Facing Dental Anxieties

Attitude is Everything

About 4 years ago, I went through a very bad business situation while working for another dentist/dental practice. This led me to having a negative attitude and outlook. The last few years of my life, I have been mentored, coached, counseled and have read many books about attitude.

What exactly is attitude and why write a blog about it on your website about dentistry?

Attitude is a noun that is defined as:

Most Dental Problems are Silent

Daily, I get asked from patients, if I am not having pain, why do I have to get a filling?

Like cancer and heart disease in the body, most dental problems are silent. Lets look at a few silent dental problems.

Cavities

To know or not...

Today I had to go to the Dermatologist to get some bumps on my thighs that had developed over the last few years The Dermatologist thought they were lipomas (a non cancerous tumor that is made up of fat) It was optional to get them removed, they were not hurting, but I didn't want to take any chances. (In my business, just because it doesn't hurt doesn't mean nothing's wrong, so I took the same philosophy in this situation ) It had taken me 8 months to get in and get this done. It was mainly fear that held me from not going in for so long.
