I was reading an article the other day that talked about a new trend in dental offices--dental spas. Apparently dentists are finding that if you are a relaxed and happy patient, you are more likely to pick those optional procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and braces (well optional for some).
Some of the spas even offer manicures, pedicures, eyebrow waxes and hair services. I think that this could be a little confusing for your husband/significant other who might see you go to the dentist to get your teeth cleaned and then come back out looking almost like a model (relaxed and glowing). Hmm...it is getting close to Valentine's day so that may not be a bad thing.
The trend seems to be catching around the world with Bangkok Dental Spa claiming to be Asia's first dental spa. Ther is the Zen Dental Spa in South Africa which promotes dental tourism, and Beach Dental Spa in Kerala, India. Seems like a great idea. What are your thoughts?

Why not? If you can do it, do it. I've heard of people doubling dental and vacation because in other countries the procedures are far less expensive. Some people are very leary of dentists and the austere sterility of the clinics they have to visit for dental work. If getting pampered gives you incentive to shed the fear, what could be the harm in that?
