Habit change for improved oral health outcomes - A continuing challenge in unprecedented times.

This dental webinar will look at how clinicians might best support habit change in patients both now (from afar) and when practices reopen. Tim will cover interventions to encourage habit formation: Cue, repetition, reward and his top tips for habit change for improved oral health outcomes.

Patients’ behaviour is a key determinant of their oral health though for many their oral self care remains less than optimal. The dental team are an important, reliable and credible source of information and guidance on oral health habits for patients and members of the general public. This webinar will look at how members of the dental team can be maximally effective at working with patients to ensure great oral health outcomes, especially during the challenging times we all find ourselves facing currently. The webinar will take psychological theory and explore how this can be applied to deliver care for patients which supports them to maintain healthy behaviours.
