After turning 40 last year I realized it was time to get my mess of a mouth looked at. I had had a broken tooth last year and hadn't seen a dentist in well over a decade.
I had been avoiding it for a long time based on my old childhood fear of dentists and was truly scared when I made my first appointment.
The staff were very friendly and understanding of my fears. I was happy to hear that I would keep all my original teeth and we started a pretty intense schedule of appointments.
They were very gentle and worked at a my pace. After 3 months, I am a lot more comfortable about opening my mouth, my gums don't bleed when I brush my teeth and I don't even want to kill any of them.
Well done!
