WHY I LOVE GOING TO THE DENTIST
First I want to say I’m so thankful that I was able to pay for my dental services today! This economy is no joke and I’m grateful to be able to take care of my teeth.
The hygienist that worked with me today was gentle, and so kind. 🦷🪥
But I love going to the dentist because 👇🏾
• This is the obvious but I want to keep my teeth. I value them and want to take care of them the best way possible especially while I’m still young.
• I can advocate for myself now, any red flags I’m out. When I was younger I had bad anxiety going to the dentist because a hygienist was so mean to me and rough. ( I didn’t tell my mama ).
. It always make me feel like a responsible adult or like I’m doing something at the least right. It’s like a small accomplishment lol because I put what I can into my HSA and use it to pay for my services.
How do you feel about the dentist?
Ps do you know of any entry level jobs you can share that would be good for introverts in the dentist field. I looked into sterilize tech but I may need to be certified for that? If you have anymore information or one yourself please provide more info to me 🫶🏽🦷
Visiting the dentist is often viewed with trepidation, but it can be a crucial step in maintaining your overall health. Regular check-ups not only prevent tooth decay and gum disease, but they also contribute to your general well-being. By prioritizing dental visits, you actively take charge of your health, fostering a sense of responsibility and empowerment. Navigating through dental anxiety is possible; many now seek stress-free services through gentle hygienists or sedation options. Furthermore, understanding dental jobs can open new avenues for those interested in the field, especially for introverts. Positions such as dental assistants or sterilization technicians offer roles that allow for quieter, supportive interactions within the dental office while contributing significantly to patient care. Certifications may be required for certain roles, but many clinics provide training opportunities which can ease entry into the profession. In a time where self-care is paramount, routine dental visits not only help in maintaining your smile but also provide a platform for personal advocacy and health education. As you continue to nurture your dental health, consider sharing your experiences and tips for others facing similar journeys. Your story can inspire and help others transform their perceptions about dental visits.
