As with any change, finding the right dentist can be frustrating.  We have found patients enter the dental office with some level of FUD.  Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.  Fear of the dental experience from past experiences or from stories heard of other’s experiences. Uncertain of what is possible to address their concerns and desires.  And they may have some doubt of the existence of disease or their role in their oral/systemic health.  The purpose of my office, or any health professional, is to guide patients, towards TAO, the Trust, Appreciation, and Ownership of their health and dental options.  I align the dualities this way: Fear – Trust, Uncertainty – Appreciation, Doubt – Ownership. Trust comes from shared experiences of expectations being met or exceeded.  Agreements are honored.  Appreciation occurs as we are able to connect what matters to our  patients with the services we can provide them.  Ownership is realized as the patient is invited in to the process, and allowed to have procedures done for them, not to them, that they have chosen aligned with their desired healthy outcomes.  People will chose health, their self preservation, if given the choice.
