As far as misconceptions
about going to the dentist,
00:00:10.583 --> 00:00:15.997
I think people truly believe
that there is going to be a lot of pain
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:17.837
associated with the procedure.
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.243
A lot of times
that misconception is justified
00:00:21.326 --> 00:00:24.708
because of experiences
that they had when they were younger,
00:00:24.792 --> 00:00:27.997
particularly people
my generation and older.
00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:30.317
It was a different ball game back then.
00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:32.708
It's just better now than it used to be.
00:00:32.792 --> 00:00:35.542
When it comes to regular checkups,
00:00:35.625 --> 00:00:39.667
they're important
because they really do help you
00:00:39.792 --> 00:00:42.542
to avoid more major problems
down the road.
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.237
A lot of people have
a misconception that cavities hurt.
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:51.583
The fact is they don't hurt
until they become big enough
00:00:51.667 --> 00:00:53.625
that it's a bigger problem.
00:00:53.708 --> 00:00:57.125
But if you do come in regularly
to have your teeth checked,
00:00:57.208 --> 00:01:01.417
we can see if you have cavities
before they start hurting.
00:01:01.875 --> 00:01:05.157
They're very easy to fix
in most circumstances.
00:01:05.240 --> 00:01:09.458
We have got some just wonderful hygienists
here that are very gentle
00:01:09.551 --> 00:01:12.333
and they still manage
to get your teeth very clean
00:01:12.583 --> 00:01:14.833
and accomplish
what they need to accomplish.
00:01:15.292 --> 00:01:19.202
In general, you just don't think a lot
about just how important your teeth are
00:01:19.292 --> 00:01:20.667
to your quality of life.
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.458
But I have seen some true transformations.
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.958
If you're nervous
about going to the dentist,
00:01:26.042 --> 00:01:30.375
and you have not been for a while,
we are here for you.
00:01:30.583 --> 00:01:32.397
There's not going to be judgment.
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.342
A lot of times people come in
and they act embarrassed
00:01:35.425 --> 00:01:38.833
because they say it's been decades
since they've been in maybe
00:01:39.500 --> 00:01:41.875
or whatever the time frame is.
00:01:41.958 --> 00:01:43.917
That's not a concern for us.
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.500
I mean, we are going to evaluate
where your mouth is today,
00:01:48.583 --> 00:01:53.125
and we're going to listen to you
for figure out what your main concerns are
00:01:53.417 --> 00:01:56.997
and do our best to address those concerns.
00:01:57.080 --> 00:02:02.042
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised
at how we're able to take care of you.
