Ruth's approach
Ruth shows you what she finds, goes through your options in plain words and writes down the plan and the estimate before treatment.
She asks how you want to handle numbing and breaks, and she stops whenever you ask.
Areas of focus
Preventive care
Ruth looks for problems early, shows you what she sees on the screen and agrees a schedule for exams and cleanings with you.
Fillings and crowns
She talks through what a repair involves and what the other options are, including leaving a tooth alone and watching it.
Family visits
She sees parents and grown children, and is happy to book family members back to back.
