Yоu hаve cоmpleted аll оf the аssessments and radiographs at an NPE (new patient exam) appointment on a 30 year old patient who has never has a dental hygiene procedure before. Today, you plan to check in the assessments with your instructor, create a treatment plan, complete a prophylaxis and get a dental examination. He speaks English as a second language and has not requested an interpreter, but you are concerned that there may be a language barrier when discussing treatment and procedures, especially since this is the first dental office he has ever been to. You are preparing your instruments to treat this patient who has no signs of periodontal disease, but has a lot of supragingival and subgingival calculus. QUESTION: During treatment planning, the patient seems unsure about the prophylaxis you are recommending and is fearful that it will harm his teeth. What should you do?
