There are a lot of people in today’s society that are fearful of visiting the dentist as it brings up visions of painful dental work, drills and previous bad experiences. Although this is common, in the modern day an increasing amount of emphasis is put on our appearance and we feel it is important to show at least the appearance of a healthy body. We are told by magazines and television advertisements that we need to present healthy skin, healthy hair, a healthy body and healthy, white teeth; so we must overcome our fears in order to be better accepted in society; or so we are led to believe.
