How to please your dentist
First and foremost, why would you want to please your dentist? Well, if you don’t know, this person has the potential to make you weep for several days; he/she has in his/her control your teeth and your precious smile. Do not annoy him/her. In fact, try to keep him/her happy. If you are lucky, he/she may hand over a bonus candy along with the treatment. So, here’s our list of what you should do to keep your dentist happy.
Listen to him/her
Yes, at every moment. Listen to him/her whether he/she is asking you to visit again or take eat certain food, or instructing you to brush properly, or asking you to move your head/chin in a direction. Failure to follow any of his/her instructions, especially when he/she asks you to move your head/chin, may cost you dearly.
Eat what he/she asks you to
Along with giving you instructions on brushing, flossing, and post-treatment care, your dentist will prescribe to you certain foods. Snacking on these food may prove better than medication.
Do not miss appointments
Are you the kind who gives more importance to a lunch appointment with a friend than an appointment with your dentist? You may think that friendship is more important than a visit to the clinic, it is not. After all, a disappointed friend won’t give you pain; an angry dentist may.
Thank him/her
Thank him/her profusely. It may be his/her job, but if he/she does not do it sincerely, you are gone! So, thank him/her for the comfortable, painless experience at the clinic.
Greet him/her on Dentists’ Day
March 6 is Dentists’ Day. Call up, e-mail, or leave a message on Dentists’ Day. This is just another way of thanking him/her.
Happy smiling!
