This episode gets personal. Host Patrick Chavoustie is joined by Brandi Hooker Evans to explore the often-ignored emotional side of dentistry.
They talk about the real reasons patients avoid care, how shame shows up in the dental chair, and what providers can do to shift from judgment to partnership.
Whether you’re trying to improve patient trust, reduce no-shows, or just connect more deeply with the people you serve. This conversation is packed with insight.
Here’s what we cover:
How Human Connection Transforms the Dental Experience
The Hidden Cost of Judgment in Patient Care
A New Mindset: Curiosity Over Criticism
The Link Between Gum Disease, Emotions, and Chronic Health
Why Patients Really Avoid the Dentist
Showing Up with Purpose (Even When It’s Hard)
If you’ve ever wondered how to create deeper trust with patients, this one's for you.
