I’ve been to my share of orthodontists growing up with the ‘old style’ braces and various dentists over the years for cleaning and wisdom teeth removal.
So for years I just resigned myself to the fact it’s just always gonna have some level of pain depending on what is being done, during and after the procedure.
Then I met Dr Farokhian. By far the most gentle, talented dentist I’ve ever been to. After a few visits it became apparent just how different he is from the rest.
Never even felt the shot of Novocain. They took short breaks so I could rest my jaw. A small pillow was provided for my neck support. I even got sunglasses to wear to help with the bright light. More Novocain was given when I started to feel just a little bit. My anxiety was way lower than with other dentists which is a huge relief for me.
My most recent procedure started out as a cavity filling and became my first crown. I had my temporary crown for a few weeks while my permanent crown was being made. Once the permanent crown was in I was able to chew on that side again with no problems. Other than being a little sore I had no additional pain or swelling. A small miracle in my book!
Aloha to Dr Farokhian and your wonderful team!

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs.

A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting.
Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.
