Abstract: In order to employ techniques of patient management effectively, the dental assistant must master skills in communication and psychology. Insights into patient behavior and motivation, and suggestions for improved patient interactions are presented in a manual and study guide for dental assistants. The direct influence of good nutrition and diet on dental health is also emphasized; dental assistants play an important role in encouraging good nutritional habits in their patients. Thus, the principles of preventive dentistry are often conveyed to patients via the dental auxiliary. Other topics include the epidemiology and etiology of dental disease; fluorides; and oral physiotherapy. All staff on the dental team should practice preventive dentistry and promote dental health education to their patients.
