Dentists are just ordinary people and like ordinary people something's make them sad and something's make them happy. Something's make them angry and something's make them smile.
Why is it important to make your dentist happy? Well I guess I could tell you that he is the guy holding the needle so it is not a bad idea to make him happy (just kidding) but that is not true. Your dentist is a professional and even if he is angry he will never hurt you and he will always act for you benefit. Then why even worry about whether you dentist is happy or not. I guess it is the same reason we try to make anyone happy. Because it is the right thing to do!! But here is a little secret that many people don't know. If you treat people well then they will treat you well. If you are nice to your dentist he will be nice to you. If you don't miss appointments or cancel at the last second he will be more inclined to stay late for your emergency. If you are just plain nice then the whole office will always bend over backwards for you in just about everything. No this is not a secret but for some reason (and it is so simple) most people don't know this.
So what makes a dentist happy you may ask? Well here are a few things:
Remember your appointments especially if you just booked it yesterday. Don't be a habitual appointment no show.
Remember to shut off your cellphone when going into treatment. Nothing worse than the cell phone buzzing throughout treatment.
Brush your teeth! Next time your dentist asks you why you are not brushing don't say "It's a time thing!" We know that anyone can find two minutes in the morning and two minutes in the evening, which is much less time than you spend watching TV or checking your Facebook everyday.
Remember to do the treatment that has to get done. Nothing worse than you showing up a year later with a toothache and now we have to extract the tooth which we told you then was just a small filling.
Nothing is worse than this happening to your child because you didn't book the appointment, better it should happen to you.
Remind your children we have coloring books for coloring and the reception carpet is not part of the coloring book. Yes we do love children and see so many of them but we just ask them and you to respect our home as you would respect your own.
Oh yes, remember to pay your bill.
There are more things but I think you get the general idea.
"Remember to treat your dentist, or anyone, as you would like to be treated yourself."
