Emotional dentistry – presenting treatment options and progress to your patient

Emotional dentistry – presenting treatment options and progress to your patient

For any dental treatment, the dialogue between the professional and the patient is decisive to find the most appropriate treatment and achieve the best result.

Emotional dentistry focuses on establishing effective and beneficial communication for both parties, which results in greater patient satisfaction. Some of the pillars of this technique is the practice of active listening, and patient participation.

Salud Dental Management System has features to assist patients in seeing and understanding the treatment options and prices offered, and It also provides the patient and dental professional an overview of the treatment plan progress.

Salud Periodontal Chart:

On the left-hand side of your screen, you can see the Salud scoring categories that can be easily expanded out.

Once all information is plotted in Salud, we can check the overall score and the graphic view.

The graph view in Salud can be used as a patient education tool, where dental professionals can present all information to the patient and show the treatment progress.

In Salud, you can also easily view a comparison over time, where you can easily select any periodontal scoring category to check the patient progress.

Emotion is key – building connections with patients

Practising emotional intelligence in a dental organisation is increasingly necessary. Today, patients are looking for professionals who can listen to their needs and present practical solutions to their problems. The patients want to be fully informed and equipped to make decisions about their treatment.

Here are some tips for building a good connection with your patients:

  • Listen carefully to what the patients mean, not just what they say.
  • Empathise with patients’ struggles.
  • Offer encouragement to your patient.
  • Encourage patient participation.

Presenting treatment options to the patient to choose from is an excellent way to build a trusting relationship.

In Salud, after the patient receives the dentist’s diagnosis, different treatment options can be presented to the patient.

Salud has easy drag and drop functionality for creating treatment plan options. The patient can clearly see the treatments within each plan, and the cost associated. Once your patient has considered their options, they can digitally sign consent for their preferred plan.

Dentists use a wide variety of strategies to have some emotional connection with the patient. Listening carefully to patients and understanding their necessities is essential; the use of technologies can assist your organisation in facilitating these connections.

Sustainability is growing and making moves in dentistry

Sustainability is growing and making moves in dentistry

The word “sustainability” is often thrown around, but what does it mean? Put simply, sustainability is all about being responsible for natural resources.

In dentistry, sustainability means that waste must be handled in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

Reducing the amount of waste produced can be tricky in the healthcare sector, but it is still possible.

Auditing how much waste is thrown away regularly should give your organisation an idea of items that are being overbought.

Additionally, switching to recyclable and compostable items that can break down naturally helps to reduce the amount of waste that is produced.

Reducing the amount of paper can also have a huge impact.

Have you already thought about the advantages of a paperless organization?

Modern technologies – good for patient outcomes and our planet

  • Running a paperless organisation will have a positive effect on the environment.

  • Creating a paperless organisation will save a lot of physical space, as most records will be stored online instead of keeping paper files.

  • Apart from saving space, another benefit of a paperless organisation is that it will also have a significant effect on expenditure.
    Less space means less money spent on renting/maintaining that space.

  • Timesaving: You will not have to go through every patient record to find a file; with Salud, you can easily find what you are looking for with a few clicks.

  • Easy access to a patient record from anywhere.

  • Far greater data capture capability with automated consolidation from all areas and locations.


Investing in technologies allows organisations to provide treatment that is quicker, more accurate, and more comfortable for patients.

With Salud, you can instantly access an up-to-date, patient record for every patient, saving hours of admin time and removing the risk of misplaced, incomplete or lost patient data.

Salud dental management software has several benefits that can increase efficiency. The software provides tools to facilitate core functions such as charting, billing, and administration.

These functions are immediately available to all departments, enabling coordination from all area’s enterprise-wide.

All dental specialities are catered for too with specialised charts which can be switched on or off depending on your organisation’s requirements.

The primary goal of Salud is to capture patient care information systematically and securely. 

Our solution allows professionals to reduce costs and time associated with physical file management and data entry; it reduces errors and allows the dental professional to focus on what matters – the patient.

Salud can help dental organizations streamline, automate, and manage data while the dentist can focus on the patient.

With easy patient registration, a flexible appointment system and easy access to patient records from anywhere, Salud ensure easy adoption by all end users.

EDR adoption in a Dental Organisation

EDR adoption in a Dental Organisation

Dental professionals have a number of challenges when it comes to workflow management.

The EDR is rapidly becoming an essential component for dental organisations as it has the potential to streamline their workflow to allow improved quality care, reduced errors, and lower administrative costs.

What is an EDR?

An Electronic Dental Record, provides tools for dentists and related health professionals to manage their patients and day-to-day operations. The capabilities of a good EDR with solid Dental Management functionality can include:

appointment scheduling, document storage, dental charting, patient notes, consents, treatment plans, billing, and an extensive list of features that you can check with our team.

It is notorious that a paper record is incapable of supplying a dental professional with all the patient information they need.  

With the use of an EDR, users can quickly access a patient’s updated dental history and any pre-existing medical condition. Allowing more assessments in less time.

Also, an EDR system cuts down on the cost of paper and space needed for physical files.

Real-Time Data Is a Game Changer

Real-Time Data Is a Game Changer

Modern dentistry is demanding. Nowadays, owning a profitable dental organisation requires you to be more than a dentist.

To be successful, you need to run your organisation efficiently.

Implementing the right tools is the first step in optimizing operations and patient care. Number one on the list of tools should be a good Dental Management System, next to a dental dashboard.

One of the best things about using a dashboard is the fact that you can see cause and effect!

Not only visualize it but MEASURE it!

Salud Dashboards provide an easy to read visual display of key data, in real time. No more “running” reports.

Real-time data at your fingertips enables organisation wide monitoring and trend analysis for resource and patient care optimisation.

What is a dental dashboard?

A dental dashboard is a data visualisation tool that displays your business metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) in real time.

Salud Dashboards provide accurate real-time data to help you make decisions and changes that positively impact your company’s performance.

All data recorded in Salud can be easily extracted for further analysis. Data access can be limited to user groups and these user groups are controlled by permissions within Salud.

When it comes to business management, nothing beats real-time performance checks, balances and up-to-date progress evaluations. This is one more reason to forget spreadsheets and static reports which epically fail to meet these essential criteria.

Benefits of using Salud Dashboards

  • Increase clinic efficiency with real-time data
  • Save time with insightful and actionable data readily available
  • Improve employee motivation with immediate performance feedback
  • Improve patient care with more time focused on dentistry
  • Track trends for epidemiology studies

Our intuitive and easy-to-use dental software helps you to concentrate on patient care while Salud takes care of the rest.

Switching Dental Management Software

Switching Dental Management Software

Are you thinking of switching products but concerned about losing data or a messy transition?

Advances in digital dentistry are happening fast and to avail of the true benefits you need to have a solid, future proof and constantly evolving dental management system at the centre.

If your current provider has not already evolved their product with current technologies, then you need to look at changing.

It is not as complicated as it may seem from the outset. You have far more to lose by staying with a provider that is not investing in a future proof product than the assumed cost to change.

The Salud product portfolio is constantly evolving and last year saw the release of Salud Dental, a web-based feature-rich solution with digital dentistry interoperability capabilities at its core.

Changing provider is not as complicated as it may seem from the outset.

Many of Salud’s customers have moved from other providers, taking their data with them.

The Salud team are experts in their field and have vast experience in migrating data from third-party systems. Experience includes; the migration of 1,000 – 1 Million Patients with 5-20 years of data, in various countries across 5 continents.

Salud’s standard migration process is:

  • Identify the data for migration. This is typically completed as part of a workshop with the customer.
    Some customers only require a basic patient record, while others will choose for all data to be migrated. The migration process is the same either way.
  • Following the workshop, the Salud team create a mapping document which states the areas for migration and the rules surrounding the data migration.
  • Extracting data – this is typically completed by the customer with the outgoing supplier.
    If this is not possible, the Salud team has extensive database expertise to proceed without the assistance of the third party supplier.
  • Data is converted to the Salud data model and imported.

The Salud team have decades of industry experience poured into their products, and Salud customers will tell you that their experience in implementation is the best available in the marketplace.
