Dentistry is procedure based. Generally speaking, we do all kinds of procedures to fix problems with the teeth, gums and jaws. That’s what dental school trained us to do. With the exception of some newer “medical model” treatments, most dentists spend their days doing fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, placing implants, making removable prostheses and doing periodontal therapy.

Often in my Facebook dental forum, The Dental Marketing Project , I hear stories from office managers who are expressing frustrations about dealing with reluctant team members. Members of the group always give these Office Managers fabulous feedback on how to handle these problems, but as I read the advice, I can’t help but think that it is heard by the wrong ears.

I had two patient interactions this week that got under my skin. I hesitate slightly to write about them because they may come across as petty to some. But I think they illustrate an interesting perception about dentists and maybe health care providers in general. The first thing was a patient that came in with “an emergency.” In my office, the patient gets to decide what an emergency is.

I spend a lot of my time talking to young dentists and frequently there is a common theme to some of things I hear, such as: ‘Reena, I am always hitting snooze in the mornings!’. ‘I know I shouldn’t but I skip breakfast as I never have time anymore’. ‘I spend my lunch break catching up with patient notes’. ‘I don’t go out in the evenings anymore as I’m just too tired after work’.
