Motivating your Patients to Control their own Oral Hygiene Journey

A general practitioner with a special interest in oral hygiene will elaborate on what techniques he employs to achieve the best outcomes for his patients. How we can motivate and engage them in the process using data your practice software already provides. Also to realise that the teaching we provide to patients is ongoing and that their learning is progressive.

Learning outcomes
The general practitioner will learn what products and equipment are best practice to achieve and maintain a patients oral hygiene. The ability to track a patient’s progress and put them in charge of the own health allows the patient to control their own destiny.

But to help them during the journey, we must impart the right information and instruction, right down to almost holding their hand.

Once the principles of this system are applied, you will experience behaviour change. For the better!
