I am a bit of a nervous person when it comes to dental work. I’m not nervous with other things, and I often perform to crowds of hundreds of people, and I love that kind of energy. But I have a minor claustrophobia, so having somebody’s hands in my mouth is an issue, and I must close my eyes during a routine cleaning because forearms right in my face make me feel uncomfortable.
On top of this, I have a serious gag reflex, so when we have to take the x-rays they are so loving and sweet about it, and I’m sure my file says I’m a nervous. In addition, I’ve always had just really great teeth. Some people have unfortunate dental issues; I’ve been blessed with great teeth. I’ve never had braces. I’ve had just a handful of cavities in my entire life, and in fact, my first filling was not until I was in my late 30s. So because of this, the idea of any dental work is really scary to me, because it’s not part of my routine.
I will add that I’m obsessive about my teeth. I share this obsession with my friend, Bob, and we literally sit debate best toothpaste and floss and bring each other dental gifts from other countries. We are very teeth focused.
Add to all of this a little bit of white coat syndrome and I’m not exactly a delight at the dentist. But, at least I’m self-aware.
I recently had a sealant that needed to be taken out and replaced. And I scheduled the procedure and then worried about it for a week. Dr. Peterson showed up without her white coat on, because she knew the white coat made me nervous. And then she was gentle and sweet and explained everything and fixed it so quickly that I felt so very silly for having worried for so long.
Dr. Peterson holds that perfect combination of skill and warmth that make a great dental professional. I’ve recommended Dr. Peterson and the Gillespie group to my husband (who goes there) and now my daughter will be 21 and she will leave her pediatric dentist and come to Gillespie as well.I am confident she was receive sterling treatment. I also recommend Dr Peterson to friends any time they ask, “do you like your dentist?“ They get a real earful of how much I like Dr. Peterson and all of the hygienists.
Bravo Dr. Peterson!
