Why is there such a negative stigma with going to the dentist? How can we change our outlook on this experience so we can make it more enjoyable for both the dentist and their patients? Dr. Tom Bordignon, DDS General Dentist, provides valuable information on how to find the right dentist for you and why this doesn’t need to be a stressful experience.
