You know that sinking feeling when a patient shows up 45 minutes late and expects you to still do their full crown prep?
Or when you have to explain why their "permanent" filling might not actually be permanent?
These moments make your stomach drop faster than a dropped amalgam ball.
Here's the thing: You spent years perfecting your clinical skills but nobody taught you how to handle Mrs. Henderson when she demands you squeeze her emergency visit into your already packed schedule.
These scripts give you the exact words for dentistry's three most stress-inducing conversations. The ones that make you wish you'd gone into radiology instead.
Over 2,000 dentists worldwide use these scripts to reduce their daily stress and actually enjoy talking to patients again.
The best part? You can literally print these out and keep them at your desk. When that difficult conversation comes up (and it will), you'll know exactly what to say.
No more lying awake at night replaying awkward patient interactions. No more letting difficult conversations ruin your entire day.
Just grab your scripts below and finally feel confident in those moments that used to make you question your career choice.
About Dr. Kyle Stanley
I'm a father, husband, and family man who happens to be a second-generation dentist. I had a very successful career in dentistry that unfortunately led me to a breaking point of anxiety and depression. On the outside I was making good money, speaking at the top podiums around the world, and leading a celebrity practice in Beverly Hills, CA. Nobody knew I was suffering on the inside. I needed to find a way out of this dark side of dentistry. This is how Light Side was founded.
I was able to pull myself out of the darkness and into the light by way of research-driven protocols, habits, and tools. When I started telling other dentists about my journey, they wanted to learn about how they could implement my knowledge. To date, I have helped and mentored thousands of doctors from around the world and Light Side Academy remains my proudest accomplishment in my career.
