Wellness education is one way I’ve been able to help practices improve both recare and treatment acceptance. To implement a Wellness Program in a practice, I start by meeting with the entire dental team to review the ways oral health affects overall health and share the latest statistics on periodontal disease, oral cancer, sleep disorders, heart disease, and diabetes. When the entire team is excited to share the message of wellness with patients, we use the Total Health materials to create a system of educating and motivating every patient in the practice to improve health and accept treatments.
