I avoided the dentist for about 10 years, everything was fine.  I came in with mild pain and was treated.  I was persuaded to begin a long term process of healing my gums.  It turned out to be one of the best things I had ever done.  I didn't  realize how unhealthy my mouth was until it was healed up sensitivity, breath all improved incredibly.  It is all about prevention and the care I have received has been incredible.  I am now sending my employee's here with great results.
