Risk assessment makes sense on a philosophical level, but with all the other tasks that need to be completed during patient visits, is it really worth the effort? Do we really need to assess the caries, periodontal, occlusal, oral cancer, and cosmetic risk for each patient? If you’re frustrated by striving to give your patients the best care possible, when every time you turn around, there is a new way to find something wrong, perhaps you’re “done with risk assessments.” Free yourself from the burden of forms and risk assessment tools by developing your own systematic total risk assessment. Combine it with evidence-based therapies and effective measurement tools and watch as your practice is transformed from a dental practice into an oral healthcare office.
