I would like to get some feedback from the group on something that I am
working on to reduce anxiety in the dental chair.

Have you ever wanted to communicate with your dentist with something
other than the universal 'stop' hand signal? If yes, please follow the
link to learn more about Dentisign - the dental sign language.

You can print out the sign language at the following link.

You can print out the sign language at the above link, and bring it to
the dentist during your next dental procedure. I am very interested in
getting real patient feedback on how it does/does not help when you are
in the dental chair, so please let me know what you think.

Kind regards,

Raymond Cadden

"Its okay to charge me $3,000 doc.

I did look at the jpeg. Makes sense to me. I wear two hearing aids, so
I'm sensetive to some of this.

My big question is how is the dentist to give instructions to the
patient. Some dentists are good with gestures, and others are more
verbal. So, having "open wide" and "rinse and spit" on a card for the
dentist to use (or point to) is more needed. What are the signs for
"the benzocaine should be working, let me know if this 4" long 10 gage
needle hurts"?
