The oral hygiene lecture is an important part of every dental hygiene visit, and no matter how many times it is repeated, it doesn't always lead to changes in patients’ behaviors. The “brush and floss” message is not working; dental disease is on the rise. Learn the secrets to connecting with patients, working together on an oral health plan, and helping patients achieve better oral health. Skip the lecture and ask this one opened-ended question and experience for yourself a more rewarding oral health conversation.
