My name is Belinda and I am 55 years old. Going to the dentist was not a priority in my books, but something that I could always do another day. I had a fear of any dental work, which stemmed from early childhood experiences.
About 30 years ago, I was diagnosed with an Auto-immune disease that caused severe dry mouth. I went along with no side effects, or so I thought. When my teeth started to deteriorate, it was a rapid decline that I ignored.
I sought out a dentist that wanted to pull them all and do implants at a cost I could not even fathom. I went a couple of months with this decision hanging over my head. I quite frankly was scared to death of this process.
My children stepped in and told me about their dentist that they had no fears or concerns about going to. They kept saying “just give them a call and I know he can help you out with a better decision”.
So I got the courage to make that phone call to Flatrock Dentistry and got an appointment with Dr. Rouse. It was the best thing that I could have ever done.
Dr. Rouse immediately put all my fears to rest and assured me that he could work with my teeth and that it was not necessary to pull them. So we started and finished in about 6-8 months.
I am able to smile again with pride because of all this office did for me. They did more for me than they will ever know. The special care Dr.Rouse and his dental crew gave to me everytime I stepped into that office, knowing my fears, was over and beyond my expectations. They are all heroes to me and my life is better for making the move to Flatrock Dentistry. Thank You Dr. Rouse for making this experience painless and giving me a reason to smile BIG again!!!
