Let’s talk about blood thinners
• Tannins (tannic acid)
• The product exhibits antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, antioxidant and antimutagenic
• It is astringent that clots blood proteins and decreases vascularity locally
![Page 34: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G.

Postoperative bleeding with Coumadin
INR lower than 2.2 had a similar risk of bleeding as control patients
risk was approximately 1 in 40 in those with an INR of 2.2 to 3
INR higher than 3 was approximately 1 in 11

• Disruption of the normally protective gastrointestinal microbiota
• Probiotics have been effective in preventing various negative outcomes with a good safety profile
• A consensus of which probiotic strains might prevent CDI has not been reached and meta-analyses report high degrees of heterogeneity when studies of different probiotic products are pooled together.

Great example of alternative
treatments becoming
mainstream
•A Cochrane meta-analysis of 23 RCTs found moderate evidence that probiotics are safe and effective for C. diff.
•Risk reduction of 64%

Are NSAIDs safe to use in cardiac disease?
• Recent studies show that Naproxen (Aleve) seems to be less harmful than other NSAIDs
• Risk is low but statistically significant
• Trelle, S. et al, BMJ. 2001;342
• Limit use
• Add acetaminophen to the mix
• Try to have patients take NSAIDs prior to the procedure that will cause inflammation

George Bernard Shaw
•“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place”
![Page 65: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G.

Effective Communication
•Requires observable behaviors from the dentist but also on the behaviors and the PERCEPTIONS of the patient
![Page 66: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G.

Smoking
Increases risks for surgery substantially
Often related to stress
“How would your life be different if you stopped smoking?”

Expectations management
• Help to guide your patients into what they should expect!
• Don’t set the expectations higher than you can deliver
• Think of a movie analogy
![Page 70: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G.

Words not to say…….
• Pain (you will likely have some discomfort)
• Oops (there or say nothing)
• Expensive (this is an investment in your oral health)
• Problem (let us know if you have any questions or concerns)
• Panorex or PA (say x-ray)
• Periodontal probe (say measuring device)

• Apart from teaching technical skills we should equally impart soft skills in dental education
![Page 77: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD Diplomate, American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Fellowship in Integrative](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041002/5ea34b4856d5fd4f3738455b/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Helpful tips during treatment
•Tell them what you are going to do before you do it (e.g. move
chair)
![Page 78: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD Diplomate, American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Fellowship in Integrative](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041002/5ea34b4856d5fd4f3738455b/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
•Try to tell them before they hear certain sounds (fractured tooth, drill, water spray)
![Page 79: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD Diplomate, American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Fellowship in Integrative](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041002/5ea34b4856d5fd4f3738455b/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Mirroring
• Mimicking subtle behaviors
• Must be subtle as to appear to be unconscious!
• Mirroring can be achieved by copying any of these things:
• Speech patterns
• Vocabulary style or specific choices of words
• Pace, tempo, pitch, tone, volume
• Body language
• Breathing
![Page 80: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD Diplomate, American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Fellowship in Integrative](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041002/5ea34b4856d5fd4f3738455b/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Why does it work?
• There are mirror neurons in the brain
• When we see someone yawn or smile there is a tendency to activate those centers in our own brain
![Page 81: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD Diplomate, American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Fellowship in Integrative](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041002/5ea34b4856d5fd4f3738455b/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
•Mirroring body language, volume, tone, pacing or words is a way to say ‘I am like you, I feel the same’
•Used in the right way, at the right time, and for the right reasons, mirroring is an incredible tool for relationship building
![Page 82: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G.

Let’s talk about stress
![Page 83: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G.

How can you tell if your patient is stressed?
• Eyes
• Forehead
• Hands
• Shoulders/posture
• Heart rate
• Blood pressure
![Page 84: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD Diplomate, American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Fellowship in Integrative](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041002/5ea34b4856d5fd4f3738455b/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Psychology versus
physiology
•The two are interconnected
•A problem with one causes a problem with the other
![Page 85: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD Diplomate, American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Fellowship in Integrative](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041002/5ea34b4856d5fd4f3738455b/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
•Is it safer to maintain baseline physiology during a dental
appointment?•What ALL of you do matters
![Page 86: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD Diplomate, American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Fellowship in Integrative](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041002/5ea34b4856d5fd4f3738455b/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
•Is it optimal to decrease fear and anxiety during a dental
appointment?
![Page 87: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD Diplomate, American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Fellowship in Integrative](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041002/5ea34b4856d5fd4f3738455b/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Symptoms of anxiety: The mind body effect working
against us!
• Racing heart or skipped beats
• Hyperventilation
• Breathing difficulty
• Choking sensation
• Tingling or numbness
• Shaking
• Chest pain, pressure or discomfort
• Perspiration

Differentiate yourself!
•Physicians are not discussing stress with patients
•We see the consequences of stress
• Increase empathy
![Page 89: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD Diplomate, American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Fellowship in Integrative](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041002/5ea34b4856d5fd4f3738455b/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Acknowledge their fears
• “It is very common to be stressed about coming to the dentist. We will talk about some things we can do to make you feel more comfortable.”

Fight or flight?
Mismatch of sympathetic versus parasympathetic discharge
That is one reason their blood pressure is higher
How you look, move, talk will have the ability to modify this

How to deal with a difficult
patient
• Use scripting with your staff
• Talk to staff about switching to another staff member before or whilst communications are escalating
• Develop appropriate ways of letting the patient know you are listening and empathetic
• Know when to terminate the doctor-patient relationship and do this CAREFULLY
![Page 93: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD Diplomate, American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Fellowship in Integrative](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041002/5ea34b4856d5fd4f3738455b/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Anxious patients
• Show empathy
• Talk to them about options to make them comfortable
• Get good at communication (volume, tone and pacing)
• Tell before you do/set expectations
• Get good at your injection technique
![Page 94: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G.

No two patients are
alike
Different people will have different thresholds and perceptions of discomfort
One patient will feel a stimulus as 2/10 and another might be 9/10
How are you going to manage these patients? The same or different?
![Page 95: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G.

What to do?• Sometimes it is helpful to
put control into their hands
![Page 99: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G.

Why did hypnosis become less popular?
• Anesthesia became better
• Drugs became better
• Stage hypnosis created fear
• Religious views
• Hypnosis is really justeffective relaxing communication
• Will safety issues make it more popular?

Placebo effect
• Studies show up to 50% physicians Rx placebo
• Dozens of studies have shown that the power of placebos goes beyond patients’ imagination
• Seem to work best for how patients “feel”
• I am not telling you to give a sugar pill

• First demonstrated in 1979 when patients in a dental-pain experiment were given a placebo they thought was a painkiller
• About one-third of them reported less pain
• Subsequent drugs to block the action of painkillers removed the placebo effect.

Placebo
• When using a placebo after an active treatment, the placebo mimics the same action of the active treatment through a mechanism we call pharmacological conditioning
• Can work when told they are fake
• Useful in Parkinson’s disease to activate dopamine
• Chronic pain management to reduce opioid use
• Migraine
• IBS

What increases the
placebo effect?
• How it is presented and by whom
• Cost
• Color
• More invasive has greater effect (surgery>injection>pills)

Placebo effect:favorable response to an
intervention
• Most effective for subjective experiences such as pain
• Recognize that it might be "in your head" — but there's nothing wrong with that
• Behind the subjective experience of feeling better (and worse) are objective changes in brain chemistrythat we've only started to understand

How to increase the
effect
Supportive SLOW language
Caring body language
Confirm belief/confidence in the treatment
“We have found this to be very helpful for our patients”
“Ibuprofen will take care of your discomfort. You will notice some pressure when the numbness wears off and that is normal.”

A lot of science exists for M-B medicine
• Conventional medicine tends to ignore or downplay the effect of the mind on the body
• More accepted for negative mental stress but is the opposite true?

The song contains a sustaining rhythm that starts at 60 beats per minute and gradually
slows to around 50
The listener’s heartbeat will naturally slow down to match the track’s BPM (beats per
minute) which takes about 5 minutes

Orange fragrance
• DAS (dental anxiety scale) used, only those with moderate to high levels of anxiety included
• BP, HR, RR taken before, during and after procedure
• The mean blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiratory rate were significantly lower in the fragrance group during surgery (from sitting in the dental chair to the end of surgery; P < .05).

How can this work?
• Volatile molecules of the oil reach the nasal mucosa and rapidly diffuse into the blood
• Neocortex activation occurs, which has an effect on perception of odors and reaches the limbic system
• Levels of hormone and emotions are then altered
• Salivary cortisol levels and pulse rate decrease
![Page 128: Integrative Medicine for Dentistry · Integrative Medicine for Dentistry Robert G. McNeill, DDS, MD Diplomate, American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Fellowship in Integrative](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041002/5ea34b4856d5fd4f3738455b/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
Effect of aromatherapy with orange essential oil on salivary cortisol and pulse rate in children during
dental treatment: A randomized
controlled clinical trial
• Thirty children aged 6-9
• Every child underwent two dental treatment appointments including dental prophylaxis and fissure-sealant therapy under orange aroma in one session (intervention) and without any aroma (control) in another one
• Child anxiety level was measured using salivary cortisol and pulse rate before and after treatment in each visit
• Salivary cortisol and pulse rate significantly lower

Lavender oil
• Lavender acts post synaptically on cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).
• Reduced cAMP activity is associated with sedation through autonomic deactivation
• Neuroimaging studies have shown that olfactory processing is directly linked to the limbic system including the amygdala

• SD is capable of inducing different biological effects:
• neural autonomic control changes
• increased oxidative stress
• altered inflammatory and coagulatory responses
• accelerated atherosclerosis
• All these mechanisms link sleep deprivation with cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.

We need to stretch
• Muscle tension increases
• Causes muscle ischemia and joint hypo mobility because we have to stay in these postures for prolonged period of time
• This alters the biomechanics resulting in tightness of one group of muscles and weakness in the opposite group of muscles
