TIP #44: Saving Every Tooth But At What Cost? with Dr Michael Frazis
Description
Welcome to What I Wish I Knew by Dental Head Start. This is a podcast where we learn from people that have been there, made the mistakes, learnt the lessons and have developed into the accomplished dental professionals they are today.
It’s your weekly mentoring session.
We’ve all be in that situation where we’re torn between saving a tooth and throwing in the towel. As with all things in dentistry, there isn’t necessarily a correct answer. Ultimately, what’s most important is how we go about explaining the situation and presenting the options to a patient.
In this episode, Dr Michael Frazis talks us through his ‘Open and Explore’ appointments, and how he walks the patient step-by-step through the process to help them make an informed decision.
Dr Frazis shares plenty of stories and helpful examples in this short and sweet episode.
