About the Treatment Coordinator Role
As dentistry has evolved from offering simple, easily understood dental procedures such as fillings, extractions, and cleans to more complex, involved and expensive treatments, the need to spend more time with the patient before treatment can progress has increased greatly. This has created a new level of responsibility for a trained staff member to explain these complex dental procedures to patients, educating them about the benefits and also the risks, getting informed consent, offering alternative treatment options, providing finance options to get patients to accept treatment plans and then coordinating appointments with patients and following them up. This in a nutshell are the chief responsibilities of the modern Dental Treatment Coordinator.
A unique set of skills and specialised training is needed for a person in this role to be successful in getting patients to saying YES to treatment recommended by the Dentist. Educating and inspiring patients to improve their dental health sooner rather than later and Increasing Case Acceptance is one of the goals of the Dental Treatment Coordinator.
NOTE: Staff with no dental experience appointed in this role should do the other TC course (TC_M1) priced higher which includes an additional module on Foundational Knowledge in Dentistry.
To be able to talk to patients confidently, provide answers to their technical queries a Dental Treatment coordinator should have a sound knowledge of Dentistry. It is not enough just to have great communication skills or a pleasant and convincing manner or good sales skills. Product knowledge is key as the patient feels more confident and gets a step closer to accepting treatment plans. For those with no prior experience in Dentistry, Module 1 which is Foundational Knowledge in Dentistry is a prerequisite
