my dentist touched an ignored part in my heart

[mohbabe]

Hi,
I just went to the dentist recently and he was so good and cool. He didn't play music during my treatment and I loved it because his voice was a real music talking to me at every step as a patient. I know he is only doing his job but he do it with love and care and that what made his visit so good. Anyway, I cannot deny he made my week because I felt someone in this world is so caring and soft. The moment he touched my lips and cheek to wipe them , he touched an ignored part in my heart. I had no real love or relation before. That day I wanted to hug him warmly to say thanks you recognized me as a human who deserve gentle care. When I went back home , he was in my thoughts as a good caring person . I want to thank him by sending a card or gift. Is it appropriate? I just want to appreciate his goodness. What do you think?

Regards

Um, I probably wouldn't if I were you.

Always nice to have human kindness though, but best to leave it like that.

Have you been drinking?

This OP has made my day lol

I wouldn't, sweetheart, because it's slightly inappropriate.

I do understand what you mean though, a few years ago after leaving my horrible ex I had a facial at a spa and cried all the way through it because it had been son long since anybody had touched me gently and made me feel special.

Enjoy the feeling and work on surrounding yourself withloveliness. I find affirmations and positive tthinking made a massive difference to the sort of people I attracted into my life.

I am sending you lots of wonderful warm wishes, I am confident that your life will soon be full of love.

Xx

excellent!

Excuse typos, my phone hates me...

I actually felt like this about a Doctor. I think it is easy to get a crush on these people as they are kind and caring when you are at your most vulnerable.

But don't do anything crazy. They will think you are mad if you thank them too much, they were only doing their job and if you cross a professional boundary by being too personal with them, it will make it very awkward for them.

Did he touch a nerve?

I think you should eat a load of sweets and stop flossing so you don't have to wait six months.

I'm a dentist and I love getting thank you cards, it really makes my day. A gift of a box of chocs for the nurses always goes down well too.

When I had a general anaesthetic once I was so gaga afterwards I told the anaesthetist I wishes he was my dad

Omg Freudian

bless

Wished*

My postman does this to me often.

Also a dentist. Definitely chocolates for the team and a card saying thank you for your caring manner or some such. One gets little thanks..... I remember every card and bunch of flowers.

I work in a hospital and all staff no matter who they are all love it when they are appreciated, a simple non-expensive usually edible gift is well received, so I say go for it

My gynae consultant is like that. Just a fabulous warm and caring (as well as hugely skillful, and deftly and calmly saves lives and fertility on a regular basis) human being. Wish there were more like him.

Steady on. You are coming across as slightly needy and desperate there.

I fell in love with the anaesthetist who gave me my epidural, and the healthcare assistant who gave me a bedbath after the traumatic birth of DS1. She was so motherly to me when I needed a lot of nurturing.

A card would be nice

But just say thankyou for your excellent supportive dentistry. Anything else might sound a bit OTT

My dentist is lovely, gentle and caring too. I noticed a couple of thank you cards hanging up in the surgery so it's not unusual for people to show their appreciation.

Agree with others... a card would be good, but maybe just limit it to the first sentence of your OP...? Then skip straight to "Regards".

I've sent a card to my dentist but because she uses sedation on me and I never know if I've said thank you to her at the end of treatment!

If you were happy with the work done, then fine but not the 'touching my heart' stuff, Op.
