SUMMARY:Oral healthcare Special Interest Group webinar - Beyond the Drill: 
 Towards Building Stronger Dentist-Patient Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \n\nThis study aimed to gain insight into the communic
 ation interactions between dentists and their patients from the dentists
 ’ perspectives. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted to be
 tter understand what dentists hoped to achieve and believed was important 
 when communicating with patients. Ethnographic methods were also used to e
 xplore how dentists go about patient communication and challenges they fac
 e within the dental context. Participants were 27 dentists working across 
 a variety of public and private dental clinics in metropolitan and rural r
 egions of Victoria (Australia). A total of 110 dental appointments were al
 so observed and audio recorded. The data was analysed using thematic analy
 sis. For the purpose of this webinar\, only the interview data results wil
 l be presented. The interview results were set out according to four key t
 opic areas: establishing dentist’s perspectives about clinical communica
 tion goals\, setting the communication agenda\, what else influences denta
 l patient communication and dentist education/training in patient communic
 ation. An overarching finding was that\, within the brief period of time a
 llowed for communication within the dental encounter\, dentists tended to 
 set the agenda and lead the discussions. However\, dentists also valued bu
 ilding relationships and connections with their patients. Several sources 
 of tension within dental/patient communication were apparent. The research
  highlights dentists’ goals and understanding of communication within th
 e clinical encounter. The data also provides insight into unique features 
 about dentist-patient communication and challenges dentists face in their 
 efforts to ensure their communication is person centred.\n\nSpeaker: Darin
