Long Waiting Lines at Dentists

[Vu Le]

When you meet someone for the first time, the first thing you will notice is the person’s eyes followed by the teeth and lastly the hair. The other person too will notice the same things about you. Ironically, people are willing to spend more money on their hair rather than their teeth and this would explain why many people often have gum problems, cavities and other dental problems. Of course, even dentists need to take responsibility for this.

It has become a common for patients to get appointments after months. According to available statistics, most dental patients have to wait as long as five months, sometimes even longer, just to see a dentist; and thereafter the waiting list goes up to over a year just to get into the dentist’s chair! This may sound funny, but people suffering from dental problems and toothache do not find the situation hilarious. On the contrary, the long waiting lines and the high cost of seeing a dentist are some of the reasons why people put off visiting a dentist. In fact, one in five people suffering from teeth problems either try and put off going to a dentist or do not go at all due to the high costs involved.

The long waiting lines at dentists are not that dentists are unwilling to give appointments. Rather it has to do with supply and demand. The number of dentists is not keeping pace with the number of patients.  With large number of baby boomers retiring and with more awareness about oral hygiene, people want to visit dentists, but the number of dentists are unable to cope with the workload. Hence, the long waiting lines at dentists.

That was a very interesting post about the importance of having healthy white teeth and thereby, a beautiful smile. The article also outlined the responsibilities of a dentist and why, they people have to stay in queue for such long periods. I am also from the same profession and fully understand the situation.
