Explaining Treatment in Layman’s Terms
The best consultations eliminate technical jargon. If a parent doesn’t understand what you’re saying, they won’t feel confident moving forward. Patients don’t need to hear about occlusal discrepancies or interproximal reduction—they need to hear:
“Your child’s bite is off, which could cause problems later.”
“We can fix this in about 18 months, and the sooner we start, the easier it’ll be.”
“We’ll make it super easy with flexible payment options.”
By keeping things simple, clear, and relatable, you make it easier for patients to say yes.
