The 'new normal' approach to patient acceptance

Many patients will exit isolation with financial worries, wary of proceeding with necessary treatment, having built a barrier between themselves and the dentist. Finding ways to break that barrier can help the patient connect more effectively and more likely to accept treatment recommendations.

Learning outcomes:

  • Life and business will not go back to normal. The new normal is a fact
  • Case acceptance strategies will become one of the key skills of a successful dental clinic
  • People will probably tolerate much less unclear communication. The message from the doctor needs to exhale honesty, transparency, real benefits for the patient
  • People will tolerate less, commercial push, aggressive marketing
  • Patients will be more skeptical and will read in between lines if the doctor is pushing too hard to make money
  • Doctors will fear being too commercial and will feel uncomfortable pushing
  • Questions like “what is essential and what is unessential/selective” among dental procedures will become more common
  • How to make doctors comfortable with the new speech and pitch?
  • Learning from psychology how to create communication strategies when talking to somebody that is defensive
  • Learning how to sell during recession times in an ethical and elegant way.
