I have very serious dental phobias and Dr. B & his staff have made my life easier when it comes to dental hygiene. Dr. B tells jokes and stories to release the tension of the moment, will let you take a break if you need one (I did) and he even let me use "laughing gas" for my cleanings and visits to help with my anxiety. I don't get anxious anymore, I've referred half a dozen people to his office since my first visit (a friend referred him to me) and they always send a thank you card.
