Ever treat kids? Then hearing Jamie’s advice is a absolute must.
While Podcast #6 – Jamie Workman Part 1 was all about being an associate and advice for those who do not own the practice, part 2 is about communication – a critical part of every dentists role.
I’ve mentioned it before, treating kids is a love/hate relationship for me. I enjoy it but you can do 10 things right and have 1 small detail be the difference between a successful appointment and a failed attempt.
Jamie significantly helped me just by having this discussion and hearing his techniques. If you see kids, I have no doubt this will help you.
In Part 2 we cover:
- Facial aesthetics and being an AADFA trainer and why he loves it.
- Working with kids
- Communication
- Techniques and tips for connecting with children and help them feel comfortable in the dental surgery
- An example of how Jamie communicates with kids through an engaging story
- A tip to keep your patients comfortable when giving multiple injections.
- How to get a child to ask you to take a tooth out! But be warned, doesn’t always work!
- We talk about Jamie’s website and the section on treating kids – a great resource for dentists and the kids family. Check it out.
- We also touch on adult communication and NLP (neurolinguistic programming) – something I personally don’t know a lot about but it certainly sounds interesting and helpful.
- Different personality types
- People Jamie mentions who train NLP – Emotions Academy, Tad James, Dr Kinnah Shah (dentistry specific)
Here’s a link to the blog I mention at the end. Bend the needle.
