Dating dentist reddit

It's so important to make your patients as comfortable as possible otherwise they won't make an appointment with you until something is seriously wrong. Most people are scared of the dentist - and I get it, because I was scared of the dentist too, before I became one. Your dental work doesn't make much of a difference if your patients are too terrified to come in.

I try to view it as a personal challenge to make my patients' dental experiences so relaxing - by keeping our office space very "zen" and by creating a personal relationship with each of my patients - that I can convert them from people who hate dentists into people who love coming to see me.

It can be really hard not to take it personally. People will constantly tell you, "I hate dentists." Going to the dentist doesn't have to be a painful experience, but often, people associate dentistry with times they've been in a lot of pain or felt really anxious.
