"ANESTHESIA INCLUDING FOUR GOOD HABITS"

00:00:07.295 --> 00:00:16.714
We're now going to remove the tartar/plaque, both the one that you can see in your mouth and the one that is right under the gum line.
<i>(Text box: invest in the beginning)</i>

00:00:17.181 --> 00:00:23.895
This is a treatment that some might view as a bit uncomfortable or painful so it would come in handy to use some anesthesia.

00:00:23.935 --> 00:00:25.654
What do you think?
<i>(Text box: get a hold of the patient´s perspective)</i>

00:00:25.864 --> 00:00:29.079
Yes that is what you told me we would do the last time I was here

00:00:30.482 --> 00:00:34.108
but you see I find it quite uncomfortable to get injected.

00:00:34.221 --> 00:00:38.003
Yes I completely understand, would you like to tell me more about that?
<i>(Text box: show empathy)</i>

00:00:38.045 --> 00:00:43.045
Yes, there has been several times where it has hurt badly and I´ve tried to tell my dentist

00:00:43.085 --> 00:00:45.286
but then all she says is that it will be over soon.

00:00:45.326 --> 00:00:52.025
That sounds like an uncomfortable experience so I do understand that you are a bit skeptical after such a visit.
<i>(Text box: show empathy)</i>

00:00:52.136 --> 00:00:57.280
I do have a method that I often use that can make this more comfortable for you.

00:00:57.349 --> 00:00:59.391
Would you like to hear more about it?

00:00:59.465 --> 00:01:00.711
Yes, please.

00:01:00.751 --> 00:01:07.396
This method that I use consists of three parts and the first one is simply that we smear on

00:01:07.436 --> 00:01:15.385
a topical anesthesia which will make you feel the sting itself from the local anesthesia less and generally make it more comfortable for you

00:01:15.425 --> 00:01:22.110
and the other part is that we can go very slowly when we inject the local anesthesia.

00:01:23.399 --> 00:01:27.252
Therefore you will not need to feel the pressure and pain from the sting.

00:01:27.408 --> 00:01:33.200
The last part is that you and I need to have a clear agreement on how you can tell us to stop the treatment when you want us to.

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:38.442
Yes that sounds good, but how am I supposed to let you know when to stop?

00:01:38.654 --> 00:01:47.479
A good method can often be to lift your left arm high up in the air when you want us to stop completely during the treatment.

00:01:47.677 --> 00:01:52.847
And if you need a little break you can lift your left arm just slightly and move it a bit

00:01:52.946 --> 00:01:59.589
and in that little break we´ll stop injecting the local anesthesia, and start again when you feel ready.

00:02:00.085 --> 00:02:01.742
Yes, that sounds great.
<i>(Text box: invest in the closure of the consultation)</i>

00:02:01.958 --> 00:02:05.958
Well then I think we shall start with the topical anesthesia which will work in two minutes time

00:02:06.100 --> 00:02:09.759
and then we can practice how to use the stop signal first.

00:02:10.567 --> 00:02:14.600
Great, then we have an agreement so we can now start with the treatment.
