KIMMY MOONEY YOU GOTTA BELIEVE! I have the good fortune of training hundreds of DS3 Members each month and there are TWO DISTINCT DIFFERENCES between practices that succeed and those that flounder. The first is the appointment of a sleep ambassador which I’ve written about previously and the second equally important factor is a true belief in the benefits of Dental Sleep Medicine treatment. What do I mean by BELIEF? I mean a true belief that your treatment is necessary and beneficial to your patients. A BELIEF that regardless of their deductible and regardless of how significant the risk of bite changes might or might not be….that THEY NEED THIS TREATMENT. That Oral Appliance Therapy will likely do one, some, or all of the things below: • IMPROVE your quality of life and your patients’ QOL as well Your belief, passion, and confidence will be palpable to your patients and your team. They will also become believers. BELIEVE ME. • REDUCE their blood pressure • HELP patients breathe at night • GIVE them energy during the daytime • GET patients back in bed with your partner • SAVE your life • PROVIDE an alternative to CPAP when traveling • GROW your practice TWO DIFFERENCES IN PRACTICES THAT SUCCEED OR FLOUNDER: 1. The appointment of a Sleep Ambassador. 2. A true belief in Dental Sleep Medicine Treatment. KIMMY MOONEY Member Support Expert [email protected]
