Being a different kind of Los Angeles dentist
2016
Have you ever thought about what kind of dentist you want to be – and not in the ‘I want to be a princess when I grow up’ sort of way, more of a ‘how do I want people to feel when they leave my consultation room’ kind of way. Every dentist wants to work hard at making sure that their patients feel better physically, but what about the emotional ramifications that often go alongside the physical changes, for better or for worse? This is where being a different kind of dentist is something that we think dentists should strive for: a dentist who is not just preoccupied with wondering whether or not that infection can copy with a root canal, but whether a patient feels happy and confident in the way that their teeth and mouth looks.
This is something that Dr Howard Katz has focused on for much of his dental career, leading him to create a training course for dentists that could quickly change your approach to your patients’ cosmetic appearance. Dentox is a training programme that teaches dentists to administer Botox and other types of dermal fillers so that you can offer your patients so much more than the standard physical fix up. What about patients who are deeply insecure and unhappy about the way that their faces look, and do not have anyone else to turn to?
Being a dentist is to hold a position of trust, and when a patient who trusts you comes to you and asks for help in improving their emotional wellbeing and confidence, you want to be able to have the skills in order to do exactly that. Here in Los Angeles the Dentox training program is being offered to dentists in the area so that you can do just that, and be a different kind of dentist.
