Privacy

Sometimes, there just is not any privacy. ...

We are in Bularia, our patients in Germany, the UK, Iceland, Spain etc. etc. Of course, it is impossible to judge their teeth, gums and jawbone from a distance, but digital photographs can give a first impression.

When I ask for such a photo, I am fully aware of what I am doing. I know I am not asking for ' that great holiday pic!'. Many times, it is a shot of neglected, damaged and disoloured teeth that I am after....

The only thing I can tell these people is that our dentists have always seen worse and, which is far more important, that they do not preach or yell at their patients. We know how dentists can be and we know how much impact this can have.

If you send me a photo, I will not use it to get nominated for the Bafta Award. I will show it to my colleagues and we will be looking at at in only one way: how can we help?
