Dentist in Minneapolis

Your dentist

Then there is "your" dentist. Your dentist looks after your oral health, looking for decay and disease, and prescribing treatment.

When one thinks about just how important the mouth is, your dentist plays a key role in your life from a young age through old age. We eat with our mouths, we talk with our mouths, and teeth are essential for both. What those teeth look like and how functional they remain over the years depends on your relationship with your dentist.

If we are not brushing correctly and flossing each day, and if we are not getting our regular cleanings and checkups, those teeth are at risk of not all being there as we get older. One only has to go to underdeveloped countries to see the effects of not having dentistry and a dentist playing a key role in ones life.

From your dentist

"I think we are very lucky in our country. I have patients from many parts of the world, and seeing some of the dentistry that's done outside of this country makes me appreciate the fine schools of dentistry, and the high dental standards, we have here.

"But it's more than that really. People here want to take care of their teeth, and they know what they need to do to have this care. There is no skepticism about keeping up hygiene appointments. And we learn from a young age how important it is to brush!

"I know I have the trust of my patients. I see it in their eyes every day. It makes me proud, and it makes me aware of my role in each of their lives.

"How should I say it? I'm proud to be a dentist. Its the best job in the world."
