Patient Education Software can improve the level of understanding your
patients have about the amazing things that modern dentistry can do to
improve their smile and dental health.
It is a tedious process to try to communicate the details
of a crown prep or why perio disease may be present even though there are
no symptoms of pain present. This is especially true if you only have
diagrams, or printed brochures available to show the patient what you
mean.
Another problem with this method is that it is hard to
sound fresh about a subject you have already explained 8 times earlier
that week or even that day! Patients want to feel special and that you are
personally concerned with their situation. A fresh approach is essential
here.
Some dentists prefer to delegate the explanation of dental
options to a talented staff member. This is a good idea as it frees up
critical time the dentist needs to stay on top of dental procedures. Of
course you should still be involved in recommending the best treatment
options to the patient. It is much easier to build rapport with a patient
who knows the basics about the treatment to be recommended.
People respond to visual tools when trying to understand
new concepts. Professional brochures provided by the dental materials
manufacturers are a good starting point. However, stepping up to the next
level, where the patient can view an animated presentation on a video
screen that professionally explains the details of the recommended
treatment may be an area worth exploring. Presentations can be delivered
via a DVD or computer software.
