As a dentist, Dr. Steven G. Berwitz DMD hears a lot of different stories. The one he hears the most is that person who won’t come in because they are afraid of what they might hear. They think they have the worst mouth ever. They’re even embarrassed. They almost made an appointment few times and then just couldn’t go through with it.
If you are that person this is what you should do:
Give Dr. Berwitz one shot. One visit. Come in with someone you trust. Hear what Dr. Berwitz has to say. There will be no probing, no picking, and certainly no embarrassment. In sixty seconds, he should make you feel safe.
One thing is for sure. It isn’t going to get better on its own. Sooner or later you’ve got to do this thing. And Dr. Berwitz will be there to get you though it.
Call Dr. Berwitz’s office at (912) 355-5004 or click here for more info.
