• Disclosing and pose the question
• Tri Plaque ID Gel
• MI Paste products

 

Quotes: 

 

“You have no idea how different my practice is from that model of shaming. Shaming doesn’t work.” 

 

“Let’s be honest, the mouth is supposed to have plaque.” 

 

“We can encourage behavior change with educational components.” 

 

“When someone is blaming you, you immediately want to stop listening to that individual.”

 

“Ask permission to share with your patients.”

 

“Disclose one or two teeth so they can see the difference.” 

 

“These products work on the plaque that is in the mouth.” 

 

“When you don't remove everything it isn't the end of the world because you are using a product that will neutralize what is left behind, it is a safety net.” 

 

“If we take away anything from the pandemic, it is that we can take the time to provide appropriate healthcare. Do it well, and do it right.”
