Hoofstraat 269 in die Paarl, of beter bekend as Dental on Main, het beh\u00f3\u00f3rlik makietie gehou toe die geliefde dr. Piet Schoeman (72) n\u00e1 35 jaar by di\u00e9 praktyk die tuig neergel\u00ea het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schoeman het ‘n volle 47 jaar as tandarts gepraktiseer en drie en ‘n half dekades hiervan in die Paarl, sy tuisdorp, gewerk.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Schoeman tree hy af met “gemengde gevoelens” en gaan hy sy kollegas, onder meer sy oud-vennoot, dr.\u2009Louis de Wet Louw, asook dr. Francois Malan, sy kollega en vennoot wat by hom oorgevat het, mis. Hy s\u00ea hy gaan ook na sy pasi\u00ebnte verlang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Van my pasi\u00ebnte is van die eerstes [by die praktyk],” het Schoeman verduidelik.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Baie van hulle [die pasi\u00ebnte] het kom drukkies gee en wyn gebring n\u00e1 die nuus dat ek aftree.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dat hy lekker by Hoofstraat 269 gewerk het, is geen geheim nie, maar volgens hom is dit tyd om die laaste paar jaar “voor my gordyn sak” tyd te maak vir homself en sy familie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Schoeman wil hy meer tyd saam met sy vyf kleinkinders langs die sportveld deurbring en “rondloop en kwaaddoen”.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het vertel hy is ook lief vir die buitelug \u2013 veral vo\u00eblkyk saam met een van sy kleinkinders.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schoeman is ‘n Paarliet in murg en been en het in 1971 aan die Ho\u00ebr Jongenskool Paarl gematrikuleer, waar hy destyds die hoofseun was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 skool het hy aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) ingeskryf vir ‘n graad in regte, maar n\u00e1 ‘n kort rukkie besef di\u00e9 rigting is nie vir hom nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schoeman het toe vir aanlegtoetse gegaan, waarna medies aan hom voorgestel is, en dit is di\u00e9 dat hy besluit het op tandheelkunde \u2013 ‘n besluit waaroor hy nooit spyt was nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het toe sy B.Ch.D-graad in 1978 aan die US se Tygerberg-kampus voltooi en was die derde groep tandheelkundestudente wat destyds gegradueer het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het toe \u2013 nadat hy graad gevang het \u2013 ‘n praktyk in Durbanville geopen, waarna hy later die kans gekry het om Dental on Main, die oudste tandheelkundepraktyk in die Paarl, te koop.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom het hy die praktyk by die vorige tandartse oorgekoop met die gebou wat altesaam twee geslagte tandartse voor sy koms gehad het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oor die jare heen het tandheelkunde verskeie veranderings beleef en een hiervan is die skuif van herstellende sorg na estetiese behandelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Almal wil skitterwit tande h\u00ea,” het hy ges\u00ea.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schoeman onthou ‘n poets wat hy en sy vennoot op ‘n pasi\u00ebnt gebak het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom het ‘n kli\u00ebnt die praktyk besoek vir ‘n nuwe stel gebitte, waarna hy en sy kollega twee stelle kunstande gemaak het \u2013 een wat aan die vereistes voldoen het, en ‘n tweede, humoristiese stel met oordrewe, wydgespasieerde tande wat ver uit die mond gestaan het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toe Schoeman se kollega die tweede stel gebitte in die pasi\u00ebnt pas, en die pasi\u00ebnt sy tande die eerste keer sien, het hy gevra: “Maar gaan die tande dan nou nie natre\u00ebn nie”? Dit is een van vele staaltjies wat Schoeman gretig onhou, maar die res bly ‘n geheim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
