Dental Education - I Didn't Know That Space Between My Teeth Was So Wide

Many dentists have trouble presenting options to patient if they don't know if the patient has any interest, especially when it comes to elective treatment. We have an obligation to tell them what's going on. Many dentists will shy away from pointing out a space between their teeth because they don't want to be critical. But when the patient says, doc, I didn't realize that space between my teeth was so wide, you can say does that concern you? They're teeing it up for you on a 16 and softball.
