Beyond Basic Polishing
What do you do when the parents drop children off for hygiene appointments and never come into the office? Do you provide the prophy, fluoride, radiographs and exam for these patients without parental consent?
What do you do when probing scores vary between clinicians, the patient has been led to believe they have no perio problems, yet there are 4-5mm probing depths throughout and pinpoint bleeding in one-third of sites?
The collaborative dynamics of respect, unconditional listening, shared knowledege and working together for the common good, create optimum restorative and health outcomes for the patient.
