About Michael C. Maksim, DDS
I started writing dental articles over fifteen years ago at the suggestion of one of my patients. I felt dentistry was misunderstood by the general public. This misunderstanding has led many people to avoid the dentist. Dentistry can be confusing because of the wide variety of treatment approaches that are presented to patients. This confusion, coupled with the fear of pain that many people associate with dental treatment, prevents many people from seeking dental care.
