As a father of three boys, I understand how scary it can be to go to the dentist. One of my favorite moments was when my 7 year old nephew had to have a filling done. He was very nervous but we talked about sports and I watched him calm down and handle the procedure like a champ! It was a really great moment because I know I had earned his trust. It is really rewarding to reduce the anxieties of my patients, and being able to empathize with how they feel makes me a better dentist and partner in their health.
