A nervous young lady came to see me recently. She was new to York Place, came on a recommendation. Her last dentist had told her that she "had the mouth of a 50 year old".
But she's in her 20's...
She thought she had gum disease and was going to lose her teeth. She was a very worried lady.
We checked her for health. OK, she had a few damaged teeth, and her gums bled because she had some plaque on her teeth. There were some food stains and some tar stains from her recently - ceased smoking habit.
But that was it.
- Her gums can be fixed - we will show her how.
- Her teeth can be fixed.
- She's going to look GREAT and she has an excellent dental future.
....and the team can help to keep her like that with her own mouth care program.
She's now a lot happier, and we undid something that was careless and untrue. I so hope that we don't make the same mistake...
Has anything like this ever happened to you? Let us know....
