A Letter from Bart
Dr. Hadfield and staff,
Less than a year ago I was the guy standing back in the shadows at the BBQ’s and get-togethers. I was afraid to laugh, and kept my mouth hidden at all costs. I constantly had my ugly teeth in the back of my mind – If I eat this, will another tooth break? If I eat that, will another one fall out? I was the guy using frequent cigarette breaks as an excuse to get away from the scrutiny. I had no idea that within a matter of months I would find myself sitting in Dr. Hadfield’s office, reading a letter from my wife that had won me the most phenomenal gift I could ever ask for – a new smile.
It is hard to put into words just how much this gift has changed my life. Not only did Dr. Hadfield shatter my lifetime fear of dentists with his unending support and kindness, but I can now enjoy my favorite foods again without fear of making my smile worse. It is amazing to eat corn-on-the-cob with everyone else at the BBQ’s now! I can also proudly say that this experience has given me the motivation and confidence to defeat my smoking habit, and be smoke-free once and for all!
Last but not least, I can only begin to tell you how much this new smile has improved my self-confidence, but my efforts would fall short at expressing just how much it really has changed my life. The feeling is indescribable – to actually enjoy laughing! To actually enjoy taking pictures with my family! To actually sit through an entire meal with friends, without having to leave and hide in embarrassment with a tooth that had just broke. I feel as if I am now allowed to enjoy the simple pleasures in life that I was denied after my accident – how do you put that into words? How do you say thank you for that?
I feel as though a simple “Thank-you” will never fully express my appreciation to my family, my friends, and especially my supervisors at ARUP Blood Services, for their endless support and understanding throughout this process. “Thank-you” will never quite measure up to the gratitude I owe Dr. Hadfield and his staff for their patience and compassion.
I can’t say it enough – Dr. Hadfield truly is a miracle-worker, and I am forever grateful for the new smile, and new breath of life he has given me.
Sincerely,
Bart Fletcher
