PODCAST: Incorporating The Comprehensive Exam

By Lee Ann Brady on 09.13.11Category: Practice of Dentistry

Dr. Mike Miyasaki of HDiQ Dental interviewed me recently on the topic of comprehensive care. Our conversation covers a variety of topics including:

  • My philosophy of comprehensive care.
  • What I include in a comprehensive exam.
  • Scheduling new patients: hygiene visit or comprehensive exam?
  • Inviting patients into the comprehensive process.

I hope you enjoy listening to the podcast.

    Everyone gets a comprehensive exam—it’s a habit. Leadership and why it’s important. Structure in place…what risk?

    Sorry about that last response—wasn’t quite ready to publish it…anyway Great podcast.
    I just got off the phone from a coaching call and we were discussing the comprehensive exam. The exact point you made about who gets the exam came up. As you said, there is a tendency to pick and choose who gets it. I have been doing “my version” of the exam for over twenty years…(yes, I really listened to Pete and Irwin), on EVERYONE. It became a HABIT. Everyone on my staff is trained to get to that point.
    Of course carrying this out requires leadership skills…certainly a missing ingredient in many practices that struggle.
    The structure that you speak about is a function of leadership…I don’t feel the risk in losing a patient. That said…I may alter the timing of the exam until enough trust is in place (another discussion)…but no treatment other than palliative is done without the exam.
    I could go on forever about this foundational aspect of dental practice.
    You’re doing a great job Lee.
    Barry

      Barry,

      Thank you, that means a lot coming from you. One of my first exposures to this concept, and what inspired me to begin this journey was reading your book “The Art of The Examination”! Thanks for all you do. http://www.casepresenter.com/the-art-of-the-examination/
