I have been coming to see Dr. Papadopoulos since I was in high school. I remember always wanting to have my appointments schedule during a weekday so I could leave school early.
I think that actually helped me to become less afraid of going to see the dentist, because at least I was missing class to go there :-) But seeing the dentist actually turned into a good experience, and not just for my teeth!
Dr. Papadopoulos has a really laid back personality and even though the care of my teeth was somewhat lacking, he was never critical of my care. He guilt me a little bit (You kiss your mother with that much plaque on your teeth?, he'd ask), but if anything, it was motivating.
He always encourage me to spend more time flossing and even supplied be with what seemed at the time like a lifetime supply to flossing picks (Thanks!). Since I've been coming here I have yet to have a cavity and with my cleanings, I always leave with a bright, white(ish) smile.
