Patient Behavior Change
Created in partnership with BJ Fogg, PhD and hygienists, our latest materials use advances in behavioral science to equip patients with methods to build habits that stick.
Establish impactful chairside dialogue by gathering insightful information before patients sit in the chair with a 3-minute survey completed in the waiting room.
Use our customizable chairside guide to communicate your assessment of patients’ health, what can happen if health isn’t maintained and educate them on treatment.
Patients can sometimes feel overwhelmed by recommendations they get in the chair. The Tiny Habits® method, detailed in the toolset and through ongoing education provides patients with a way to make your recommended treatment stick.

Small changes for big impact
To help patients wire in new habits, have them start with small actions. Over time, even the smallest actions can add up to a major difference!
Find a good spot in the day
Tell patients to find an existing routine (something they do daily) that can prompt their new habit. With a little practice, they’ll quickly learn the new sequence of actions.
Associate with a positive feeling
Patients can wire in the new habit by associating positive emotions with the action, even if it’s just a smile in the mirror or words of affirmation. That’s what turns a behavior into a habit.
Meet patients where they’re at to determine their at-home routine and goals.
