I have decades of history with the "wrong" dentists to the point, I was terrified to even call when my teeth needed care. I have had to take medications pre-dental appointment to calm my anxiety and stopped that strategy after one incident when I found out I actually drove a car and went to work while under the influence of tranquilizers. I went to one dental clinic in Lacombe, and that was just another sorry episode that only confirmed my fears about dentists. Until my daughter-in-law and son took their family to Aurora. I was so fortunate that my first experience was with Dr. Lowry. The whole clinic, receptionists, assistants and Dr. Lowry, were consistently reassuring me, and comforting me in the first visit - and that was only an examination. My second visit involved two difficult extractions - I felt barely a pinch and the experience was almost cathartic, in terms of my almost lifelong fear of dentists. I just finished my third visit, another extraction - of an infected molar - again.... nothing but reassurance and comfort. I am so confident in Dr. Lowry's ability to handle any dental procedure, especially to those who are terrified of dentists. Thank you so much Dr. Lowry & staff. read more
