There’s an old saying that ignorance is bliss, and it’s true that no one ever wants to hear “bad news.” If there are problems with your teeth, though, you’re bound to find out eventually. It’s simply a choice between finding out on your own terms with a calm, planned appointment or finding out in an emergency situation when something breaks or starts to hurt. That said, having Dr. Jeff do a complete evaluation of your mouth and talk with you about your current condition (which may not be as bad as you’re assuming) and your treatment options isn’t painful or expensive, and we’ve never heard him yell at anybody!
