What do you say to people about their fear of going to the dentist?
I understand! Going to the dentist is rarely anyone’s favorite thing to do. In fact, my dad has had a fear of going to the dentist almost his entire life and has just recently gotten more comfortable. He has come a long way in terms of managing his fear of dental treatment and his overall oral health. I understand your fears, and am here to help.
