Clarification on Patient Communication & Disposition Procedures
by Sabrina Raposo 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25

Hello DH3, I wanted to reach out regarding a few common questions that have been coming. 1. Patient Informs they want to be seen for Dental Treatment Without Hygiene There seems to be some confusion around what to do when a patient says they would like dental care but, not dental hygiene at the COD. It's important that students remind patients, when this comes up, that we provide comprehensive care-meaning patients must commit to both dental and dental hygiene services. If a patient declines dental hygiene, students should clarify whether the patient only wants to be removed from the hygiene list or if they wish to withdraw from the COD completely (which would mean leaving both the dental and dental hygiene programs). Students need to make this clear over the phone-that one cannot continue without the other. Sometimes this explanation changes the patient's mind; if not, and they still refuse hygiene, students should explain that the case will be reviewed by the Associate Dean and may result in dismissal. If students do not document this conversation clearly, they will be asked to call the patient back, update the notes, and clarify before any decision is made. 2. Disposition Forms When submitting a disposition form, students do not need to follow up with an additional email or axiUm message-the reasoning provided on the form is sufficient and comes directly to me. If chart notes are up to date and the rationale is documented on the form, a separate message isn't required. Additionally, all disposition forms must be swiped before submission; otherwise, they will be returned. 3. CDCP Patient Coverage While students have been doing very well in reaching out about patient insurance, I've noticed some are not fully reviewing CDCP patients' charts before calling. A quick chart review should include: * Checking the date of the last appointment * Noting how many units of scale were used When speaking with patients on the phone, students should also: * Confirm whether the patient has had hygiene appointments elsewhere, as this may affect coverage ( we will not know if they have been elsewhere ) * Verify that the patient has renewed their coverage (since this can change yearly) * Remind patients that any changes in coverage should be outlined in the approval letter they received If a patient has recently received CDCP, students are free to book them, but should remind the patient to bring their CDCP card to the front desk so the information can be added to their chart at check-in. I am also happy to assist any students who would like to come and see me directly or reach out for further clarification. I am also happy to assist any students who would like to meet with me directly or reach out for further clarification. Thank you, Sabrina

Reminder: Monday Clinic with Partners & DH2 Observers
by Kaleigh Warden 23 Aug '25

23 Aug '25

Hello DH3, Just a quick reminder that your Clinic with Partners session is coming up on Monday. By now, you should have self-selected your partner for the day. One of you will take the role of clinician in the morning, and the other will be the clinician in the afternoon. You will be moving through the full process of care, however, due to time constraints, you are not expected to complete each activity in full. Please review the expectations for this session in more detail on our HYGN 2312 UM Learn page, under the Orientation section. Also, a reminder that the DH2 students will be observing the clinic session on Monday afternoon. This will be their first time in clinic, so will likely be a very exciting (and maybe a little overwhelming) experience for them. As their peer mentors, we would like you to help set the tone for what a professional and efficient clinic session looks like. Specifically, we would like the DH2s to observe: * How you set up your operatory * How you move between your assessment and the computer * How you interact with your patient Much of the other clinical content will be beyond their learning level at this stage, but seeing the clinic in action will be a valuable first step in their journey. Thank you for setting a great example and enjoy the session! Hopefully it will help to get you back in the swing of clinics and boost your confidence as you prepare for your upcoming direct patient care clinics that start on Tuesday. Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you Monday.

DH3 Radiology rotation
by Lorraine Reinfort 19 Aug '25

19 Aug '25

Hello Class of 2026, Welcome to DH3 Radiology Rotation. We have a new RDA in Radiology, Elaine. She is a great asset to our clinic and has experience to share with you. When you arrive in Radiology, wash your hands or use hand sanitizer. Collect a mask from the darkroom/utility room. The goal this year is to practice and perfect your technique of taking images. The best way to accomplish this is to let the dental students know that you want to place the sensor in the patient's mouth. Instead of saying that you are in Radiology to 'help' them, we have to change the words to 'take them.' Some students are great teachers and will guide you along. Some students will not want any 'help' from you and they will take their own images. Elaine and I are here to quide you, also. Remember that your class will graduate with Dent 4. You may be applying to one of these current students upon your graduation. This year you will not be graded on the images that you take. However, you will have to record the number of images that you do take and document that for Kaleigh Warden. I have been very proud of the past DH students for their abality to take excellent pan images. We will do these together when they are scheduled so you also become proficient. Radiology can be a very busy clinic. We appreciate your help in cleaning the rooms and setting up. This year, we have a spray bottle and paper towels available for cleaning the chairs. We will cover the head rest with saran wrap in D118D as the head rest is cracked. That's it for now. See you in Radiology! Lorraine Reinfort, R.T.R.
