I
have
been
going
to
Progressive
Dental
since
about
2014,
give
or
take
a
year.
After
a
childhood
of
improper
dental
care
I
was
terrified
of
sitting
in
the
chair.
When
I
first
met
Dr.
Chaitra
Rao-Aithal
I
knew
I
found
our
dentist.
She
guided
me
through
a
treatment
plan,
recommended
where
I
could
get
my
wisdom
teeth
removed,
and
has
always
had
great
compassion
for
my
dental
anxiety.
Her
dental
hygienists
displayed
the
same
care
and
patience
for
me.
Yes,
even
through
my
crying
and
the
need
to
take
breaks.
In
2022,
it
was
time
for
my
son
to
start
going
as
well.
While
he
didn’t
share
the
same
anxiety
as
myself,
he
was
a
little
apprehensive.
No
problem,
because
everyone
in
the
office
(from
front
staff
to
the
dentist)
made
him
feel
safe.
Finally,
in
2022
I
decided
it
was
time
to
take
the
leap
and
replace
a
front
tooth
crown
I
had
since
2003.
Don’t
even
get
me
started
on
how
terrified
I
was
since
that
procedure
is
what
began
my
fear
of
the
dentist.
During
the
summer
of
2022
I
worked
out
a
plan
with
the
staff.
Custom
whitening
trays,
impressions,
and
a
new
front
crown
all
before
I
went
back
to
work
for
public
speaking.
Going
in
for
the
final
step
of
my
new
crown,
I
was
excited
for
the
first
time
in
almost
20
years.
When
I
held
the
mirror
to
see
my
new,
white,
healthy
smile
(with
my
son
watching
me
from
across
the
room)
I
cried
the
happiest
of
tears.
I
couldn’t
remember
ever
loving
my
smile
and
here
I
was,
at
30
years
old,
loving
every
glance.
If
you
read
this
whole
review,
you
might
be
like
me:
searching
for
an
office
that
is
trauma
informed,
patient,
good
with
kids,
and
consistent.
Give
them
a
call.
