The Treatment Triad: A System for Presenting Treatment Plans

The Treatment Triad is a simple framework for presenting treatment plans to patients. It categorizes treatment into three components: urgent, preventive, and cosmetic. By explaining these components to the patient, it helps them understand the different phases of treatment and the importance of each. This approach allows the patient to prioritize their treatment and make informed decisions. Dentists should focus on asking open-ended questions to understand the patient's values and motivations, which will help tailor the treatment plan to their needs. The Treatment Triad also encourages ongoing communication and follow-up with patients to ensure continuity of care.
