Periodontal treatment is often compromised due to time constraints. Not achieving optimal health for their patients leads to frustration for the clinician. Dental hygienists struggle to fit new products and protocols into an already overly full appointment. Learn how to use research to support clinical choices for your patients and how to avoid the trap of bloody prophies. Tricks to involve patients in their own co-diagnosis saves time presenting treatment options. Other time saving tips help make periodontal therapy progressive and easily moves patients from disease to health.
