Patients can often be extremely anxious during dental treatments — all dentists are aware of this fact. As such, a huge component of dentistry involves getting patients to trust you and feel comfortable. When it comes to periodontal care, dentists must also inculcate positive dental hygiene habits to prevent periodontal problems in the future. After all, the success of periodontal therapy hinges on the patient’s willingness to maintain optimal oral hygiene.
Our team at Zircon Medical recently hosted Dr. Ana Cortes on our podcast series to discuss how to make patients comfortable during periodontal treatment.
