I had suffered from terrible headaches for years without really knowing the reason why.  Lots of people have headaches, I figured, so I just stocked up on painkillers and lived through it.  I’m also the type of person who hates the dentist’s office.  Ever since I was a kid, I just haven’t felt at ease in that kind of environment.  I really only go when something is really wrong, like a cavity or something.  On one of these rare occasions, my dentist suggested that my headaches could actually be caused by a dental issue. 

He recommended a cosmetic dentist to further explore this possibility.  There, I had a high-tech type of CT scan that helped the dentist diagnose the problem.  Corrective measures were put into place immediately, and now I am once again free of the dentist’s office.  This time, however, I can say that the trip was enjoyable as well as worth the trouble.

My headaches gradually disappeared as I went through the treatment, and my quality of life has really improved.  I received such comfortable dental care over the course of my treatment that I am considering going back for some tooth whitening!  It’s not that I suddenly love the dentist’s office, I just see how useful and important a good dentist can be to a person’s well-being.
