Connecting with patients leads to better engagement. Engagement empowers patients and holds them accountable for their own health. Using Motivational Interviewing in the dental office helps in connecting / engaging our patients, helping us shift from a reactive, surgical approach to care to one of pro-active prevention. With ORAL HEALTH proposed as the foundation for overall health by the FDI VISION 2020 Task Force, let’s see dentists leading the way with this empowering approach to ORAL HEALTH.
