Patient Communication Resources
Being a dentist is not a one-dimensional role and a major part of being a trained medical professional is having awareness of your patients’ specific needs and experiences. We have materials and resources to help you better understand and care for patients in long-term care homes, patients with special needs and patients from marginalized communities. We can also help you talk to patients on topics like tobacco cessation and direct-to-consumer dentistry.
