Does it hurt? Many patients talk to their friends and ask if it hurts when they have their braces removed. Their friends, seizing an opportunity, will say, “Oh yes, it really hurts when they take your braces off”. Tarah Ferguson, shown above, had her braces removed today. She was apprehensive, but I told her it didn’t hurt. I took Tarah’s braces off while I was talking to her mom. Tarah thought the braces were still on her teeth. She didn’t realize I had taken them off. LOL When she finally moved her lips and tongue across her teeth, she was shocked and placed a big grin on her face. We all had a good laugh.

Another promising college student, Brianna Barnes, job shadowed yesterday. Brianna had some very good questions about the dental field and I believe she will obtain all her goals. She said she just thought working as a dentist would be very enjoyable and fun. Good luck Brianna. Come back and visit soon. If you want to know more about the dental field as an occupation, please contact the office. Dr. Thompson does allow job shadowing by appointment. It’s good that young people find out as much as possible about the occupational field they desire.
