Five factors which make a good dentist

Here at Ascent Dental Care Tamworth we strive to be the best and aim to treat our customers all as individuals by providing a quality service delivered in a professional and friendly way. Just see our dental awards for evidence of this.

BUT, have you ever actually stopped to think what makes a dentist good at their work? In this blog post, we will consider what are accepted to be some common factors:

1) Clean working area.

Everyone knows that first impressions count, and as far as dentists are concerned, this is as much about their treatment room as it is about them as a person / people. Imagine walking into dentist’s room, where it is totally cluttered or things not clean. Beyond being unprofessional and potentially dangerous, this gives a first impression something close to not being bothered or not caring. Hardly likely to make a good welcome, is it?!

2) Listening.

Listening skills are important in many if not all jobs, but especially and highly so for those in which personal ‘medical’ work is being undertaken like dentistry. The patient needs to feel like they are being heard, understood, and a response / action given based on those two things. A dentist or any professional who doesn’t listen is simply not respecting their patient and this is a quick way for trust to dissolve.

4) You are unique.

As you saw from our ‘opening statement’ we aim to treat all customers as individuals – we believe that this is a fundamental principle. We may all have teeth, but there are variations and differences between us all. These differences need to be dealt with on a case by case, one by one basis, and this can only be done if someone is treated as unique. Everyones experiences and stories are different and this also adds weight to the fact that all customers are and should be treated as individuals.
