What Could Be Worse: Bad Breath Or A Dentist You Hate Going To

There are a lot of things, which come to mind when one thinks about dentistry. Two of those may be the cost of dental care, which I have focused on, in previous posts and also bad breath which is something that we all dead with everyday, either directly or indirectly. Seeing how these two topics revolve around dentistry, I chose to share with my readers in today’s post two comments, which I left on two other blogs. The first post, which inspired me to leave a comment, was from the blog, Dental Care – Smile Your Way and more specifically the post titled, “Get Ride of Your Bad Breath”. The second post, which I made a comment on dealt with the cost of dentistry coming from San Francisco Cosmetic Dentistry – Dr. Bernstien’s Blog and the post titled, “Comfort is the Highest Priority”.

"Get Ride of Your Bad Breath"
Comment:
I like how you began with the little story. I cant remember how many times i have began a conversation with somebody just to be hit with their bad breath and in turn not be able to escape until they finished talking. I have also though that even though it would be good to tell somebody that their breath is bad, they might get insulted so I never really mentioned it. As a pre-dental student and the son of a dentist, i have learned about all the ways things one can do to eliminated bad breath and i like how you mentioned that toward the bottom of your post. In all, good post and just another reminded to all the readers out there, brush, floss and use mouthwash at least twice a day to keep the bad breath away.

“Comfort is the Highest Priority”

I agree with your post completely. As a pre-dental student and the son of a dentist I have always thought about and discussed with my father many different ways by which a Dentist may provide the highest level of comfort for patients. Other than being a well qualified dentist and obviously being able to perform the required procedures, a dentist must provide comfort for his or her patients if he or she wants them to come back in the future for all their other dental needs. If a dentist can do the procedures, but doesn't provide a comfortable atmosphere for the patient and make the patient feel comfortable, the patient will be looking for another dentist for future oral care.
