Dental Patient Education Videos

Can you afford to practice without Dental Patient Education?

In today’s digital age of computers, ipods, cell phones, televisions and the like, your patients have become accustomed to a new way receive information. Where past generations may have been content to read a brochure, people today would much rather watch a short video clip. In the past, people were happy to take their doctors word for it, now they want a “second opinion” and usually will turn to the internet for it. On the internet they have access to a variety of information, some of which may be true and some which can be dangerously false and not applicable to their needs. This can lead them to making some extremely damaging decisions regarding their oral health.

Many dentists have and are discovering that digital patient education is the solution to this problem. It educates the patient in a way they expect and need as well as provide that “second opinion” that they desire. How does it work as a “second opinion” you may ask? Well, they know that you didn’t produce the 3D Animation that often goes into good patient education videos so it must have come from another source. The Patient Education Software provider becomes that “second opinion”.

There are many other benefits to Digital Patient Education which you should consider when deciding whether or not your practice requires it.

Benefits of using Dental Patient Education:
· Improving Efficiency In Your Practice
· Increasing Acceptance of Treatments
· Protection from Lawsuits
· Appearance of a Modern Practice

Improving Efficiency in Your Practice
How much time do you spend with your patients explaining what seems to you, a simple procedure while the patient is just not getting it? After 5 or 10 minutes of explanation and maybe some sketching on a notepad or using of a poster or diagram on the wall, the patient will ask a question that you have already covered and you have to start the explanation all over again. Patient Education Videos can help to solve this problem. You can sit the patient down to watch the video or series of videos while you spend your valuable time performing your tasks.

Increasing Acceptance of Treatments
This goes back to the “second opinion” scenario. If a patient can see firsthand that the treatment you are recommending is a documented and common treatment and also see the dangers of not having the treatment, they are more likely to accept that treatment. This ultimately results in an increase in your dental practice revenue and lessens the amount of unscheduled emergency treatments.

Protection from Lawsuits
When a patient watches a video and that viewing is tracked in the patient’s history, they will be unable to claim that they were not told about the procedure and its associated risks. Most patients when confronted with this evidence will not pursue the lawsuit.

Appearance of a Modern Practice
Last but not least, bringing computers into your consult rooms and operatories will dramatically improve the technological appearance of your practice. It will tell your patients that your practice is current and up-to-date. When they see high quality patient education videos with 3D animation, they will understand and appreciate that you are providing the best in technology to meet their dental needs. As a bonus feature, many patient education providers have programs to allow you to add the same patient education seen in your practice, to your website.
