Reply to "Trauma-informed trainers for dentists? AC staff reporter looking for leads"

Karie BeaulieuMember

I am a dental hygienist who has been called to this work. I feel strongly that patient-centered care and building patient-provider relationships will lead to a future with less dental anxiety therefore less resistance to seeking care.

I am currently in a Master's program for I/O Psychology to prepare to teach students and practitioners TI dental care for better oral health outcomes. It is critical to understand why an industry is they way it is and meeting the practitioners where they are before systemic changes can be made.

If there is a loop to be in regarding this topic, I want to be in it. I want to start a revolution in dentistry on how patient care is approached. The future of successful dentistry is trauma-informed.
