    Area of Science:

    • Oral healthcare communication
    • Patient-provider relationship dynamics
    • Health education strategies

    Background:

    • Immediacy and positive relationships are crucial in education.
    • The application of immediacy in the patient/provider model, particularly in dental hygiene, is underexplored.
    • Trust between patient and provider is essential for diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review literature supporting effective communication strategies between dental hygienists and clients.
    • To examine the relationship between oral healthcare providers and patients.
    • To apply immediacy cues (verbal and nonverbal) to enhance patient education and motivation for oral and systemic health.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review based on the National Dental Hygiene Research Agenda.
    • Examination of existing research on patient-provider relationships in oral healthcare.
    • Analysis of verbal and nonverbal immediacy cues in the context of dental hygiene.

    Main Results:

    • Immediacy behaviors can strengthen the patient-provider bond.
    • Effective communication fosters patient trust, education, and motivation.
    • Verbal and nonverbal cues are relevant to improving oral health outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Applying immediacy principles can enhance dental hygienist-patient interactions.
    • Improved communication through immediacy supports patient education and motivation.
    • This approach aligns with strategies for optimal oral and systemic health.
