Faith in Dentists Restored

For years I have STRONGLY disliked dentists. They were always too busy. They didn't seem to care for any one person. And they were always the ones to say those dreaded words, "you have a cavity." I came to the conclusion that dentists don't go to school to learn about oral care. Oh no. They went to school to learn torture people. I believe this because each time I leave the dentist I have been in tears. I have jaw pain all the time so going to the dentist and having him try to open my mouth is just awful. I have told him time and time again that it hurts, don't, I can't open any wider... He never listened. Yesterday I went to see a new dentist, Dr. Strand. She was awesome! She listened to what I had to say, she spoke to me like an adult, she answered my questions, and SHE DIDN"T HURT ME!!!!!! Going to the dentist and leaving without more pain means this doctor is good. My faith in the dental field has been restored thanks to Dr. Strand.
