I have always wondered about this - why do some people tend to consider dentists as evil entities? Why do they have an inherent fear of dental practitioners? Is it because of the pains that are induced on the patients? Alternatively, is it because of something else? Anyway, I will be outlining the importance of these dentists. Believe me when I say this - you are going to like these personalities once you realize their importance in the modern...more

The cosmetic dentist needs a number of skills. He or she, for one, has to be well grounded in general dentistry. They also need some rather specialized skills in some specific areas of dentistry. Here we are looking at the likes of orthodontics (seeing that a considerable percentage of their patients will be presenting with teeth alignment issues), as well as higher than average knowledge of dental pharmacology. The latter is the case because the other major category of problems they will be encountering, that of teeth coloring issues, mostly have chemical solutions: the various teeth whiteners. A good knowledge of prosthodontics might help too, as the other category of patients who seek the cosmetic dentist's help are those that are looking for teeth restoration solutions.Now the fact that a dentist should have all the aforementioned skills is quite obvious. What may not be very obvious, though, is the fact that a cosmetic dentist also needs some good counseling skills.In order to understand why the cosmetic dentist needs good counseling skills, it would be worth having insight as to why people seek the help of cosmetic dentistry, in the first place. And while things like the...more

When most of us first hear about dentists, the first idea that comes into our minds is that of 'sadistic' professionals, who seem to get some joy from inflicting pain on other people. Of course, it may not be a conscious thought, but deep down, we know that is how we tend to view dentists. It is this view that makes trips to dentists a worrisome...more
Many people who seek the various healthcare services provided by dentists often express an interest in knowing how these professionals work out their charges. It is easy to understand where this interest comes from, especially when you take into consideration the fact that it is easy to get the same service, from two different dentists and at absolutely different rates.Definitely, charges for dentists' services are not like the prices for most products (the service is a product, in the business sense), which tend to be more or less constant across the respective sectors. The end result is where, for instance, one dentist could charge you some $100 for a 'tooth extraction' service, with another one, within the same town, charging you some $200 for the same service. It gets even more interesting when we look at special services like teeth whitening and teeth straightening, where the variations in charges can be spectacular.It is all this, then, that leads to the question as to how dentists work out their charges.And as it turns out, there are a number of factors that dentists take into consideration, in determining their charges. What is worth keeping in mind though, is the fact that...more
