I often receive calls from people who do not like going to the dentist because of many reasons. Some are afraid they may experience pain. For some it is just an inconvenience. I truly don't think people have been educated that dentistry isn't just about the smile, that it is also about the health of their smile.
I think it is really important to educate our patients on the benefits of taking care of their oral health. If we let our patients know that we offer many services for all ages and educate them on the importance of a healthy smile it promotes regular visits.
Dr. Kim educates all of our patients and speaks to them in terms they can understand. It truly makes a difference.
When patients want to put off fillings because they just had an expensive crown or root canal. We let them know that it is important to take care of the fillings as soon as possible because if left too long they can also turn into more of an expense.
I notice more patients scheduling recalls and making those appointments after an exam with Dr. Kim. I believe it has a lot to do with education on healthy oral health.
