full mouth reconstruction

[00:00:00.000] I was caught off by surprise a little bit [00:00:02.401] because my reports would normally be looking good, "Good job, Sharon. [00:00:07.730] Just keep up what you're doing and come back in six months." [00:00:12.457] The older I got... [00:00:14.871] I'm 78 this year. [00:00:17.771] It seemed like my mouth wanted to fall apart. [00:00:20.843] When I reached the conclusion to see if this was the right treatment [00:00:24.600] is after I made a point with Dr. Haight, he did the initial examination, [00:00:29.214] and it was at probably one-hour, two-hour visit [00:00:33.971] that he showed what he could do and what he couldn't do [00:00:36.730] and what he would recommend. [00:00:38.957] He tried to analyze what I wanted. [00:00:41.320] He made me feel real comfortable about the work. [00:00:45.081] I didn't really receive any pressure. [00:00:47.338] It was very calming to come to the dentist. [00:00:51.443] It seems weird. [00:00:53.615] Most people would not say it's calming to go to the dentist. [00:00:56.957] When it came to the actual treatment involved, [00:00:59.343] the patient that I got the impression he was always in charge of what they want [00:01:03.100] with the recommendations from the doctor and what he thinks needs to be done. [00:01:07.986] What made our life much easier was the equipment he has in here [00:01:13.171] to be able to do all these different treatments. [00:01:16.529] As far as what I care to eat, [00:01:19.160] I managed with the crappy teeth I had in my mouth, [00:01:22.238] but now the corn on the cob, even chocolates and things like that [00:01:26.671] are much easier to eat. [00:01:29.114] I've got my chewing ability back, and it's making life much more wonderful. [00:01:35.043] As far as the work that the doctor has completed thus far, [00:01:39.514] I gave him an A plus, plus, plus because I'm very happy with it. [00:01:43.514] Going down, and I don't feel like I've got to hide my teeth anymore. [00:01:47.771] I'd be self-conscious about that. [00:01:50.240] I have to learn how to smile again [00:01:51.972] because I'd hated to expose my teeth before. [00:01:55.329] Now as this progresses, [00:01:58.629] it's very easy to start learning that again. [00:02:01.500] If somebody was real reluctant [00:02:05.657] to go to the dentist for previous bad experiences or whatever the reason, [00:02:11.286] I would say that they need to make an appointment with Dr. Haight. [00:02:15.801] He's very easy, approachable. [00:02:19.743] You don't feel any pressure. [00:02:22.671] Give you an honest idea of what's required. [00:02:25.401] He's very gentle. [00:02:27.586] You'll probably have a totally different impression of a dentist. [00:02:31.300] If you have the courage, [00:02:33.586] just come in for an exam and hear what he can do for you.
