Nine out of ten dentists agree on most things. But the tenth dentist—Dr. James Silvera, DDS—stubbornly refuses to get with the program. He remains the lone outlier on issues ranging from braces and whitening to Novocaine and denture adhesives. Dr. Silvera describes himself as a contrarian and free thinker, but the other nine dentists agree that he is “an idiot,” “an embarrassment to the profession,” and “an asshole who just wants attention.”
“He’s giving dentistry a bad name,” said third dentist Dr. Mary Robertson, DDS. “It looks terrible when we can’t come to a consensus on stuff like what toothpastes are effective and how often people should floss.” Dr. Robertson’s eight like-minded colleagues nodded approvingly.
“What would you think about physics,” added sixth dentist Dr. Allen Greenberg, DDS, “if you heard only nine out of ten physicists believed in gravity?”

Dr. Silvera, who uses a Linux operating system on his computer and has voted for Ross Perot as a write-in candidate in the last five presidential elections, said he doesn’t believe in conformity and asked whether you would jump off a bridge just because nine out of ten dentists told you to.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a longtime patient of Dr. Silvera confirmed that he is a good dentist, but described the selection of magazines in his waiting room as “bizarre,” his office decor as “neo-surrealist,” and the outfit worn by his receptionist as “obscene.”

Dr. Silvera did not respond to a request to confirm or deny allegations that he took a year off from dental school to attend Clown College.

ReplyDeleteThe dentist should offer comprehensive dental procedures and an abundance of helpful information about teeth whitening, including a healthy diet and lifestyle. "While many dentists specialize in just one procedure, such as teeth whitening, you want a dentist who offers a full array of services," says Smith. "Your family dentist may be able to refer you to a cosmetic dentist who offers many options for improving your smile. He or she can also help patients to choose from a variety of teeth whitening products.

ReplyDeleteWhen choosing a family dentist, it is also important to consider his/her personality. Dental health is an important part of a person's overall personality. If your family dentist is strict and demands compliance, or if he/she expresses irritation or disapproval of certain procedures or items, this should alert you to the possibility that the dental office you choose may not be the best place for you and/or your family. It may also mean that you need to find a dentist who is more understanding and compassionate.

ReplyDeleteAnother important aspect to consider is whether your family dentist accepts your insurance. If you and/or your family have any insurance, it is important to ask if your family dentist accepts your insurance policy. You do not want to be stuck paying dentist fees out of pocket because your family dentist does not accept your insurance. If you do not have insurance coverage, it is important to check with your employer and see if they cover the cost of services you may need. Many dental offices also offer payment plans, allowing patients to pay a small amount up front so that any dental work can be paid for in a timely manner.
