Do dentists go to the dentist?
Yes, dentists do go to the dentist. We also have to take care of our mouths. Dentists need regular dental check-ups and treatments just like our patients do.
Whenever we’re in need of dental work we usually have a colleague or a friend perform the dental treatment.
My friend who is also a dentist checks my mouth out and lets me know any concerns that she sees. It may be a little different for me because I’m probably telling my dentist a lot more than the average patient would. I’m very aware of what’s going on in my own mouth. And I have the knowledge and training to explain things in a different way.

How often do dentists go to the dentist?
I visit my favorite dental hygienist every six months to get my teeth cleaned.
Are dentists afraid of the dentist?
Some dentists are a little nervous about dental treatment, and some aren’t. That’s definitely going to be unique to each person’s personality. Some people will have anxiety about dentistry, even if they’re a dentist.
I personally don’t have dental anxiety. I’m less nervous about things going on inside my mouth because I understand it very well. And I think that gives me more confidence. I also trust my colleagues because I know how trained and how skilled they are. I know how educated they are. So I don’t have anything to worry about.
