When Am I Happy As A Dentist?
I am happy when I make patient's teeth match just like the person who owns it. I believe that beautiful person should have beautiful teeth. I think smart people should have smart teeth. I think healthy people should have healthy teeth. . . Well, you've got the idea.
I don't know how many times I see the gap between the teeth and the person who owns it(pun intended). Often I see an immaculately dressed or brilliant person walks in (which, by the way, are a lot in Westchester, NY) and I see their poor teeth. If I take photograph of the teeth and try an imaginary matching game of the teeth and the person who owns it, I wouldn't be able to to. Because often the picture of teeth doesn't belong to the person at all. Often I wonder if the person truly know how their teeth looks like. After all, no one showed me my mouth closely through photography before I got into the dental school.
Yellow teeth seems to show others that you might have bad back teeth or you don't really care of your health. In comparison, when your teeth are porcelain white, (it gives off as fake) at least it doesn't look unhealthy. I got sad when I see someone who looks worse than their actual teeth are. With magic wand, I wish I could fix the teeth instantly and tell the person that you now have no reason to be afraid of smile for life! When I see any person who smile fake or doesn't smile because of their bad teeth, I know it can be fixed. Modern dentistry is just as amazing as any apple iphone.
If you don't want to be bothered like billionare, Paul Allen or Madonna, that's another story. You can get away with bad teeth if you are that famous or rich. But I really see no reason for normal people to live with that condition. You really don't have to. . . I am not sure how much the person knows what can be done and why would anyone to live with it as you see in their smile like singer Jewel or actress Kernst Durnst. Woopi Goldberg has it. Sharon Stone has it. Hilary Clinton has it. So many people own bad teeth.
