Educating Periodontal Disease To Increase Acceptance
Getting patients to say “yes” to periodontal treatment is one of the biggest challenges in dentistry. Why? Because
periodontal disease is silent
—no pain, no visible damage, and no cosmetic concerns to trigger an emotional response. In this video, I share the exact approach we use in our office to increase case acceptance for periodontal treatment—and you're about to watch the
same video we show to our patients
.
This educational tool, created by Dr. Lee Sheldon, is designed to help patients truly understand what periodontal disease is, why it’s serious, and what happens if it’s left untreated. We explain how untreated periodontal disease doesn’t just lead to tooth loss—it also increases the risk of
heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and other systemic health issues
. This video has helped countless patients see the value in investing in their health, their teeth, and ultimately, a better quality of life. If you want to improve case acceptance and help your patients make informed, proactive decisions, this is a must-watch.
