Is it a Prophy, Root Planing, or Perio Maintenance?
Explaining Procedures and Fees to Patients
Carol Tekavec CDA RDH
Management of periodontal
patients can be a neglected area in some practices. If an office is just
beginning to identify and promote thorough identification of perio problems;
the dentist, hygienist and staff may not know the best way to proceed when
explaining this change in focus to patients. Even with new patients, it can
be a challenge to discuss the differences among these services. Learn what
the clinical differences must be, and develop language tools necessary to
get patients to accept your recommendation.
- When is a prophy appropriate?
- What should be included in a periodontal maintenance procedure?
- What documentation is needed with most benefit plans for perio
treatment payment?
- Can we alternate D1110 and D4910?
- What code should we use for evaluations?
This seminar is designed for Dentists,
Assistants, Hygienists, and Business Staff.
Seminar length: 3 hours
