00:00:05.292 --> 00:00:10.000 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.
