Knowing what is possible for your specialist and what is not is key to good referrals and better communication. When your specialist knows you understand what you are asking them to do for you, not only will they do a better job for you, but they will do only what you ask and not what they think your patient needs. There is a reason for this and we will address it in our time together. Now is the time for the General Dentist to take back their right position as the leader or better yet the Quarterback of their patient’s care.
