“Dentist office music”
What do you think of when you hear this expression? You think of a waiting area and examination room where there are a lot of nervous patients with the fear of drills, sharp tools and scary treatments in their heads. The smooth jazz plays to soothe the patient, to make them think of someplace else. These people it seems; are SEEING THE WRONG DENTIST! Look no further, get on a plane if you have to. You have reached your final destination in dentistry. Gone are the days of those painful moments waiting next to someone biting on a gauze pad as you hear screams emanating from beyond.
