On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes introduces Summer for a powerful conversation on improving treatment acceptance by understanding why patients really say no. Summer breaks down how many patients decline care not simply because of money, but because they don't fully see the value, urgency, or consequences of waiting. She explains why a strong philosophy of care is the foundation for confident treatment presentation, and how doctors can move away from hedging, over-explaining, or presenting treatment as optional. By helping patients understand what is happening in their mouth, why it matters, and what could happen if they wait, dentists can lead with clarity, confidence, and a true commitment to patient health.
