Patient Centered Dentistry

Posted on: 09.01.16 | by Mary Osborne

collaborateOver a decade ago I first became aware of the concept of patient centered or relationship based dentistry. Having become disenchanted with the way I was practicing dentistry I was attracted to this model. A fundamental premise is to partner with our patients to help them make healthy choices. Out of this partnership we can find greater trust, appreciation and fulfillment professionally. These rewards come out of our ability to do more of the dentistry we love to do on patients who value and appreciate us and have chosen the care they are receiving. Mary and Joan have become two of my dearest friends over the years. Nationally renown educators and facilitators in their own right, there is a magic when we teach together that comes from our shared philosophy and caring. The next time we teach "They All Say Yes: A Team Approach To Patient Care" won't be until April of next year. I thought between now and then I would try and share some of what has been magic learning for me, with you.

In this video Mary shares one of my all time favorite stories. I share this story when I teach and the fact that I can remember the first time I heard Mary present it and the visual captivated me around the possibility of a different way to practice. Enjoy!
