@shelby_rdh: we truly have no idea what someone has gone through and anyway we can make an appt comfortable for them in an environment where we are invading their personal space, can truly do wonders #dentaltok #dentistry #rdh #dentalhygienist #hygienist
I think saying survivor vs victim goes a long way!

You should call them clients instead of victims. A lot of organizations who advocate and help them call them clients rather than victims.

Including these and the questionnaire for new patients about dental anxiety is very helpful for SA and DV survivors. I imagine most patients would be totally fine with communication. I love this!

My best thing is voicing every single thing you do and asking consent before it starts and letting them know if you want to stop you can!
