I recently saw a new patient who was petrified to be in the dental chair. I calmly spoke to him, letting him know he was in control and I would stop any time he became uncomfortable. He listened to his iPod while I cleaned his teeth. Although that’s routine here at Donaldson and Guenther, it was new for him and helped him relax a bit. When I was all done he couldn’t believe the difference in how clean his teeth felt and how comfortable he had been. He was very appreciative of my work and caring approach. He said, “My teeth have never felt this great before! Thank you so much.†That just made my day, and this is why I love what I do everyday!
