Review how your presentations went.

Went well · Plain language

Clear and easy to picture. It ties what you found to the pain the patient feels.

Try this · Clear recommendation

• If you’d treat it“I recommend we fill it before it gets bigger.”
• If you’re not sure yet“We’re not 100% sure, so let’s keep watching it at your next visit.”

“Up to you” makes treatment sound optional. Say what you’d actually do.

Try this · Urgency

• “Let’s get you scheduled for this. I want to make sure we save this perfectly good tooth.”

“No rush” tells the patient this can wait, and leaves the next step to them.
