How To Poorly Manage a Dental Office: Your Inner Voice.

Office December 17th, 2008

Let your inner voice have complete freedom. Allow others to know everything you’re thinking.

From a patient that I saw yesterday for a consultation:

I’m with a new dentist now. I left my previous dentist because one day when she was drilling my tooth and you could smell that tooth dust smell she told her assistant that that was the smell of money.

    You’ve got to switch dentists after hearing a comment like that, because you can never be certain any recommended treatment will be medically necessary, or just the sent of money.

    I would definitely have switched dentists after a stupid comment like that. It’s one of those things that is funny but we do feel badly laughing out loud about it.

    dr. mommy: Hmm, never thought of it that way…

    I can see where that might leave a bad taste in your mouth.

    No doubt that such a comment would make anybody think about changing dentists.

    Sounds like that dentist should have been an investment banker. Being greedy in the finance industry is considered to be a good thing.

    Once we got back from Punta Cana, work and the new dog (training) have kept us extremely busy. I just haven’t had time to sit and social-network.

    Roxy’s poop is nice and solid now. I’ll send you a picture of it if you want.

    I do not speak the language well where I live but I can understand it and the dentist was talking to the assistant once as if I was not in the room about how he is amazed I even fitted in the chair, yeah dutch girls are way smaller then me, that was the last time I seen him. I am so scared of dentists and it has taken me so long to find a good one and then what happens? he slips and cuts my gum open, I give up I will let them all fall out.

    There’s no excuse for rudeness and disrespect like that. That guy is an asshole and even more so if he becomes responsible for you losing teeth because of this down the road.
