I'll try to pay my dentist with BTC

[rickadone]

It would be great my dentist also accept a payment in BTC. But most of the people even do not know what is bitcoin. These days only we can pay in botcoins for things which are available online and also if the bitcoin is the accepted mode of payment.

Just a word of advice, you should have other funds ready, so you don't need to rely on him accepting it, but I'm sure you already know this.

Maybe convert some of your bitcoin to cash just in case you can't persuade your dentist to accept bitcoin payment. If you're not the only one who's asking for such arrangement with your dentist, chances are he/she will consider using bitcoin as well.

[Altcoinsupporter]

Around this time there are not that many people that is accepting Bitcoin for their work and that is because Bitcoin is not that popular now so that must change soon.
First we have to make Bitcoin more popular and more used so we can make it more profitable and that would be nice for the people who already have Bitcoin.

It will be nice if Bitcoin will be in the future more acceptable.

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?

I think the dentist dont accept bitcoin it is more hassle to convert in real money so the dentist have many work to do, she/he dont have time in that thing because dentist always have a patient. If you want to convince the dentist send her 1BTC, and say that the 1BTC is 400$-500$ if they know the price of the bitcoin they accept it for sure

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

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.

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:

Good luck

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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..

NOTE to people discovering this topic: I went to see my dentist, and I explained his answer to my proposal about 6 weeks ago. So please check my posts. i'll see him again next year, maybe things will have changed.

Not just dentist,you can try to pay every jobs or services with bitcoin soon,bitcoin just need more adaption to be mainstram adoption,and its will be the best time use your bitcoin as alternate payment.

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

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
