Patient Management: Setting Realistic Expectations The Truth About Dentistry
-
- Medicine
As Dr. Bob Barkley once said in the 1970s, "The goal of dentistry is to make the patient worse at the slowest possible rate". Dentistry is not a perfect science. Any time we have to touch a tooth, all we are doing is slowing down a train already in motion. So the #1 mistake you can make as a dentist is to be a bad communicator. You will always fail someone's expectations IF you haven't properly managed them. This podcast is my letter to anyone who needs to hear this, and can hopefully save them from learning the hard way as many dental professionals do.
