Inclusive Language in Dentistry Health
Inclusive language in healthcare, including dentistry, is essential for creating a respectful and supportive environment for all patients. Here are some principles and examples of inclusive language in this context:
1. Patient-Centered Terms:
Instead of: "Do you have any problems with your teeth?"
Use: "Are there any concerns or issues you'd like to discuss about your oral health?"
2. Gender-Neutral Terms:
Instead of: "Sir/Madam, please have a seat."
Use: "Please have a seat."
3. Respect for Identity:
Instead of: "What is your real name?"
Use: "What name would you prefer to be called?"
4. Avoiding Assumptions:
Instead of: "You don’t need any special accommodations, right?"
Use: "Do you have any specific needs or accommodations that would make your visit more comfortable?"
5. Cultural Sensitivity:
Instead of: "Why don't you just brush your teeth regularly?"
Use: "What oral hygiene practices do you follow, and are there any challenges you face in maintaining them?"
