4 Simple Techniques To Improve Dentist-Patient Communication

Are you tired of your patients not taking you seriously? Are you frustrated when your patients don't own their disease? You are not alone! 

More than ever, patients need to comprehend our message of overall health through dental wellness. The problem is that we've dumbed down dentistry a lot in the past to make it more palatable for patients. But it's about time to crank that up.

So, don't be afraid to say terms like 'active infection' or 'pus' when talking with your patients. In fact, you should be actively discussing specifics such as inflammatory burden, inflammatory cascade, or the full names of harmful bacteria causing infections. 

This strategy allows you to use impactful language and empowers your patients by helping them understand what's at stake and why they should take their dental health seriously.
