Clinical skill gets you through the door — but communication is what keeps it open.

In this episode, we unpack why effective patient communication is just as critical as your hand skills.

From building trust to reducing anxiety and improving treatment outcomes, we explore evidence-based strategies and the 5 Cs of communication that every dental student should master.

Learn how analogies, visual aids, and empathy turn jargon into understanding and patients into partners. Whether you're in your first year or final clinic block, this episode will help you speak human, not just dental.
