I admit it, I was a big scardey-cat (spelling?) when it came to going to the dentist. I always dreaded it and put it off for years. I knew I was doing the wrong thing, but I could not help it. then a freind told me about an experience she had at Dr. William Wolfson's offices (212 smiling) on West 56th Street New York. She said that she walked in to the office, they gave her a couple of pills, she lay down and then woke up with a whole new smile (teeth capped).
While I figured that I did not need anything that extensive done, I thought I would call and ask about this sedation dentistry and how it applied to my situation. They were very nice on the phone and when I visited they explained everything. The outcome, I'll never dread another visit. |
