There are no dentists in American hospitals. If you want to see a dentist, you must make an appointment at the local dentist's office first.
that's what they said and did.
Next, I will share with you what I have seen in American dental clinics.
American dental clinics are more suitable than clinics.
In addition to the work area, the clinic has a reading lounge, and books that can be picked up and read at will are placed on bookshelves and coffee tables. There are free coffee, refreshments and sweets. Some dental clinics also have internet lounges, so customers are not lonely while waiting, and they can reply emails to the company or family and friends, which is a good way to pass the time.
this is the Dr.Tommy clinic I have been to. Take a picture first to see the external environment. Surrounded by trees, the environment is quiet.
patients must make an appointment in advance, usually about one month. Sometimes the doctor's schedule is full, and it takes 2-3 months to make an appointment. A trusted dentist is worth waiting for. I have a deep understanding. Dr.Tommy is one of them.
this window is used to register for consultation and payment, etc. It is equivalent to the registration and charging office of domestic hospitals. While registering the information, the staff will chat with you with all smiles, making you feel as easy-going and natural as at home.
The layout of the house is very warm. snowshoes on the wall reveal Tommy's preference, hiking in the snow. The photo on the left shows Tommy and his family on vacation at the seaside. Tommy has a big shark on his shoulder. Dr.Tommy smiles with neat white teeth, which makes people unforgettable. His two children are cute and cute, and the younger daughter smiles innocently when she is changing her teeth, and the whole family is happy. Americans like to show family photos in the living room or on the wall. These photos seem to make people feel good, and when they look in their eyes, the smile in their hearts slowly ripples. Invisible also shortened the distance with Dr.Tommy
Seen from the corridor, there are water skis, also known as water skis, which are common in water skiing. It can be seen that Dr.Tommy likes sports very much.
at the end of this photo is the workshop.
on the left is the model room, and on the right is the treatment room.
sitting in the dental chair in the treatment room, the outdoor scenery is unobstructed. Under the blue sky and white snow, the green Woods occasionally see birds passing by.
this is the doctor's office.
this photo reflects the work area. Every dentist's office has multiple assistants. They are absolutely four-handed when they work. As soon as this instrument is used up, the assistant hands over the next instrument to be used. The cooperation between the doctor and the assistant is quite tacit. While working, don't forget to pay attention to the emotional changes of patients. Are you ok? This tone is often talked about.
Generally, a general dentist has 3-4 dental chairs, 2 dental assistants, 1 office manager and 1 dentist.
Dentists usually give patients a comprehensive examination, and then they will provide a detailed treatment plan according to the patient's situation. The doctor turned on the computer and looked at the patient's X-ray to explain that there was something wrong with the patient and how to treat it. Every step should pay attention to those problems. Until the patients and their families understand. The whole process was very patient and friendly.
During my treatment, the dentist's assistant put on a headset and listened to music. Let me relax completely. Mr. Wang was chatting with them. They discussed Thanksgiving food, kitchen decoration and talked all over the world. American dentists give me the feeling that they can interact with patients and their families too much. In addition to high-end professional standards, doctors always have a smile on their faces and a friendly tone of voice without losing humor. Patients and their families are like a spring breeze.
Of course, dentists are businessmen and independent self-employed. They hire assistants, secretaries and train dental hygienists. Dentists should provide medical insurance and other benefits for their employees. The United States has strict requirements for licensed dentists, who must complete the courses of accredited dental universities and colleges and successfully master all clinical abilities and national committee examinations. Some states, such as new york, also require dentists to complete the postgraduate residence plan exam. The income of dentists is considerable. After all, it is a technical job. Among them, patients' trust and word-of-mouth communication are extremely important to clinics and dentists themselves.
Dentists and assistants are good at getting on well with each patient, and word-of-mouth communication of patients will bring a steady stream of customers. Not only that, in order to make patients comfortable, the clinic is warmly and comfortably arranged. Please look at the picture below, which is the clinic reading lounge.
The reading area is located in the living room where you enter the door. The living room is full of books that you can get at your fingertips. The sunshine came in from the French window, and the way grandma read quietly touched me deeply. I couldn't help taking a picture of her. She smiled tolerantly at my rudeness, and then lowered her head to read quietly. This centenarian grandmother was mentioned in my original article. The way you read deeply touched me. In the process of waiting, I also find a corner and read quietly.
American dental clinics have a very fine division of labor. Every doctor has different responsibilities. The first step in the clinic is to take X-rays and make a diagnosis. If the patient is not within the scope of the doctor's treatment, it will be recommended to another clinic doctor. I belong to such a situation.
Dr.Tommy specializes in orthodontics (braces). Once a patient has cavities or periodontitis, he must first receive basic dental treatment. And then go back to Dr.Tommy for orthodontics
I have three teeth that are very bad. In this case, Dr.Tommy recommended me to another clinic, Dennis J.Perrot. Dennis J.Perrot clinic is as warm and comfortable as Dr.Tommy clinic. No pictures will be sent here to describe them one by one.
Dennis J.Perrot is a French immigrant. Pierre Fauchard of France Pierre? Focha is called' the father of modern dentistry'. I wonder if Dennis J.Perrot is a descendant of Pierre Fauchard? American dentists were brought to America by European immigrants. After a series of development, standardized management was gradually formed.
Dennis J.Perrot has two assistants, both very Nice. The clinic is responsible for the basic work of teeth, tooth cleaning, gum restoration and root canal treatment. If the mouth is like a building, Dennis J.Perrot's job is to stabilize the foundation and lay a solid foundation for building a high-rise building.
What impressed me most is that American dentists attach great importance to flossing and tooth whitening. Help patients improve their smiles.
As the clinic said:
The clinic recommends that you floss after brushing your teeth, and use a brush between your teeth. For the convenience of patients, specially designed dental floss with handle, the assistant will teach them how to brush their teeth, how to use dental floss and interdental brush. I go to Dennis J.Perrot every other month to have my teeth checked. The dental clinic will have an email reminder before the appointment every month, and the service is very comprehensive.
Some dentists in China are gradually moving closer to the world. In 212, when I was still working in a real estate company, Dr. Li found me, rented three pavements and set up a high-end dental clinic. It also created the most beautiful landscape in that row of pavements. People with vision are always at the forefront of the world. Good environment, good service and cutting-edge treatment are popular with the public after all.
I'd like to share with you here that the dental clinics I saw in the United States, on the one hand, help us to reflect on ourselves, on the other hand, each of us tries our best to pass on a good value, even if it only affects one person, China will be very different tomorrow.
