you may go to the dentist and tell him about bitcoin and who it works and teach him how to create a wallet. then tell him that you can pay him in btc so he can get the experience of btc for the first time

yeah good suggestion but who have this much time for another people at a moment no one want to spend his time for else... Now people are thinking only own profit so I am not interested in your opinion, If they know about bitcoin then I would like to pay with btc.

That will be nice if you now even can pay your dentist now with Bitcoin, it is nice that you are making Bitcoin also more acceptable, that is quite perfect for the currency itself.
And there are also a lot of people that is going to use Bitcoin now around this time so that will be also nice.

This would make Bitcoin really official to be able to pay your dentist with Bitcoins. Bitcoin has to come a long way before I can do such a thing in my country with Bitcoin. Maybe it will never happen here I don't know.

All I know is that I know nothing.

this is nice to see people spreading the word about bitcoin.

@OP what happened, did you do it and what was the dentist respond?
you should update the first post because it is hard to go through 7 pages if you have updated before.

I have never met a dentist who accepts bitcoins!!! Grin

Doctors are usually not aware of new technologies until and unless it is related to their work.
I hope your dentist would accept bitcoins but chances of him doing so are shallow.

Don't underestimate the power of dentists!!
The Eurodollar bond market succeeded because Belgian dentists wanted safe avenues to park their money.

The Eurodollar bond case was totally different from bitcoins. Dentists had shown their interest in it because it was safe, while bitcoins are very much volatile in nature and it is more like an investment. If they wished to invest in something, they would have chosen something less volatile and more safe, something more trusted, something like gold or property.

It's a good idea, I believe a dentist is a smart person so he/she would know how much Bitcoin will help him/her. We should try this to anyone that we think would likely to accept Bitcoin.

Well, it depends, if the dentist or the professional that we are going to paid is still in their old passion of using money, then most probably they won't accept bitcoin even if we tell them that it will have a great use to them...But if we really need to convince them, I suggest to walk in their shop earlier, say a day before, and be friend with the dentist..tell them about bitcoin and your experience..make it more convincing, that way, he/she might try it..

At the end of the month, I'll fly to Budapest for some heavy dental work, and I'm planning to pay with BTC. Has anyone ever paid his/her dentist with BTC? The dentist I'll see mostly has foreign patients traveling to Hungary because it's much cheaper, so BTC would be convenient for many of them. Any argument I could use to convince my dentist?

Unfortunately my dentist would most certainly just laugh at me asking himself what the hell I'm talking about.

Same story over here, although a workaround is to have him/her use BitPay as a payment method. I doubt it'll work though. Here in the Philippines, there's a service that allows you to request bitcoin payments and the customer would simply pay you over convenience stores/pawnshops. Works for online shops.

@ontopic Update us on your dentist's reply. This'll be fun.

using bitcoin for pay services is always better than using bitcoin for buying something,i think its good to introduce bitcoin to dentist,and its good way to spread bitcoin in another level.

Yeah soon when the adoption increases, this increases acceptance of bitcoin in future in most sectors and for various services.

But i dont think he will accept bitcoin as payments because it is just so little for him to cash it out to the banks and totally waste of time for them to go to banks. But if the dentist is bitcoin well theres no problem with it he can put signage that hes clinic accepts bitcoin for that if bitcoin users know about it it can gain free advertisement for hes dental clinic and it will be known.

Its a nice initiative to stick with bitcoin while paying dentists but you either need to first search for better dentists who accepts btc in first place or you can try to help them adapt to this currency. This might take time though and they as well needs to trust you.

Well if you are looking for dentists who already accepts btc then you can try locating them from these searches:

1. https://coinmap.org
2. http://usebitcoins.info/index.php/bitcoin-in-the-real-world
3. http://bitcoin.travel
4. http://spendbitcoins.com/places

Good luck Wink

Pay with high amount of bitcoin i think the dentist accept your payment hehe.. Of course if you pay them a bitcoin they dont have time to claim that in bank or exchange to real money, because they have many works to do.
