Visits to the dentist have always been traumatizing for me. When I finally found one I liked I stayed with him until he retired. It took me six years and several different dentists later to find Dr Hanchett. It was pure luck but a total blessing. He's extremely thoughtful and gentle and always lets me know what he's doing so that I don't have to be freaked out by imagining something worse. My stupid jaw locks easily, and he knows this, so he always lets me rest it to try to keep it from locking when he's doing work. I love his assistants too, and I love that I finally found a dentist that I don't dread having to visit :-)
