31 Thank You Note to Dentist Message Examples

National Dentist’s Day is celebrated every year on March 6th. However, I am sure your dentist would appreciate a “thank you” any time of the year!

The dentist is sometimes feared or even hated. Remember that “the dentist” is a natural person with real feelings! You may not like the pain associated with some dental visits, but you can still like and appreciate your dentist.

In October 2015, I lost two teeth to root resorption and decided to get dental implants to replace them. Having the teeth removed and implants put in (two separate procedures) was the most pain I’ve ever had. But, despite the pain, I was thankful for the outcomes: the bad teeth were removed, and a few months later, I had implants that allowed me to chew more normally.

Send a thank you note to the dentist after a dental visit or for National Dentist Day. You can also say thank you at the end of your appointment. The dentist and other staff will appreciate the kind words!

The office mailing address and email address are likely listed on their website. And a handwritten thank-you note can be put on display at the office. They may also use your note as a testimonial on the website for their office (hopefully, they will ask your permission first).

Dear Dr. [Dentist Last Name],

Thank you for the beautiful work on the fillings on my front teeth. The shade of white you used perfectly matches my other teeth. The filling is not noticeable at all. Also, the office staff is helpful when I schedule appointments or have billing questions.

See you in 6 months!

[Your name]

Note: In your message to the dentist, mention how they helped you and why you appreciate it. And you can also include a compliment. Being specific is one way to write a better thank you note.
