Are you looking to take an emergency and turn that patient into somebody who comes back for complete care?

What I’ve learned from my 27 years in dentistry is this: when we talk at patients, we dominate the conversation. When we ask great questions in the right sequence, we engage a conversation.

Questions are your answer.

Join Dr. David Rice, chief editor of DentistryIQ, every week in the Monday Huddle and learn how to be a more successful you.
