I am way too private a person. I would worry that every time I saw them they would be inspecting my teeth or mentally chastising me for drinking a soda. </p> autumnlove on "If one of your best friends was a dentist..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-if-one-of-your-best-friends-was-a-dentist#post-1658649 Mon, 26 May 2014 15:00:12 +0000 autumnlove 1658649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure </p> pui on "If one of your best friends was a dentist..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-if-one-of-your-best-friends-was-a-dentist#post-1658648 Mon, 26 May 2014 15:00:12 +0000 pui 1658648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: This is a good point too.

I would prefer a doctor who is 1) not someone I socialize outside of medical situations... I just feel like that is awkward that someone I see day-to-day knows my medical history and 2) impartial. I'd be worried about how our social relationship might affect our medical one. </p> swedishfish on "If one of your best friends was a dentist..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-if-one-of-your-best-friends-was-a-dentist#post-1658643 Mon, 26 May 2014 14:58:06 +0000 swedishfish 1658643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not be comfortable having any sort of health care work done by a friend.</p> <p>ETA - I went to a family friend dentist for a long time and he wasn't very good. It made it difficult to leave. </p> Glitter on "If one of your best friends was a dentist..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-if-one-of-your-best-friends-was-a-dentist#post-1658639 Mon, 26 May 2014 14:56:13 +0000 Glitter 1658639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>... would you be comfortable letting them smell your breath, clean your plaque, see your cavities, do dental surgery on you? </p>
