Dental anxiety. Low motivation. Limited oral health literacy. Socioeconomic challenges. Many individuals — both adults and children — face real barriers to good oral health. How can dental professionals meet patients where they are — not just physically, but also emotionally and behaviorally.
Join CareQuest Institute for an interactive webinar that will introduce the foundations of motivational interviewing—a patient-centered communication approach that blends active listening with the delivery of accurate information—to improve care for patients. Our experts will begin by explaining how motivational interviewing can drive lasting behavior change and help patients determine what is most important to them. After covering the basics, our experts will demonstrate how to apply this unique set of skills in dental settings through real-world patient scenarios. They’ll also share resources to help learners continue to hone their skills after the session.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the core principles and techniques of motivational interviewing.
- Explain how motivational interviewing can help patients overcome barriers to oral health and sustain better long-term habits.
- Apply motivational interviewing strategies, using real-world scenarios, to enhance patient oral health outcomes.
