Dear patient,
I may call you this every time you seek help from me. Please know that calling you my patient is not a thing that one should take lightly. You may think that our relationship is as shallow as the tip of this iceberg but it has been rooted deep since the day you’ve put your faith in me.

Being my patient means that you are my responsibility and that responsibility is as big as this iceberg. With this, I hope that you will continue to paint everything between us in blue – the hue that represents trust.
Worry not for you are in good hands.
Sincerely,
Your Tooth Fairy
