Many thanks to Dr. Adams and his great staff for giving me back the confidence to smile, laugh out loud, eat whatever I like, and yes, even to kiss with confidence!
But most of all, for helping me to overcome feeling defeated by my dental problems. I now have a positive attitude about my dental future, and you can to.
For years I endured dental problems. And with each of these emotional and financial setbacks came my increased resignation that my teeth were ultimately doomed. And so, I rationalized there was no point in spending more dollars for preventive care or advanced work. I was defeated.
Then I moved to Raleigh and started going to Dr. Adams in 2000......but only when I had problems......like I said, I felt my teeth were a losing battle. I even called him from California on a Friday to say a tooth fell apart and could he see me Saturday as I had to fly to another conference on Sunday.....HE DID....and because of the short notice, had no assistants to help.
You gotta be a helluva dedicated Doctor to help people like that.......people who don't come in for regular checkups, don't take consistently good care of their teeth, who then need you at the last and most inconvenient moment (me).
Finally, my last dental disaster caused Dr. Adams to advise that if I didn't make a stand now, I would soon face the reality I have feared for decades. What changed my attitude in those few moments, after nearly 30 years of retreating, was his confidence, commitment and encouragement of what could be done.
As I look back now, I realize that this was the first and only dentist I ever had who personally cared more about me than I did in terms of my dental health and overall well being.
I don't how to explain more clearly how important that personal care & commitment is, but it really makes the difference. So, take a positive step forward and call Dr. Adams. Tell him your concerns, and isten to his advice.
