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.
