The Turning Point (2021 Story)
The Visit That Changed Everything
Sometime in 2021, a top insurance executive lurched into my Lagos office with an excruciating ache that had handicap his productivity. He had been told his fiancée, a nurse, that he has worm in a tooth, and the only treatment is removal. My team and I cured the tooth. Mr. Emeka is a raving fan till tomorrow.
I experience worse scenarios in Benin and Abuja.
Pain Brings Them,
Fear Keeps Them Away
My real training was learning how to speak calmly, and connect.
The major reason client attends the dental office is pain. Paradoxically, the larger population would not visit the dentist because of apprehension and anxiety. I trained to find a balance, to disarm through language, and to make every patient well-informed and conformable while on the chair.

“Why ‘Calm’? Why ‘Tooth’?”
"Calm" ---

The philosophy to conserve nature is the Tooth part of CalmTooth.
This Is My Why
Too many Nigerians are at the mercy of charlatans and misinformation. The paucity of empirical knowledge continues the propagation of anachronistic dentistry. Dentists who attempt to place pecuniary benefit over professionalism must be censored. Why RCT on a cavitated non symptomatic tooth?
