Ep #52: Facilitating Patient Care with Janis du Pratte

Imagine your patients willingly helped you design their treatment plans, rather than dragging their feet (or not showing up at all) as you try to improve their dental health. There really are ways to get patients excited about following through with their treatment, and today's guest is eager to share how you can bring this patient commitment to your practice. 

Janis du Pratte illuminates the differences between the expert and facilitation models in dentistry. While the expert model is what many dentists practice -- telling their patients what they should do -- Janis advocates for the role of a facilitator in the office who can tap into the values and desires of patients. By doing this, you can finally patients from mere compliance with your advice to making a commitment to overall better dental health.
