Dental anxiety. Low motivation. Limited oral health literacy. Socioeconomic challenges. Many individuals — both adults and children — face real barriers to good oral health. For dental professionals, it’s essential to meet patients where they are — not just physically, but emotionally and behaviorally, too. How?
Join CareQuest Institute for an interactive webinar that will introduce the foundations of motivational interviewing (MI), a patient-centered communication approach that blends active listening with the delivery of accurate information and guidance to help patients develop a treatment plan that the patient understands and believes in. Our experts will explain how to use MI to foster internal motivation that drives lasting behavior change, helping patients determine what is most important to them. After covering the basics, our experts will demonstrate how to apply MI skills in dental settings through real-world patient scenarios and share resources to help you continue develop your skills after the session.
