UPLAND, Calif., Jan. 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anxiety over visiting a healthcare provider is not a new thing. Patients often become uncomfortable, unsure what to expect on their next visit. When communication breaks down between a healthcare provider and their patients, dissatisfaction is inevitably going to follow. This problem can become much worse for children and teenagers needing dental services. This is why the leading pediatric dentist, Dr. Martinez, is now providing better care for deaf and hard of hearing children this holiday season.
Whether parents like it or not, most children are going to be nervous over visits to the dentist. Even for a quick checkup, children are going to build up anxiety over situations and places that they are unsure of. This is especially true when a deaf or hard of hearing child feels as if there is a communication barrier between them and their dentist. As a proud Upland children's dentist operating at Upland Dental Practice, Dr. Martinez understands just how pervasive this problem has become.
Growing up with a deaf family member, it become apparent to Dr. Martinez how frustrating a lack of communication between a healthcare provider and their patients can be. Requiring a translator can cause a rift between the two parties, leading to second-rate care. This is why Dr. Martinez, children's dentist, combined her passion to help others with an understanding that there needed to be an alternative for the deaf and hearing impaired.
