113: Please Share This Advice With Your Docs and Hygienists, They Need to Hear it!
Subscribe On –
If you tiptoe around diagnoses, patients pay the price. In this candid riff, Dr. Jason challenges new associates and hygienists to stop under-diagnosing out of fear and start telling patients what they actually need, with empathy and clarity. He uses common-sense analogies (optometrist, mechanic, primary care) to show why “let’s watch it” is often just avoidance, then lays out simple language to present perio care, restorations, and time-of-service expectations without drama.
You’ll learn:
-
How to replace scarcity and fear with professional confidence
-
Language that is firm, kind, and rooted in patient benefit
-
When to present treatment now versus truly re-evaluate later
-
How leaders can coach providers who keep punting hard conversations
-
A checklist for clear recommendations, consent, and next steps
Share this with your clinical team. Patients trust you for the truth, not a comfortable maybe.
