Dentists today (thankfully) bear little resemblance to the smile stealers of a bygone era. The modern-day dentist restores our faith in the way we feel about our face, our smiles and self-perception.

It might help you adopt some simple strategies for overcoming fears and phobias in support of living a life free from the malaise of a mouldering mouth.
