You've trained for this. You've been on additional courses, but if you can't convey that to the patient, then it's an absolute waste. Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati. Welcome to this Interference Cast, this non-clinical interruption to help you grow as a dentist and do more dentistry on the right patients and get better outcomes.\n\n\n\nThat's what it's all about with Protrusive, as has evolved over the last three years. The key word of this episode, that episode title I really purposely picked it is RECOMMEND, right? Recommending treatment plans with confidence. And I think the word recommend is so, so key because it's something that you, as a clinician, you earned the right and you'll see later in this episode why I use these specific words.\n\n\n\nYou've earned the right, you've done their full examination. You've got all this training behind you, now you can make a recommendation to a patient. And I think a lot of dentists are guilty of not recommending. What I mean by that, I'll just expand a bit, is what if you've just finished your examination and instead of recommending something to a patient, instead of that, you are just splurging out.\n\n\n\nWe can do a filling, we can do a sandwich, we can do a crown, we can do an onlay, we can do this, that and the other. And then really you give your patients choice fatigue. And you're not really guiding them, you're not advising them. You're basically like trying to give them all this dental knowledge and letting them decide for themselves.\n\n\n\nThere's something not quite right about that. And the beauty of the word recommend is it empowers you, the dentist, to use all that information that you've gathered during the consultation to come up what is the best plan for that patient? I'm joined today by Prav Solanki. He's now a good friend of mine.
