Recently I got a new dentist and they’re pretty awesome. At first I had a bit of sticker shock from the cost but their service is on point. Super transparent about what needs to be done, and when I got cold during a minor operation they turned up the heat and brought me a blanket lol!

When I receive warm and kind care at a hospital, my opinion of that place significantly improves. I recently met a new doctor at the dentist's office I've been going to for years, and the way they reassured me during the treatment made me feel incredibly comfortable.
It was a tooth extraction after anesthesia, and the doctor told me, 'You must not feel any pain. If you feel even a little bit of pain, raise your hand.' I think it was to ensure that the anesthesia had fully taken effect before proceeding with the extraction.

That’s awesome! Glad you have good care.
