SMILES FOR SPRING

WHERE YOUR

Smile IS THEIR Passion

THE OFFICE OF SUSAN M. DENNIS, D.D.S.

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you upon meeting. It is a gateway to how approachable you may be, and truly completes your look. But what you may not think about, is how what makes up your smile, is a critical component of your overall health and day-to-day life. In a way should, this make it a vital priority in our care, like our doctors and other medical visits we should be making. The American Dental Association did a survey in 2018 that said 47% of Americans feel they don’t see their dentist as often as they’d like to, which makes you wonder about the other 53%. Some go religiously—and then there are the rest of us. The reasons for avoiding the dentist vary, with it sometimes being as simple as affordability, insurance coverage and time (because whoever has that?). Yet, for some of us, it comes down to past bad experiences, avoiding the “shameful” visit, pain or mostly, pure fear.

Some of that fear stems from the bad experiences, pain and cleanings ending with you shamed. But what if you could go to the dentist and not experience any of that? There is a real dental pratice here in our area, that says you should never feel pain at any of your visits. This office promises to take the time to listen to your fears and discuss your care before they even open your mouth. It is a place that looks at the entirety of your oral care, beyond just your teeth and gums, and then explains those findings to you so you can BOTH work together to find the best approach to caring for your mouth and your smile. This is not Narnia, nor any mythical office. It is real, and you can find it in Portage:
