Im nooooo fan of the dental arts..but you have to do what you have to do, sometimes..you know? Get your pearlies clean.. THANK god I have good genes and teeth... okay maybe, good teeth... but you get me, I know! Dr. Ito is wonderful...he liked my car..& kept talking about it...I had to laugh, bc I kept thinking how did he know what I drove...but heres the thing...a good Dr. will direct your attention elsewhere if your fearful..and Im a nervous wreck at the dentist office. He jokes and makes the experience personal.. The assistants and hygenist are wonderful... they have headphones and little tv's attached to your dental chair to watch ..and for me...I just need something to take the chisel sound away... or the suction..I dont like chisels or suction noises in my mouth! I get my teeth whitened here too... I drive out of my way to get over there to go to Dr. Ito & his staff...
