Dr. Arva Lumpkin - Atlanta Ashlee Carter: As a young patient, Dr. Lumpkin was our family dentist, and I remember visiting her during my last year under my parents insurance. During one of my final visits, she made a blunt comment about the condition of my teeth, which was especially unsettling given my existing fear of dentists. This encounter left a lasting negative impression, impacting my willingness to seek dental care independently. Regrettably, I havent been to a dentist in years, and the hurtful words from that experience have contributed to the state of my dental health. Despite this, I am currently seeking dental care elsewhere after several years, though those words still resonate with me.
