In the inaugural episode of our new video series, Swiss dentist Alessandro Devigus tackles a surprisingly persistent issue: why is prevention still such a challenge in modern dental practice?Despite being a core principle in dentistry for decades, prevention continues to be undervalued – often seen as time-consuming, less profitable, or simply not urgent enough for patients. Alessandro breaks down these common barriers and makes a compelling case for why prevention is not only essential, but also smart business.This episode will show you that:
- Prevention builds trust and loyalty – leading to long-term patient retention and simpler treatment plans.
- Patient interest grows with education – clear communication can turn passive patients into proactive ones.
- Short, structured protocols work – even just five minutes per appointment can make prevention stick.
- Teamwork is crucial – empowering your dental hygienists and assistants helps integrate prevention seamlessly.
- Financial benefits are real – a preventive approach saves patients money and helps your practice thrive.
