Let’s Talk Business

Crest Oral-B has expanded our offerings beyond product.  As one of the biggest oral care companies in the world, we have a strong understanding of patients around the globe.  We are using this knowledge to create tools and systems that will help meet the growing need to empower the dental team, shift oral health ownership to the patient and improve productivity for the practice.

By helping dental teams better understand their patients and providing systems and tools to enable this communication, we can help increase patient understanding of the value of their dental visit and protecting their health at home.  Communication, education, and linking oral health to what the patient and family values is the key to improving everything from periodontal case acceptance to improved home care during orthodontic treatment, and preventative planning for children.  It is time to let the diagnosis dictate the path forward, and increase the oral health education of Canadians.  At Crest Oral-B we want to support the patient/team relationship as they move from trust in the diagnosis, to understanding what must be done, why it must be done, and establishing value for the outcome. In the end, trust in your dental team is the key to enable patient adoption of the healthy habits and care you recommend.

Here is what some dental professionals have to say about our programs:

Oral Care Solutions:  Dentistry has faced numerous new challenges in the last three years. These changes necessitate that dental practices today operate as excellent businesses using the best methods and models available. The Oral Health Solutions Program is a step-by-step system for periodontal diagnosis and treatment that will result in an immediate increase in practice production. This program has been thoroughly tested and has demonstrated excellent results for nearly every practice that follows the easy protocols it establishes.

The Oral Health Solutions Program addresses challenges such as patient education, motivation and case acceptance that have prevented practices from persuading more patients to accept needed treatment.

Offices that implement the Oral Health Solutions Program have the ability to not only markedly improve the oral health of their patients but also dramatically grow the business of the practice. At a time when more dentists feel challenged than ever before by changes in dentistry, this is a unique opportunity to improve clinical quality of care while immediately increasing practice production.

My recommendation is to familiarize yourself with the Oral Health Solutions Program today and start to use the program immediately. The sooner you begin, the greater the likelihood of success and the faster practice your production will begin to increase.

Sincerely,

Dr. Roger P. Levin

Chairman & CEO, Levin Group

Ortho Care Solutions:  In applying the same standards of evaluation at home and in office, an empowered practice responsive to patient need is encouraged, which improves patient compliance.  Prior, ineffective methods of educating parents and patients to properly evaluate hygiene and enable appropriate action has resulted in practices that have complicated risk management. The proposed model combines modern risk management practices, and quality of care principles in a model of hygiene control that improves quality of care.  Dr. Duncan Y. Brown, Orthodontist, Dr. Terry D. Carlyle, Orthodontist

Pedo Health Solutions: 

Implementation of a quality oral health care program, applicable to all patients, demanding little time chairside is beneficial to all pediatric stakeholders (Patient/Parent, Pediatric Dentist, Orthodontist, and suppliers).

Such a program is not isolated to patient clinical visits, but is a common system of evaluation of patient oral hygiene applied in the office and at home. In applying the same standards of evaluation of oral hygiene at home and in office, alongside quick and accurate caries risk assessments at every appointment, will help create an empowered practice responsive to patient needs. Proposed is a Pediatric patient oral care program

to systematically evaluate patient oral health at each visit employing novel visual analog scales for hygiene, in conjunction with practical, age-specific caries risk assessments. The age-specific visual analog scales for oral hygiene are given to and used at home by the patient and/or guardian(s) to perform self-assessments, mirroring those assessments performed in clinic by dental professional staff.

The program creates a detailed chronological treatment record of the progression of a patient's oral health status that is openly communicated with shared patient's orthodontist and other healthcare specialists. The program incorporates anticipatory guidance, preventive measures and diet counselling to inform and empower patient and guardian(s) to achieve and maintain excellent patient oral health.
