TIPisode Do You Have An Appropriate Translator?

On this TIPisode Andrew is joined by The Latina RDH, Amber Lovatos, RDH and fellow host in the A Tale of Two Hygienists Family! Amber and Andrew join us from Voices of Dentistry to highlight a tip regarding our Spanish speaking students, patients, and children of our patients.

Episode Highlights:

• Students are not your translators
• Children don’t interpret for parents
• Gauging Understanding

Quotes:

“All patients deserve equal care.”

“If you don’t understand the language, how are you truly measuring competency?”

“Now I’m going to tell a child to interpret dentistry when adults don’t understand dentistry.”

“Ask your patients open-ended questions.”

“Your Spanish doesn’t have to be perfect to build rapport with your patients.”
