite group salon in Fort Lauderdale, where creative director and stylist Henry Amador works his magic Since the look is changing so much and that she’s obviously getting a little bit of a softer look now to soften the hair as well. Next, we’re off to makeup. Okay, A blow dry last minute. And finally, the surprising reveal. Oh, that’s a big difference. A big difference is right. We started with somewhat terrified of the dentist with threatening gum disease and major dental Disfigurations. Jennifer Benitez used to take pictures like this. Well, today she is a healthy 28-year-old woman with no reason to hide her smile. And we have to give special thanks once again to our dream team of doctors, Dr. Yolandas Andron, Dr. Deborah Pere, Dr. Nick Detour, and Dr. Michelle Matoo. They were all such a pleasure to work with the past eight months. And if you’d like more information on any or all of these doctors, you can find it at our find out more section on our web channel that’s Local 10.
