Here’s what I REALLY think
Instead of boring you with another bunch of information about dental stuff, I though I would tell you a little about me and how I approach life and work.
I am a dentist, but I TOTALLY understand that most people HATE going to the dentist. It’s a very uncomfortable situation, painful, time-consuming and expensive. I Really understand that it takes a huge leap of faith to let a total stranger put their hands in your mouth and poke you with sharp objects not to mention drill on your teeth while you’re totally awake.
In this world of fast online services and instant gratification, dentistry is still one of those areas where you actually have to physically go there, sit down, talk to someone face to face and let them touch you in a very personal way. It can be overwhelming.
I just want to let you know if you’re reading this that I appreciate the trust people put in me and I feel lucky to be in this profession. I don’t feel entitled and I don’t think you should listen to everything I say. I know that you come to the dentist to resolve a problem and I want to help you get to your goal, whatever that may be.
So thanks for reading this. I’m working on adding more pictures, videos, etc.. to make this blog more exciting. Please let me know your feedback.

I like the way you introduse your profession, because whebn I read that you are a “dentist”, the first thought in my head was: ” I hate dentists…”, but when I read that you know that felt somehow stupid, because it is not dentist s I hate, but pain…
Thanks for the comment. Sometimes we forget that we are dealing with people and not just teeth. It’s all about your rapport with the person who is your dentist. If you like them, you won’t hate going to the dentist so much.
Off all health professionals, dentists are some of the most disliked and associated with only unpleasant experiences. This is so wrong, as dentists are the people who help us have the best smile and save us so much discomfort whenever we have a problem!
That’s true, there’s a lot of negative feelings about going to the dentist. That’s why I just wanted everyone to know that I GET IT. I KNOW it’s not easy, comfortable or cheap, so I appreciate the trust and the time you give me.
