Abstract

Patient motivation is a big part of treatment result stability over time, especially for periodontally involved and implant patients. Patients who trust us and come regularly to our clinics are also our best ambassadors, who market our services among their families and friends. But as we all know building trust and changing habits takes time.

I will share a few tips and tricks on building trust with patients, reducing their stress levels before and within surgery, and increasing their intrinsic motivation to care for their oral health and come for regular follow-up appointments.
