Because we listen carefully to what the patient complains of, there is a possibility that the patient cannot accept the doctor, has a problem, has a bad experience from something specific, the anesthetic injection, and the pain that accompanies it, the syringe poke. The secret is in the diagnosis session with the specialized doctor and that is why we give the first session of the patient the most importance. Q3: First, of course, no one likes dentists, and a lot of people are usually frightened from the visit because of the pain, old experiences, and the procedure itself regarding the many devices used. How do you make patients feel comfortable, safe and relaxed while working with you? The second option is if the treatment plan is not appropriate for the patient based on studies, then I tell him or her I will not proceed with the treatment at all.Īs a dentist, you may have to treat patients who are deeply uncomfortable or even afraid of getting dental work done.

If they got convinced, then great, if they weren’t convinced I start showing them the result before I start working as a mock up, digitally or analog or even with pictures on the computer if they got convinced I proceed with my suggested treatment plan, if they weren’t convinced I have two options which are if the treatment is acceptable but I do not see it as the best option, the patient signs a consent sheet that they want to proceed with their chosen treatment plan even after every other option was thoroughly explained to them. I also talk to them in depth about the treatment plan, even if it is going to take an hour in the first session. In addition, I would also point out the pros and cons of the treatment. Therefore, if they see that a certain treatment plan is right for them and I see otherwise and is not 100% right or right for his/her case, I explain to them all the options. Q2: When a patient is not convinced with their treatment plan or when him/her have a certain point of view and they have been around and asked. What would you do if a patient disagreed with your assessment of his or her dental health? The joy the patient has is considered the greatest achievement of my career.

In addition, if the patient had a problem for a while and has been to several dentists and could not solve it, and we were the reason to solve it, provide the proper treatment plan and treat him/her.

Q1: The greatest success as a dentist to me is when I see the patient’s joy after his life has changed, whether it is because we gave him/her a smile makeover or a new smile. What is your greatest success as a dentist?
