Patient Impact

"Very early in my professional career, I had the pleasure of having a 13 year-old girl as my patient. When she came in, she had very large cavities on her upper front teeth. After two hours of work, I handed her the mirror and she could not hold back her tears of joy. She was so thankful. I could see the patient's sudden change of confidence from not wanting to smile to smiling."
