A Few Words from the Chair: A Patient Speaks to Dentists - Paperback

by David Clow (Author)

The first and only book written for dental professionals by a patient, A Few Words from the Chair-A Patient Speaks to Dentists by David Clow offers advice to established and new dental professionals on how to understand the things patients don't get to say. Clow examines dentistry from the patient's angle-the role it needs to play in the big healthcare picture, the fears and issues that keep patients and dentists apart, and some simple ideas dentists can use to bridge the gap between them. A Few Words from the Chair is a practical, timely way for dentists to build relationships, gain greater case acceptance from their patients, and create more fulfilling and lucrative practices. Gregory Tarantola, D.D.S., former clinical director of the Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education, calls A Few Words from the Chair-A Patient Speaks to Dentists "a must read."
