When you sit down for your consultation, Dr. White will casually bring out the Scare-O-Meter - a towering, buzzing machine with flashing lights and a dial that looks suspiciously like it was borrowed from a failed sci-fi movie set. As the doctor describes potential dental disasters, watch the dial swing dramatically from "Maybe Next Year" to "Immediate Oral Apocalypse"!
So, don’t wait until your teeth decide to plot their own destruction. Visit Dr. Pearly White’s Dental Emporium, where the Scare-O-Meter makes your treatment needs as clear as your x-rays. Remember, it’s not fear-mongering if it’s for your health!
If you tilt your head to the right, you're actually going to come off more trustworthy. Now, I might be looking to the left, but I'm probably a mirrored image of you right now. However, if I look the left, which I'm probably looking, looks like I'm looking to the right because I'm a mirrored image of you. Then, I'm actually more mysterious and more sexy. So, if you really want a gal that really like you, or if you're in a meeting, and you really want them to know that you're really there for them, and very trustworthy as you're talking to them, slightly lean your head to the right. It'll show them that you're very trustworthy and easy to deal with.
When presenting, actually pay attention to where the patient's feet are pointing. If the feet are pointing towards the door or towards the exit of the operatory, it actually means that they want out - that they're simply just sitting there and listening to you. If the hands are crossed and their feet are pointing in the direction of, getting a like out, from away from you, they want to get away. On the other hand, if their feet, if you guys are facing towards each other, and your feet are actually pointing towards one another, that's actually a good sign. So, really, basically, wherever the patient's feet are, or whoever you're talking to, in general, wherever their feet are pointing, that's actually, exactly, kind of a subconscious idea of where they want to go.
... so we really want to make sure that we're using the body language to kind of get ahead of the game. The eyebrow raise the eyebrow raise is actually like this - simply like that, it just gives you the idea, gives the the patient that you're talking to on a primal subconscious level that you are a friend and not a foe...
For example... The more that I show my palms to you, my open palms, the more subconsciously I'm telling you that I have nothing to hide. So, if you've kind of been noticing throughout this presentation I use my hands a lot. I'm showing you my palms a lot. I'm actually communicating to you on a subconscious level that you, there's nothing to worry about, I'm your friend.
1. The Compliment Sandwich, Hold the Compliments: Start and end with vague, non-committal noises that might be construed as agreement, but ensure the filling is a well-timed, "Actually, Dr. Smith usually recommends the other brand of toothpaste," ensuring your doubt in their recommendation is clear but sandwiched in ambiguity.
2. The Art of Selective Hearing: Perfect the art of misunderstanding directions in such a way that it requires the doctor to repeat themselves several times, preferably in an increasingly loud voice, in front of the patient. This not only questions their communication skills but also their patience.
3. The Prodigal Student: Casually drop into conversation how, at the last conference you attended, the leading experts presented findings that directly contradict the doctor's current approach. Phrase it as a question to feign innocence.
4. Unsolicited Second Opinions: After the doctor has given their diagnosis, chime in with, "Oh, interesting choice of treatment. I read an article just last night arguing that's an outdated approach. But what do I know, right?" Smile sweetly.
5. The Concerned Confidante: Express your concerns to the patient about the doctor's decisions when they step out of the room, but insist, "Don't tell them I said anything. I'm just looking out for you."
6. The Expert By Association: Frequently reference how your previous place of employment did things differently, implying it was the superior method. Bonus points if you can name-drop a well-known practitioner as your mentor.
7. The Public Reminder: In a room full of patients, loudly remind the doctor of basic tasks or checklists. "Don't forget to wash your hands, Doctor!" As if it's a novel idea they hadn't considered.
8. The Passive-Aggressive Professional: Perfect your ability to offer help in a way that insinuates the doctor can't manage without you. "Would you like me to explain the procedure to the patient, or do you think you've got it this time?"
9. The Social Media Savant: Take to social media to share articles that subtly undermine the doctor's methods, tagging the office in every post. Ensure your privacy settings allow for "colleagues" to see these educational posts.
10. The Master of Misquotes: "Oh, I could have sworn you said to schedule them for a root canal, not a regular cleaning. My bad!" Ensure this mix-up happens in front of a packed waiting room for maximum impact.
