Dr. Eric Guirguis, Co-Founder of Pendant Health maintains that patient education is an important component of the treatment experience. The opportunity to educate patients while they are in office or periodically through patient retention programs is key to maximizing not only your value as their dentist but also to increasing case acceptance and their long-term well being.
An article from the New England Journal of Medicine, (see article here) shows the value of good oral health. The article describes the value of intensive perio treatment and its potential to reverse atherosclerosis by improving elasticity of the arteries. Again, another development in the link between perio health and cardiovascular health.
Demonstrating these links and educating patients will in fact show the importance of routine preventative and diagnostic care.
How are you educating your patients?
