So now you guys want my THOUGHTS in addition to the cherished pieces of decayed teeth that are so unceremoniously removed in a veritable sleet storm (pardon the pun) of flying enamel, dentin, and cementum?! As if lobotomizing my teeth isn't trauma enough! I WOULD HAVE requested the detritus be recovered for a proper burial, as I'm quite certain the tooth fairy would be insulted at the audacity of not just an adult attempting to be compensated for the value of any tooth loss, but would herself suffer permanent post-traumatic stress at seeing the contents of what any respectable family would only deem proper to present in a closed-casket ceremony. Now that the serious issues have been addressed, we may move onto the more tedious details of my experience(s) with all the wonderful people, from the amazing women in the front to the equally dedicated hygienists and anyone else whom I may have unintentionally omitted from this list, to the fearless leader who takes her crew to the foreboding and, at times, I'm certain downright TERRIFYING domains of the human mouth, where ravenous bacterial denizens who lurk and hide behind and feed upon the life-sustaining layers of sugar often found in abundance, having made a home amongst the stalagmites and stalagmites in this dark, damp living cave where we humans first begin our winding, treacherous path that is our d digestive system. If I may be so bold, I would venture to say Dr. Blyholder is the captain of a dental practice, whose willing and experienced crew boldy go where no one has ventured before. And they do so despite the perils of dealing with alien peoples whose behavior cannot be predicted or intuited. The smokers and vapers who feign indignation at the suggestion they reduce their nicotine and/or tobacco use, to the ones who outright deny their use of these insidious, legal poisons (I myself am a victim seeking to escape this disgusting habit) not realizing that, while they can no longer smell the cigarette smoke emanating from their clothes, hair, and bodies, everybody who doesn't smoke and who bathes regularly can. And of course I can't fail to mention the general nature of the human element in any sense. For the patients who walk into a dental or medical office with a 30-minute Google DDS or MD degree frequently think that they know more than the professionals who went to school for years and have additional years of full-time experience in their respective fields. The ultimate testament to this practice is not in anything I can say, but merely in the fact that my mother has decided to change from her current dentist to Dr. Blyholder, and her teeth and wallet will be just as grateful as she. In sum, I highly recommend Dr. Blyholder to anyone looking for a dentist who holds herself and team to the highest standards of patient care, management, preventive techniques and advice, and an earnest desire to answer any and all potential questions a patient may have.
