Cleansing your Teeth and Soul, Simultaneously

"When was the last time your dentist prayed over you...Do you hear soothing Christian music as you sit in the waiting room, or look at inspirational messages hanging from the walls?" -News Talk 1150, WTTT AM

These words were posted on a website, marketing El Shaddai Dental Associates, a relaxing atmosphere that Dr. Anthony Olatunji and his fellow associates have fostered into a warm place that feels more like a homely atmosphere than a dentist office.

I had the opportunity to visit, for the first time, five months ago--for a cleaning and my experience was something special. Of course, when we are touched, we have to share, especially since, news highlighting the negative usually takes precedence. I can speak volumes to the fact there is something special about walking into a dentist office, or anyhwhere for that matter: a spa, a clothing store, restaurant, or someone'e home, and feeling welcomed. In this case, hearing christian music playing softly in the background was soothing, and meeting staff who embody such a since of warmth, really gained my attention.
To be contined...
