Comfort Dentistry

As far as misconceptions about going to the dentist, I think people truly believe that there is going to be a lot of pain associated with the procedure. A lot of times that misconception is justified because of experiences that they had when they were younger, particularly people my generation and older. It was a different ball game back then. It's just better now than it used to be. When it comes to regular checkups, they're important because they really do help you to avoid more major problems down the road. A lot of people have a misconception that cavities hurt. The fact is they don't hurt until they become big enough that it's a bigger problem. But if you do come in regularly to have your teeth checked, we can see if you have cavities before they start hurting. They're very easy to fix in most circumstances. We have got some just wonderful hygienists here that are very gentle and they still manage to get your teeth very clean and accomplish what they need to accomplish. In general, you just don't think a lot about just how important your teeth are to your quality of life. But I have seen some true transformations. If you're nervous about going to the dentist, and you have not been for a while, we are here for you. There's not going to be judgment. A lot of times people come in and they act embarrassed because they say it's been decades since they've been in maybe or whatever the time frame is. That's not a concern for us. I mean, we are going to evaluate where your mouth is today, and we're going to listen to you for figure out what your main concerns are and do our best to address those concerns.
