From the mouths of babes...when a young dental hygienist first heard the idea of Treatment Planning along with the idea of enhancing her role as a Restorative Partner, her reply was beautiful. She said, "Oh you want me to learn about "treatment PLANTING!" Yes! That is exactly what we mean!  A Restorative Partner deeply appreciates the development process that dental patients are often on, and looks for opportunities to plant seeds of awareness, curiosity, and of course possibilities. I will forever think about Treatment Planning in an entirely different way.  Will you??
