  3. Wear comfortable, breathable clothing. \u00a0Nothing too tight or restrictive, or anything that will make you more hot and sweaty.<\/li>\n
  4. Breathe. Try to get to our office a few minutes early. \u00a0Sit down, look at the fireplace, enjoy our comfy chairs and couch. Enjoy our inviting decor, we like to think of our waiting room more of a living room than a stark dental office.<\/li>\n
