The episode discusses the reasons behind patients doubting their diagnosis and how dentists can improve communication and trust.
Patients do not always doubt the diagnosis because they distrust the doctor. Sometimes they doubt because the disease feels personal, the cost feels heavy, or the system has trained them to wait until something hurts. In part two, Dr. Wade Kifer continues the conversation on diagnosis, trust, insurance pressure, periodontal disease, and how dentists can help patients hear the truth without feeling blamed.
