"I have a dentist appointment. Don’t you envy me?”

Almost every day, every dentist hears “I’d rather be anywhere else but sitting in this dental chair!” Why do we hear that? For the most part, people don’t trust and they are afraid of dentists. This probably stems from a bad experience early in their life; a previous circumstance that left a bad taste in their mouth (all puns intended). Perhaps another dentist was insensitive to their needs and wounded them emotionally. Maybe the dentist had their own agenda and they didn’t pay attention to their client. It could be the dentist just didn’t listen or respect what you were saying and feeling. Because of any or all of these reasons,
we want to work extra hard to earn your trust.
Together we will work to develop a plan tailored just to you.
We always ask permission to proceed with anything, even the examination. You always know what we are going to do before anything is started. This is how we see it. Our job is to examine you and to explain to you what the very best of modern dentistry has to offer. Your job is to tell us what you want to do and when you want to do it. You are always in control. There are never any surprises.
Putting your trust and ensuring your smile to someone is a big step. After all, it’s your dental health we are talking about. You want a dentist that knows what he’s doing. A dentist who listens to your concerns and pays attention, a dentist you feel good about coming back to see again.

Like my son does; dentists have to put more emphasis on general health, instead of just oral health today...
