4 Things A Good Dentist Does

No matter if you've visited the dentist a thousand (though we certainly hope not!) times or only a handful, there are certain things you need to remember when visiting a dentist. Though these may not be directly connected with your mouth, these things are the characteristics that set a good dentist apart from the rest. 

These things can make or break a deal with a client and can help put him at ease as well. Here's a list of the four things that every good dentist does that can help a client tell them apart from the rest of the sea:

1) They're Interested in What You Want To Say:

A good dentist will always be interested in what you're feeling. They might have their hand in your mouth but they know that you know how that feels so they will always be interested in how you would like your teeth and how you're feeling about them.

HYPERDONTIA! What's with these Super-duper teeth?

Hyperdontia is an abnormal oral condition of having supernumerary teeth (i.e teeth that appear in addition to the regular number of teeth). What does this mean? Under normal circumstance, there are supposed to be 20 primary/milk teeth in young children (at least below the age of 12), and 32 permanent teeth in adults (21 years and above). In a situation where the milk teeth of a young child now exceeds 20 and the permanent teeth of an adult exceeds 32, the excess teeth are referred to as supernumerary teeth. These teeth are more common in permanent teeth than in primary teeth. The teeth can appear in any area of the dental arch and can affect any dental organ.
