ADC Exam 101: Question Answer→

“Is it advisable for a dentist to apologize if a patient experiences pain after treatment?

Here’s what you need to know:

🔵An apology is not a sign of wrongdoing, but rather a genuine expression of empathy and regret.

For instance, a dentist might say, "I am sorry you experienced so much discomfort after the extraction."

When accompanied by an explanation, this gesture can provide reassurance to a complainant and be enough to address their concerns.

This is especially critical when a patient has been avoidably harmed. Failure to offer an apology in such cases is a common reason why patients escalate their complaints.

🦷 Regular Check-Ups: Just like taking your car to a mechanic for a routine service, having a regular dental check-up is a great. Here's why:
• We are trained specifically to pick up early signs of disease in and around the mouth as well as any breakdown of the teeth. If we notice things not quite right, we can advise on the most appropriate course of action.
• As a rule of thumb, the earlier a problem is detected, then usually the easier the cure. Just like taking your car in for a service and telling the mechanic that there is a squeak somewhere in the front end – He can diagnose and hopefully fix it before the wheel falls off.
• How often should you service your car? Some manufacturers recommend 10,000 kms or every 6 months whichever is the earlier. Similarly, most dentists recommend 6 monthly check-ups. But don’t be alarmed if a dentist advises your personal check-ups at different intervals depending on your own individual needs.
• If you are a Sunday afternoon casual driver, you may not need as much servicing as a sales rep who travels interstate weekly. Teeth are the same, some people eat carefully, whilst others are quite reckless with their pearly whites.
• Servicing is designed to keep your car running in the best possible condition. Likewise, we want to advise you regularly on how to optimise your chewing apparatus.
So, whether you're a careful eater or a reckless one, regular check-ups are important to keep your teeth in tip-top shape.

GeekyDentist Tip for ADC aspirants and fellow dentists 🦷

As you prepare for your ADC (Australian Dental Council) exam, particularly the OSCE component, it's important to understand the significance of taking a patient-centered approach.

Why?
As a dentist, your ability to communicate effectively without sounding imposing is essential.

Here are 5 tips to master a patient-centered approach:

🔵 Show empathy and respect: Create a comfortable environment for your patients to express themselves. Respect their autonomy and individuality.

🔵Practice active listening: Pay close attention to their words, non-verbal cues, and emotions. Tailor your responses to address their specific needs and concerns.

🔵 Engage in collaborative decision-making: Involve patients in shared decision-making. Present all relevant information and respect their right to make informed choices.

🔵 Use clear and simple language: Use jargon-free language that resonates with your patients. Adjust your vocabulary and tone according to their background and education level.

🔵Maintain professional boundaries: Treat your patients with utmost professionalism and avoid crossing personal or emotional boundaries.

Remember, the ADC exam evaluates both your clinical skills and patient interactions.

Good luck, dentist! 🍀

🦷 The way you communicate with your patients about suspicious oral lesions can have a big impact on them. That's why it's so important to do it right.

Here are some tips to help you communicate effectively:

1️⃣ Be clear and direct: Use simple language to explain the issue to your patient. By being upfront, you show that you take the matter seriously and that you're someone they can trust.

2️⃣ Express concern: Let your patient know that you are taking the matter seriously and that further investigation is needed. When you show that you care, your patient will be more likely to take the issue seriously as well.

3️⃣ Avoid exaggerating: Scare tactics and dramatic language can increase anxiety and fear. Stick to the facts and present the situation in a straightforward manner. By being honest and straightforward, you build trust and credibility with your patient.

4️⃣ Offer reassurance: Many suspicious mouth ulcers are not cancerous and there are treatment options available. By presenting the patient with a clear picture of what to expect, you can help alleviate some of their anxiety and fear.

5️⃣ Provide a clear plan of action: Explain the next steps and what your patient can expect. By being clear and concise, you give your patient a sense of control and help them feel more informed and involved.

Remember: Communication is key when discussing suspicious mouth ulcers with your patients.
By being honest, clear, and empathetic, you can persuade your patients to take the issue seriously and seek the care they need.

Good luck, dentist! :) 🦷
