One Patient’s Experience
Tom Bunning had a lot of dental work as an adolescent, and it wasn’t always a pleasant experience. When he chose Dr. Rick Barfield at 1st In Smiles to care for his dental health, he discovered that there really is a difference between dentists and dental practices.
In reviewing our practice, Tom wrote, “As a young kid growing up, I think probably around 12 or 13 years of age, I spent a lot of time at the dentist’s office taking care of cavities and so there is a certain amount of anxiety that at that time it created and it is really easy to revisit that when you get back in the same situation.
“I think the thing I have enjoyed the most is that there is a real sense of discovery on behalf of your caring staff of dental hygienists, assistants and Dr. Barfield to find out if you have those, to make sure you are in the most comfortable situation possible if they are going to do a procedure.
“Everything from opportunities to listen to the tv or the radio and I’m a fan of the Nitrous Oxide too, just to stay relaxed and it helps me and I’m sure it helps them a lot to know I’m comfortable. It’s a place you want to go to and be taken care of, have the latest in technology available to help you in that process and also a place that you want to go back to. So both of those work together to make a great place because you want that continuity of care.”
It’s safe to say that Tom found the right dental practice
