My main goal is to keep the front teeth looking good, and the back teeth to be comfortable for chewing.
It's much cheaper, less painful, less stress to prevent dental problems than to fix them once they are advanced. If it ain't broke don't fix it may apply to some things...but not to dental care.
Thinking that no pain means no problem is also very risky. As once a tooth hurts the problem is bigger, takes longer to fix and costs more with a less ideal result.
I strive to teach patients how to fish, rather than just giving them a fish.
