This course will discuss how focusing on prevention and “coaching” patients towards optimal oral health leads to more patient referrals, greater patient loyalty, better treatment outcomes and less stress for the dental team.

Participants will learn:

  • The communication skills needed and how to speak to patients about effective caries control
  • How to get a successful prevention program started in your practice.
  • How to make it financially viable for the practice.
  • Define the roles that each team member will play in implementing a prevention focused practice model.
  • The win/win of focusing on disease prevention vs. disease treatment
  • The WHY behind individualized risk management.
  • Eliciting patient involvement in their oral health outcomes
  • The triple payoff: happy patients, less disease, financial success for the practice.
