yupiiii !!! probably thats what came to your mind ! Am I right???
Yes ! Usually that is what comes to our minds !
According to Daniel Kahneman, the author of the book thinking fast and slow( its a must read !) , usually when you think very fast , you think according to your intuition , and that many times is apelative and wrong.
When I saw this , I said to my self: THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WHEN THEY HEAR THE WORD DENTIST !
If you tell someone you are going to the dentist they immediately think : oh..poor you….
SO… My job is to dismistify the dentist thing !
If you are able to get the conscious that is very important to control you sugary diet, brush and floss, and you keep your regular hygiene appointments ( here in Brazil they are still made by us, dentists) . Probably you are elected to have a blessed “going to the dentist” .
I want to show patients that it is possible to go to the dentist for cleaning and minor interventions . I repeat : if cavities are treated while in enamel , many times we can do a composite feeling with no anesthesia.
With that being said , I like engaging my patients in keeping the hygiene and coming to the office just to catch up, watch an episode at appletv , a concert, or just turn on the massage at the chair , put on a shady glass and RELAX . Trust me, you will sleep while having treatment done !
