Who's an Ideal Dentist? Let's Check Out Top 9 Qualities!
We have all been there- lying on the dentist’s chair with our feet shaking anxiously, praying with folded hands, asking God to help us bear the pain that would be bearing in the next few hours.
Whatever happens after that lets us know how ideal of a Dentist are we dealing with.
Dentistry is an unusual profession because Dentists not only need to focus on patient care, but also often own and run their own businesses. While a lot of Dentists begin working for patient care at first, they often get consumed by the finances of the business which sometimes, leads them to take decisions that are not in harmony with their initial vision.
Let’s check out top nine qualities and figure out who’s an ideal Dentist…
Comforting
Come to think of it, a lot of Dentist’s time is used with his or her face and hands extremely close to patients’ faces. An ideal dentist is the one who not only is comfortable being at such a close proximity to you, but also makes you feel comfortable and doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable.
Easy Going
An Ideal dentist is the one who tries to learn about patients on a more personal level before beginning treatment to make them feel more comfortable. An ideal dentist would put his patients at ease and help them understand the situation of their mouth. They would also make them realize that its their overall health they are concerned with, not just their mouths.
Trustworthy
Since dentists are working with sharp metal objects in the mouth, a very sensitive area of the body, it is really important that they are trustworthy. Patients need to trust that their dentist will try his or her best not to hurt them and will take all precautions necessary to make their experience pain free.
Detailed Oriented
The mouth is an extremely small space to work in, so an Ideal Dentist must be detail oriented. The smallest misalignment of something in the mouth can wreak havoc on a patient’s bite and tooth health. An ideal dentist would talk to you in details about the tiniest of the things that he is observing and going to work on your mouth.
Artistic
Dentistry is an art, period. It requires incredible mastery and ever upgrading techniques at all times, and that makes it a unique profession. Dentistry is not only based on maintaining proper oral health, but is also an aesthetically focused practice. A large part of dentistry involves restoring teeth and making a smile beautiful, one that the patient is happy to show to others. An ideal dentist is the one who knows how important a patient’s smile is and works towards getting it perfect, minute by minute. See what Dr. Jindia has been able to do with his patients on this before and after page.
Leadership
Dentists may own or work as practitioners within a practice, so they often are natural leaders. They must not only lead a team of dental hygienists, technicians and assistants, but must also manage any other employees, such as the receptionist, while also making high-level business decisions for the practice. Dr. Jindia leads a great team, click here to know all about them.
Passionate
An ideal dentist enjoys the work they do every day and are fascinated by the mouth and all of the connections it has to the rest of the body. Like Dr. Jindia, an ideal Dentist participates in community service, helping those in need with oral care and treatment. Many dentists enjoy helping those with no access to care receive treatments for painful or unattractive parts of their mouths. Dr. Jindia has been to several poverty struck countries and provided free dental care like extractions and implants.
Empathetic
Because dentists work in a very small and sensitive space of the body, a good dentist communicates with the patient during every step of a procedure, making sure they are okay and not in too much pain. An ideal dentist goes to great lengths to make their patients comfortable and relaxed without pain.
Communicative
An ideal dentist has a keen ability to distill complex procedures and processes into simple language so that the patient can understand exactly what is going on in his or her mouth and any procedures that they suggest. Dr. Jindia at Elite Care Dental goes into details of the treatment with his patients and they have nothing but great things to talk about him. See their video testimonials here.
