Episode notes
Managing patient expectations in Dentistry – there are some MAJOR lessons we can learn from facial aesthetics practitioners.
We’re diving into a conversation with Dr. Katherine Bell that’s really going to open your eyes about communication. Despite beauty being subjective, we find a lot of similarities in how we talk to and get consent from patients, whether it’s for facial aesthetics or dental procedures
So, even if facial aesthetics isn’t your cup of tea, think of this episode as a deep dive into communication and consent. Plus, it’s Documentation Month on Protrusive Podcast, and this episode is just the beginning!
Protrusive Dental Pearl: Tailoring consent to each patient involves discussing only the risks that matter to them, using standard forms for GUIDANCE, not for completeness. It’s about clearly explaining how we’ll minimize these risks, ensuring the patient feels secure and informed about the precautions taken. For example ‘Mrs Smith, your tooth is very badly broken down and this can be a very tricky extraction. The way we are going to make it easier is by carefully dividing the tooth in to 3 roots’
