Dentistry is an attractive, interesting, challenging and rewarding field. We see everywhere a lot of typologies of oral surgeons, an amalgamation of unique characteristics that differentiate each person individually. Here are a few qualities that make the profile of a good Chicago Illinois oral surgeon.
Experience - because nothing compares with experience when we talk about extensive and complicated oral interventions such as dental extractions, dental implants, etc., which involve much more than cleaning and restoring cavities.
Dexterity – this is a basic quality of a dentist. The mouth is a small space, and a stable hand and well-coordinated movements are necessary for each intervention. Instrument handling and fine motor skills make the work easier.
Communication skills – the dentist is a person who comes into contact with people at all times. His/ her task becomes more difficult because people do not exactly enjoy going to the dentist – to say the least! Empathy and the ability to make the patient feel comfortable are essential.
The ability to solve problems – dentists work under pressure – the pressure of time, as well as the pressure related to the patients` anxiety or impatience. Therefore, they must have the ability to think "outside the box" to be able to offer the right treatments.
Business sense – most dentists have their own practice or are part of a group of doctors who own the business. Managing the business, hiring, training and coordinating a team, making profit and creating a future for the business – all of these require a sense for business.
