Goals and Values
Learn about treatment planning for the patient and the goals and values of the dentist.
Dr Lincoln discusses:
-
How to advise patients and perform treatment based on what they want, not on what we want.
-
Issues of treatment plans being diseased-based or aesthetic-driven when the patients' goals aren't considered
-
Asking the patient about their goals and values
If we don't, as dentists, meet the goals of the patients than we have failed, even if our dentistry is excellent.
