On this TIPisode Andrew is joined by The Latina RDH, Amber Lovatos, RDH and fellow host in the A Tale of Two Hygienists Family! Amber and Andrew join us from Voices of Dentistry to highlight a tip regarding our Spanish speaking students, patients, and children of our patients.
Episode Highlights:
- Students are not your translators
- Children don’t interpret for parents
- Gauging Understanding
Quotes:
“All patients deserve equal care.”
“If you don’t understand the language, how are you truly measuring competency?”
“Now I’m going to tell a child to interpret dentistry when adults don’t understand dentistry.”
“Ask your patients open-ended questions.”
“Your Spanish doesn’t have to be perfect to build rapport with your patients.”
