Unplugged at the Dentist

Have you ever been in an elevator when someone begins to talk to you? Only you realize they are not talking to you, they are talking on their cell phone.... Have you ever been to the grocery store and a person is talking on their cell phone while the clerk is trying to check them out? The list goes on and on how using cell phones has penetrated our lives.



We kindly ask you to turn your phones off or put on vibrate, and NOT answer while in our office. We depend on our patients to show up and ready for treatment on time. If you are outside finishing a call and walk in 10 minutes late for your appointment, this is disruptive to your appointment. Also, if you are in the dental chair and we are trying to provide the service that you are paying us to do, it is difficult if you keep checking texts, or answering calls.



The old phrase, "Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you" never goes out of style. Would you want Dr Johnson to have his cell phone in his pocket and keep answering while drilling on your teeth. I know I wouldn't . So, when you come in to our office go UNPLUGGED!
