Overcoming a patient\u2019s obstacles to treatment may take some finesse. The diagnosis and treatment plan are typically the easier task. In this series, we have asked the experts from our Protocol Directory, to share their insight.<\/p>\n<p>When Kim Miller RDH with Inspired Hygiene was asked to address \u201cI need to think about it\u201d or \u201cI need to talk to ____ (my husband, wife, etc.) about it,\u201d her response included the following:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI completely understand. I\u2019m sure you weren\u2019t expecting to hear that you have an infection in your mouth. Typically, when a patient tells me they need to think about it, it means I have not given them enough information to make a decision. Take a moment and think about what\u2019s holding you back. What questions do you have for me? What have I been unclear about?\u201d (The key is to wait and listen to the patient. Do not try to convince them. Be the source of information, not pressure.)<\/p>\n<p>For more Words of Wisdom from Kim Miller, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/practice-protocols\/inspired_hygiene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inspired Hygiene page<\/a> of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/practice-protocols\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Protocol Directory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oraldna.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8303 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JOIN-ODNA-TODAY-QR.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1050\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JOIN-ODNA-TODAY-QR.png 2828w, https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JOIN-ODNA-TODAY-QR-300x86.png 300w, https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JOIN-ODNA-TODAY-QR-1024x293.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JOIN-ODNA-TODAY-QR-768x219.png 768w, https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JOIN-ODNA-TODAY-QR-1536x439.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JOIN-ODNA-TODAY-QR-2048x585.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The key is to wait and listen to the patient.
