Shame-Free Dentistry WHY THE BEST DENTAL PROFESSIONALS WILL NEVER MAKE YOU FEEL INADEQUATE
It’s normal to feel the jitters before you head to the dentist.This nervousness is nearly universal, especially for new patients. But if there’s one feeling we don’t want you to ever worry about before making your way into our office, it’s shame. All too often, patients put off going to the dentist because they feel guilty about the condition of their teeth. Maybe they’re worried about being subjected to another lecture on proper flossing or have forgotten to brush for so many days that they feel embarrassed having somebody examine their gums. For someone who is so self-conscious about their smile that they hide it day in and day out, it can be terrifying to imagine a trained professional taking a long, hard look at their teeth. But make no mistake: Dentists are there to help, not humiliate. Any dental professional worth their salt will never, ever make you feel ashamed about your smile. After all, it’s in the best interest of doctor and patient to keep you as comfortable and happy as possible during your visit. Dentists know that the
surest way to keep patients from coming through their doors is to make them feel guilty and inadequate.That’s why those long-winded lectures from down high are largely a thing of the past in the dental field and have been replaced by cooperation and compassion. And if you think your teeth are somehow the worst the dentist will have ever seen, think again. Dentists see hundreds of patients, each with their own struggles and concerns, and many of their conditions are more serious than you can imagine. They’re not about to wag their fingers and judge you. Instead, they’ll do everything they can to restore your confidence and guide you down a proper treatment path to long-term dental health.
Shame is far too common among dental patients, but it doesn’t have to be. Come visit our office and experience what positive, guilt-free dentistry can do for you!
