What’s one thing that helps you connect with patients who process the world differently , how do you make sure they feel seen and respected during a difficult dental procedure like a filling ?
Hello, I am currently A dental assistant that specializes in giving care to the ID or IDD (special needs) population that is about to start the EFDA (expanded fundamental dental assistant ) Dental program. Going into this field has already been such an amazing eye-opening experience for me and I would like to continue giving my best care to these individuals so I am seeking advice considering I am going into a new position and would like to get more support on how to 1. make the patient feel at most comfortable and 2.provide my most Gold standard care so that I know that their restorations/fillings will be grade A.
