Tip of the Week
by Arthur Anderson
 Art Anderson, your DentalSuccess Tipster, talks about: Helping Every Hygenist to be a Master Hygenist
Practicing as a master in the field of dentistry requires that the hygienist provide treatment that is comprehensive. She must also develop communication skills to a level that enables her to help patients to become more aware of their dental condition and the consequences of failing to maintain and improve it.
Here are six things hygienists can do to help them to be masters in conducting comprehensive exams according to Cynthia McKane-Wagester, President/Founder of McKane & Associates, a full-service management company servicing health care practices.
1. Share the philosophy of the practice in a tactful way with every patient. This would at least suggest telling patients that the practice is committed to providing every patient with the very best dentistry possible.
2. Ask patients to confirm that they want to hear about things that might prevent them from keeping their teeth for a lifetime.
3. Collect all of the dental diagnostic information needed to properly plan treatment for each patient.
4. Utilize the intraoral camera, radiographs, and periodontal forms to help patient visualize the impact of treatment.
5. Emphasize the value of treatment that is recommended so patients will be motivated to take positive action.
6. Gain acceptance for treatment. Encourage questions because they provide opportunity to answer all objections. Keeping these six things in mind will help every hygienist to become a master.
