People Look Down on a Bad Mouth
It is so frustrating when people look down on people with dental problems. People made an instant judgment, all because of the teeth. Also, both the professional and personal sides of things affect confidence.
I Didn’t Want Perfect Teeth
When you aged for about 75–80 years old, having perfect teeth would be freakish. A little crooked, a little yellowish, not bright white teeth but not compromising the bite.
You Are One of the Reasons for TSM

The Doctor Needs to Spend Time with You
“What do you wish you knew then that you know now? ” If you can’t get face time with the doctor, most would be very cautious about trusting them for surgery.

Don’t judge too quickly. Respect the person, not the pocketbook.
Tax Deduction

So much talent is invested in it and it’s not a gold mine for dentists.” – Laura
