Why not give your customers lessons in how to prevent the issues
that make your service necessary?
This is a Dental practice with lessons in care and what to eat and
special tools available to allow you to do your own Dental work.
Baked?

Ah, don't all dental practices do this already? Every
time I go to the hygienist, I get quizzed about my
brushing and eating habits, and told what I should
and shouldn't be doing. |
|
| |
My last dentist did the same thing. |
|
| |
I am fairly certain that all dentists and dental
hygienists do this. |
|
| |
// tools available to allow you to do your own

|
| |
We will pay a dollar to watch that.
Presumably the kit includes a Dremel, a
mirror, and a pair of snipe-nose pilers. |
|
| |
The DeLuxe version has lidocaine … |
|
| |
Alas, I must agree with [MB]. Besides which a lot of
the so called tools may be bought at a pharmacy. |
|
| |
Now that I've read the idea, I see that [JHC] is
advocating actual DIY dentistry, rather than mere
cleaning. |
|
| |
I don't see self-dentistry as viable, except certain portions of extended cleaning, which would require a micro-minicam/waldo/tool thing, which is its own post. |
|
| |
I don't see why autodentisty should be especially
problematic. It would take a while to get used to
the left-right reversal (if working mirrorically), but it
shouldn't be that much harder than shaving or
applying mascara. |
|
| |
^ well, true except for the actual "dentistry" bit: X-rays, fillings, crowns, appliances, etc. |
|
| |
What difficulties, pray tell, do you envisage? |
|
| |
Self-xrays are a challenge but not insurmountable, especially if you purchase the advanced starter kit. |
|
| |
All the rest of it is micro-sculpture that any obsessive-compulsive type could master, and recent advances in two-part compound technology and laser-activated bonding agents simplify this for layman applications. |
|
| |
Wait a minute - I didn't like this idea. What the hell am I saying? |
|
| |
I don't see why it should be any harder to work on
your own mouth than on someone else's, given
suitable mirrors or cameras. |
|
| |
Certainly an application for 3d printers, however I'd like to see a home trepanning kit(buy one now and we'll throw in a set of lobotomy needles) on the market first, to weed out the ones that are more interested in the DIY aspect than dentistry. |
|
| |
What's your address, we'll get that couriered to you by tomorrow. |

Leopold Ritter von Sacher-Masoch would be so proud. As would the
intercalary twin, and your Step-Great-Uncle Mandelstein. |
|
| |
I didn't like this idea at first but it's growing on me. |
|
| |
I'm pretty sure that if I had administered my own freezing for my last filling exchange I would still have full feeling/taste on the right side of my tongue and, cold beer wouldn't taste like a copper flavored ice-cream headache on that side of my skull. |
|
| |
...not to mention that time I had an abscessed tooth cracked in three and yanked un-frozen with a waiting room full of little kids. |
|
| |
or that other time when... but I digress.
I'm liking this idea more and more. |
|
| |
I don't think one can do their own root canal
removal, but you can tie a string around your tooth
and the other end to a door, then slam the door and
viola- your tooth can be pulled out. (providing it is
already rotting or somewhat loose.) |
|
| |
//Leopold Ritter von Sacher-Masoch would be so

|
| |
Due to a rather strange series of events in the
Buchanan family past, the intercalary twin _is_ my
step-great-uncle. However, the intercalary's name is
not Mandelstein. |
|
| |
Don't obfuscate, everyone knows perfectly well that you have a whole
pack (swarm ? pride ? mob ? einsatzgruppen ?) of step-great-uncles,
at least two great step-uncles (possibly still three, if the antitoxin
injections were administered in time) and one Uncle Great-Stephan. |
