This is a recorded, on-demand course.
Modern periodontal care requires more than accurate diagnosis, it requires the ability to lead patients through a thoughtful, emotionally intelligent conversation about their health. Perio Reimagined reframes the clinician’s role from information-giver to guide, beginning with a deep understanding of our own mindset, beliefs, and internal responses before we ever speak to the patient. Participants will learn how to create emotional safety, reflect clinical findings in patient-centered language, and use inquiry to uncover values, concerns, and readiness for change. This session equips dental hygienists and clinicians with practical communication tools that elevate diagnostic confidence, strengthen case acceptance, and support long-term periodontal stability through partnership, not pressure.
Learning Objectives
✔️ Identify how clinician mindset, beliefs, and emotional regulation influence periodontal diagnosis conversations and patient responses.
✔️ Apply the BRIDGE Coaching Model™ to create trust, reflect clinical findings clearly, and guide patient understanding throughout periodontal case discussions.
