Most people experience the practice of dentistry at a very young and impressionable age. Long ago, when dentistry techniques weren’t as well developed as they are today, the experiences were quite discomforting, even though the dentist tried his best to ease the pain. Even the sight of the needle the dentist used to numb your mouth brought on major apprehension and probably an increase in your blood pressure. If you’re like most people, you don’t like pain. Tooth nerves are extremely sensitive. The kind of pain you get when you have an onset of a toothache brings back those memories of a child, when you got your first filling or tooth extraction to make room for those bigger teeth that were coming in. You kept asking yourself why your parents subjected you to all of this torture and torment. Was it really necessary?

As you got older, you discovered however that dental hygiene was extremely important. You also figured out what halitosis was (bad breath). One day you smelled someone else’s breath up close and wondered if they smelled yours. That made you even more self-conscious. As you developed through personal relationships, you came to realize that the mouth was a very personal place. After all, the food you eat and the liquids you drink all have to go into your “buccal cavity” to start with (that’s the dental term for “your mouth”). As part of your food digestion process, you have to masticate (chew your food), therefore, you need teeth to do the grinding of whatever you’re eating otherwise, the rest of your digestive system can’t properly dissolve and process your food, leading to other gastric problems.

Unfortunately, most people only go to the dentist “when it hurts”. More unfortunately, “when it hurts” usually means they’ve waited too long and the cause of the pain they’re feeling generally means they’ve neglected their dental care. In this day and age, neglecting your dental care means having to bear the financial costs of more expensive and prolonged treatment, even with today’s technological advances in dentistry.

Dr. Robert Rodriguez and his staff are here to answer all your questions and help you map out a successful and affordable dental plan. Dr. Rodriguez isn’t just your ordinary dentist either. As you read through this website, you’ll not only be getting the education you need to have a better understanding of dental hygiene and procedures, you’ll also understand why Dr. Rodriguez’s patients keep coming back!

WHY OUR PATIENTS KEEP COMING BACK!

Dr. Robert Rodriguez and his staff understand the importance of their patients’ dental needs. The most difficult thing that patients have to spend during their waking hours is time. Dr. Rodriguez and his staff know that if they can make your visit to the dentist more enjoyable, practical and less time consuming, they’ll win your trust and you’ll get a thorough education and understanding of dental procedures and why they’re necessary to maintain your smile.

When you come in for your first visit, you’re going to be asked to fill out a questionnaire and a health history form. The questionnaire is going to tell Dr. Rodriguez and his staff what improvements you’d like to see in your smile. We know that your smile is something you’re going to carry with you as long as you live and it needs to be healthy. There’s nothing worse than being afraid to open your mouth and letting those “pearly whites” show. It affects your self-confidence. It affects your ability to communicate … and it affects your ability to get ahead in life.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US!

We hope you enjoy your visits to see Dr. Rodriguez and his staff. You’re a valued patient and we look forward to not only seeing you again, but we also value your comments. Here’s what some of our patients have to say about their experience at the dental practice of Dr. Robert Rodriguez:

“I have been to a lot of dentists in my life. On many occasions, I felt like
a statistic and not a patient. After visiting Dr. Rodriguez a few times, I
began to develop a relationship with him and his staff. I soon realized that
the goals they helped me set to achieve my professional-looking mouth
were the key ingredients that made me see that coming to his office was
like visiting a whole other family that really has my best interests at heart!”
