Need a Dentist? Have you neglected your teeth? Are you scared to go to the Dentist? You know you need to go but it's going to hurt! Perhaps my story will help.
It is more than a little embarrassing to admit that I had completely neglected my teeth and had never seen a dentist. I had many cavities and had suffered many instances of swollen aching teeth but yet refused to see a dentist. Finally, during a particularly painful episode and at the urging of my family, I agreed to seek some help. That is when I first met Dr. Cybulski. I had already resigned myself to the fact that I would need to have all my teeth removed and replaced by dentures. I was so embarrassed to open my mouth for her to see my shame and I can only imagine her thoughts. To my surprise, she did not criticize nor did she admit I was a lost cause - "I can help you" were the words I heard. She told me I still have several healthy teeth but it would take several visits to complete the work if I agreed. She was giving me hope and a second chance - of course I agreed. She made a plan and I had appointments every week for many weeks. I knew this was going to hurt so I was prepared. I think the impressions of my fingers are still in the arms of that chair. She told me she was going to freeze me with a shot - oh God here comes the needle - but to my surprise, she applied something to numb the area before the needle and I hardly felt anything more than a little pinch. Okay, in a few minutes it's time to start the work. Here comes the drill and everyone knows this has to hurt so I tightened my grip even more but to my surprise, the pain never came. Some teeth had to be pulled and others drilled and filled. Every visit, I prepared for the pain but the story was the same - nothing. I soon started looking forward to the next visit because I was starting to feel so much better. What kind of a person is Dr. Cybulski? She even took time out from her vacation to make one of our appointments. When she filled the cavities in my front teeth and built them back up to look as they should, that was such a turning point. I could smile. I never smiled without covering my mouth. I couldn't believe the change. Now it was time to straighten these front teeth. Braces - at my age? Of course! I was proud to wear them and I was so surprised at how quickly I saw results. What a change from day 1. She made partial dentures by taking impressions with a putty like material. I had visions of these loose in my mouth but she made these fit so well, I never even think about them. I even had my teeth whitened!
To say that I am grateful to Dr. Cybulski is the understatement of a lifetime. I ended each visit with a sincere "Thank you for helping me". I affectionately call her Dr. Painless. I can honestly say she has never hurt me even with all the work she has done. Looking back, I don't know why I ever feared the pain - what could have hurt worse than all the pain I had with all those cavities!
I think everyone can look back and think of a few people who have had a big impact on their lives. Dr. Cybulski gave me the smile I never had. She gave me the self confidence I never had - the confidence to find and meet the love of my life. Yes, Dr. Cybulski is a very special person to me. A more kind and caring person you will never meet. She has surrounded herself with an equally caring and talented staff. If you are in need of a dentist, do yourself a favor and give her a call. read more
