Why would anyone want to go back to a dentist-ever? That was my feeling when my own Physician told me "you need to get that tooth out". I didn't care how ugly, broken or painful it may be, I was not ever going to go to a dentist again. But each time I was at my doctor's he repeated, "still have that tooth, it needs to come out". He only had my health in mind. I knew that but he didn't know why I didn't like going to a dentist. I know it doesn't really matter to anyone but me.
Finally one day my doctor said after looking at my throat (this after about a two year period) you need to get that tooth out again, I said, I'm kinda afraid, don't like the dentist and he said, well neither do I but...Suddenly I added, not knowing why,I don't even know anyone to go to. Now he had me. With a big smile on his face he said, "how'd you like to go to my dentist?" Wow. Now this is class. A doctor was about to send me to his own dentist ? So in a flash he followed that up with, "wait, I'll get his card". He quickly got the card and told me, tell him I sent you and he's a Nice guy. Tell him I said that too :) He was smiling the whole time. Handing me the card, I read the dentists' name allowed, DePasquale, with a long E sound. Italian. Kool, different in this area. I thanked my doctor and left.
When I got home I put the card on my desk by my computer and it still took a few months to work up my nerve to just make an appointment. Finally I did and finally I went.
Sitting a bit nervously I met his assistants, one was a high voiced talker so happy she just made me more nervous, but she was also so very nice, so I knew it was just me. They took full -x-rays to look for spots and any irregular things.
Finally after the initial stuff was finished the dentist comes in. There he is, man of the day, Dr. DePasquale. A handsome just right age for a dentist, he has a nice relaxing personality, just like my medical doctor. He tells me what he sees in the x-rays but allows me so much time to ask questions, let him know how I feel and more.
Dr. DePasquale has a great bedside manner if I can use that phrase meant mainly for medical doctors. He and his specialist assistant know just how to change a conversation to take your mind off things and even though I'm aware, it's just nice that the chats aren't always about dental stuff, but everyday things. With all of this, that was going on with today's appointment's, my tooth was removed and I never felt any pressure, no bumps into any other teeth, no , no, no bad feelings at all to keep me away ever again. I never knew he took my took out, until he said, "okay it's out".
Dr. DePasquale with a long E , well that's how I like to say his name, I appreciate y, your staff and how respectful you are toward your patients. More Dental doctors like you are needed, but as far as I'm concerned, I can't wait to go back ! Now he's man/dentist of the year ! Thank you. You have made a serious difference in my...mouth :)
