Quotes

 

“What can we do, and what resources are out there, that we need to consider to avoid a shutdown?” 

 

“We often forget all the opportunities to treat the patient, that are just conversational.” 

 

“They take up time on your schedule, and they take up valuable PPE.” 

 

“It does take one or two times to get the hang of an intraoral scan.” 

 

“Give them that video or audio file of what you talked about, because you know patients forget.”

 

“Think outside of the box. Do you need to have every interaction and conversation in the chair? Probably not.”

 

“Ramp up the quality of the time you spend with them in the chair.” 

 

“I would encourage you to contact your board, especially if you are a dentist.”
