Dear Marcia,
Thank you for the excellent information. I currently know of one dentist that is interested in receiving Trauma Informed care for himself and his staff. Therefore, my purpose is to attain information that is specifically relevant to dentistry. I greatly appreciate your input!
Kind Regards,
Marlene

I use one of a series of five different {"Please Read & Inquire"] "business cards" put out by: < http://www.traumainformedcare.com >, when dealing with an assortment of health care providers, including Dentists and Oral Surgeons. I hope folks can get this link to work, and/or that I copied the address correctly.

I missed this link the first time you shared it. It's wonderful and I'll share on Becoming Trauma Informed and Beyond. Thank you for sharing all the resources you do. It's incredible. Cissy
Dental health professionals can use simple strategies in their offices to create a trauma-informed practice, improve oral health care, and provide comfort and support to their patients.
Based on that, the collaborative created a packet of materials that includes an overview of ACEs and its connection to oral health, as well as an explanation on trauma-informed care. It also provides oral health-specific strategies and shares community resources related to trauma. The collaborative is now working to disseminate the educational materials more widely.

Hi there. As a patient, one of the experiences that I find most triggering is the noise. The open layout of many dental offices, is a nightmare for me. I try to find dental practices that include offices that have individual patient rooms. I also really struggle with medical professionals in general since I've had so many traumatic experiences with the medical field. More compassion and less ego would serve more patients all around. Thank you for your interest in helping.
