Annoyed and discouraged with the prospect of the lecture / how to react to it?
Good afternoon, everyone!
I must confess that, I guess, my worst dental fear is this whole “dental lecture”… I mean, all these “If you had come here earlier, I wouldn’t have so much work to do in your mouth!”
Yeah, I know it’s maybe true as I don’t come for the check-up often but… Gosh…! Really… All my life situation is not so easy. I don’t want to complain but I suffer from four-limbed spastic cerebral palsy, I can’t walk, I need almost constant help from other people (most often from my Parents), every month I struggle with strong premenstrual syndrome and all these matters are really debilitating for me.
And almost all of the dentists that I’ve met in my life were reading me a lecture or, at least, reproach me that “You come too rarely” or “This or that is bad”.
Argh! For goodness sake – why?! Though dentists are for helping people, not for scolding them as early as from the doorstep of the office. Or maybe just I am too great idealist?
While it’s true that I’d rather don’t expect chiding from my current Dentist… Erm, my question is how to react if it nevertheless will happen? How do you cope with such situations?
Personally, I feel like answering, “Well… You can play only the way your adversary allows you” as Polish football coach, Kazimierz Górski, once said.
