Chairside sign language?

November 10, 2013 By Trish Walraven 4 Comments

originaldentisign

DentiSign is a sign-language system designed to help patients deal with the loss of control they may feel when they can’t verbalize their concerns and fears. If you’re a sympathetic dental professional who values the trust in a dentist-patient relationship, feel free to click over to the original DentiSign website and share these hand signals with your patients, because gosh darn it, you care.

On the other hand, if you prefer to GET REAL, have no soul, a thick skin, or just have a sense of humor, you may enjoy this updated, DentalBuzz-ified version of DentiSign instead:

Problem is that it looks like Captain Obvious put the DentiSign Inc. company out of business a few years ago so you can’t order any products from them. But the website lives on, so go visit, in case you’re so inclined.

Or at least come up with some better signals than I did.

About

DentalBuzz explores rising trends in dentistry with its own slant. The speed at which new products and ideas enter the dental field can often outpace our ability to understand just exactly the direction in which we are heading. But somehow, by being a little less serious about dentistry and dental care, we might get closer to making sense of it all.

So yeah, a tongue-in-cheek pun would fit really nicely here, but that would be in bad taste. Never mind, it just happened anyways. Stop reading sidebars already and click on some content instead.
