Dr. Dickerson's Philosophy of Care -Every human being has unlimited worth and potential and should be treated with dignity and respect. -Gum disease and dental decay are chronic, degenerative lifestyle diseases, and almost entirely preventable. -Sever TMJ or bite problems can cause pain and destruction of the teeth, periodontal tissues, jaw joints, and associated muscles and therefore is a key consideration for long term oral health. -Each dental patient should be educated in a positive, non-threatening environment, and offered treatment choices that best suit that patient’s established wants, needs, and values. -Individuals have the responsibility to choose health or disease, and to accept the outcome of their choices. -People who choose to be healthy want to thoroughly understand their current state of health and deserve a long-term Master Plan to insure their future health. -Once a patient has made a commitment to better oral health and has chosen me to help, it is my privilege to facilitate that patient’s progress. -When seeking my care, each dental patient deserves my undivided attention and my absolute best effort. -Long-term, high quality dental care is a remarkably sound investment. -My ultimate goal as a dentist is to help my patients adopt the habits and accept the dentistry necessary to preserve their natural teeth.
