#3. Humbleness is the Key

Most of us have met some of the successful people in our life.

What is the most positive point in their personality?

It is in spite of achieving so much and becoming so successful in society; they are very humble (down to earth).

So, you want to be successful and uplift dentistry.

Then Be Humble & Thankful & Smiling

Moreover, please don’t have a Poke Face & Attitude Like the Pic above.

This attitude always makes even easy tasks difficult.

I am fortunate to learn Oral Implantology from the best dentist in Chandigarh.

The doctor is so polite with his patients.

Although a significant name himself. However, he always talks to each and everyone with much respect.

We are Indians and it is our culture to greet everyone with folded hands (Namastey).

Then how can we be impolite (sometimes rude) to our patient?

One should respect the patient (irrespective of whether he/she is rich/poor) as a guest at our clinic

(Atithi Devo Bhava).

Remember: If you are impolite to people and patients, your practice will never be successful.

Conclusion: Like any profession in the world Dentistry is also getting more and more competitive with time. That does not mean the doors to success are getting closed. Remember dentistry is a profession that is based on the trust of the patient. Once the patients have faith in you, then they are inevitably going to refer you when they think about a dentist.

Also, you need to respect and take care of your fellow dentists. The three points we discussed above, will go a long way in uplifting dentistry if followed seriously.
