Dentistry Is More Than Just Teeth | Comfort, Confidence, and Health in Rochester, MN

Most people when they think of dentistry think about teeth. I mean……. all dentists do is fix teeth, right?

At Med City Dental dentistry is more than just teeth! Dentistry is about comfort, confidence, and health!

Comfort Comes First

Let’s be very honest with one another…. I know that the dental office isn’t people’s favorite place to be – I hear it on a weekly basis. I have even heard it said that two of people’s greatest fears are public speaking and (you guessed it) going to the dentist!

Going to the dentist can bring anxiety, painful memories and experiences, and fear of being judged. As a dentist, I do not take this lightly. I know it can be scary sitting back in a chair, mouth open, someone in a mask and scary looking glasses staring down at you!

Before a dental exam even begins, we want to establish trust and comfort with you. We want you to feel welcome, respected, safe, and met free of judgement. I know that the fact that someone is in my office is that they have already taken the hardest step of getting themselves here. If you are here for your routine checkup, here for an emergency, here for the first time in years, or in some cases here for the first time in your life – you are welcome, accepted, and valued. Patients that are comfortable in our office feel safe to ask questions and empowered to take control of their oral health and treatment.

Confidence Goes Beyond Appearance

A confident smile is amazing, but it is more than just teeth and esthetics.

A healthy mouth affects how you eat, speak, interact socially, and have feelings about yourself. An unhealthy mouth affects your ability to chew and eat with confidence. There may be that “one tooth” that is painful to chew on or that other area that is very sensitive to cold things. This will lead to dietary changes and often less healthy foods.

I have observed that individuals that are not confident with their smile affects them beyond just physical health, it can affect them on a deep psychological level. I have seen the dramatic before and aftereffects of healing a mouth can have. People can smile without fear of judgement, eat with comfort and confidence, and also be more talkative! It is truly a beautiful thing and one of the great honors in dentistry to help someone get back their confidence!

Your smile is something you show daily. People that feel negatively about their teeth tend to be quiet and reserved. Often hiding their teeth from others for fear of judgement or negative self-thoughts.

Dentistry has the power to change someone’s life for the better.

Traveling the Path to Oral Health

Dental appointments in our office are for the patient. No two patients are the same. Everyone comes with different experiences and backgrounds. I want to know about YOU.

The only way I can do that is by listening more than I speak. My promise to you is that I will listen and take the time needed to understand. Healing in dentistry is not about getting to finish line the fastest. It is about the journey and traveling together side by side.

There may be setbacks, there may be breaks, or change of final destination. All these things are what they are. There is no good or bad. There is no judgement. I will walk side by side with you to get you to where you want to be.

Great dentistry should support your health and life – not complicate it!
