Going to the dentist is always a reason for apprehension and discomfort. It is usually hard to believe in the treatment suggestions given by him. They are usually seen as the one who wants to make money on you. The information given by some professionals are  sometimes not precise and may carry a weight of marketing underneath.

The objective of bert the dentist web site is to educate the general public in oral disease prevention and dental treatment alternatives. We strive to offer information in a simple and colloquial language so to be understood but with a depth that is rarely used in the dental office so the reader can at the same time build awareness around her/his dental issue/treatment .

The “Client centered” concept of dentistry has been arising in the last decade and a half and its prerogative is to educate and involve the client in the treatment choice and maintenance. If the client is educated outside of the dental office the dentist is pushed into the process of changing her/his approach. The educated patient has a better capacity to judge and choose treatment plans appropriately. This is a very important turn around in the field of dentistry. The patient must be less of a patient and more of a client that means, less passive and more participative. The client must take responsibility for his/her own oral health in partnership with the dentist.
