Human teeth are evidence that the theory of "intelligent design" is not
the product of an observant mind. Humans are the only creatures who must
cook their food--otherwise, our soft enamel just wears right down. We
have "wisdom teeth" that take up too much space in our jaws and must be
extracted. The list of dental defects goes on and on--and those defects
produce everything from tooth pain to general headaches. The point of this opening observation is we all either should or do spend time at the dentist's office. I have an outstanding dentist with an outstanding office staff. Consequently, I have just about zero wait when I arrive for an appointment. But I have had other dentists, and I have experienced the waiting that goes well past the appointment time. My previous dentist once made me wait nearly two hours--after I had waited several months to get in! So, here are some tips to save time at the dentist's office:
Of course, the best way to reduce time at the dentist is to reduce the work the dentist has to do. Here are some tips on that:
And finally, don't smoke. This insane practice damages gum tissue, and it causes all kinds of other problems. Even if you don't value your teeth, think of the effect on your brain. Smoking is great for those who want to lower their IQs (do a yahoo search on this subject, if you--for some reason--doubt this). For the rest of us, it's not a good idea. You can apply all of the above to your doctor, as well--just change the tooth care details to body care details. And remember that doctors and dentists are there primarily to handle the disease--caring for your health is up to you. Every minute spent on healthcare saves you hours of disease care. |
