Komunikacja z pacjentem podczas zabiegu

DentiSign ma zwiększyć poczucie bezpieczeństwa osób leczonych i zmniejszyć ich niepokój, a także dać wrażenie własnej kontroli w czasie zabiegu.

Prace naukowe pochodzące z Harvard Medical School sugerują wprowadzenie języka dłoni, którego stosowanie pozwoli znacznie ograniczyć lęk jaki towarzyszy pacjentom podczas wizyt w gabinecie stomatologicznym.

Pacjent będzie czuł się znacznie pewniej, że przy pomocy prostego gestu da znak do przerwania zabiegu.
Dla niektórych pacjentów perspektywa wizyty u dentysty oznacza niemożliwy doprzezwyciężenia lęk, głównie z powodu obaw przed bólem.

Sedation dentistry reduces dental anxiety, as does DentiSign with no pills.

Sedation dentistry is touted as the cure-all for dental anxiety.

The patient takes a few pills before the dental procedure and they ‘relax’ while their dental procedure is performed. In addition to ‘relaxing’ the patient, the procedure time is reduced.

Both of these benefits are the same messaging for DentiSign, a the easy to learn extension of the established dental hand signal or dental stop signal. There are no pills/medication to swallow, and the patient and dentist relationship is strengthened as both become a team during the procedure.

This enhanced trust dynamic is not fostered when one of the team members is ‘relaxed’.

Sedation dentistry is popular, so it must work for people.

One wonders how many people could benefit from DentiSign - what about those that cannot afford sedation?

Dental Fear, Anxiety and stop-signals are real - web statistics

admin — Fri, 16 May 2008 21:45:26 +0000

Dental fear and anxiety is real.

There are 358,000 references to dental anxiety on the internet according to google.
There are 313,000 references to dental fear on the internet according to google.

To address dental fear and anxiety, most publications and articles suggest that dental professionals and dental patients utilize hand stop-signals (raise your hand) to improve communication and reduce dental anxiety during dental procedures.

There are 2,750,000 references on the internet suggesting the use of stop-signals (raise your hand) to alieve dental anxiety during a dental procedure.

Stop signals do not enable communication during dental procedures. We need more than one hand signal for effective communication. We need a suite of hand signals to foster a patient-dentist team approach.

Restoring a sense of control to the patient through communciation builds trust between the patient and dental professional, and provides a better dental experience for both patient and dentist.

Establishment of trust is the foremost concern in the patient-dentist relationship. DentiSign enables the dentist to build trust with the patient, and allows the patient to become part of the dental team in their procedure.

Dentist Video describing the effectiveness of dental hand signals.

This dentist describes the importance of a hand stop-signal in establishing trust with dental patents in his dental practice.

He states that the use of hand signals puts the dental patient in control and alleviates their fear.

If patients use the expanded DentiSign hand signalling system, control is improved along with the dental experience for both patient and dental professional.
