Write a Script for Calming Anxious Patients

What You'll Get

A ready-to-use verbal script for greeting and calming a visibly anxious patient — covering what to say, what to avoid, and specific distraction techniques you can use chairside.

The Prompt

Write a 2-minute verbal script for a dental assistant greeting an anxious patient before a [procedure type, e.g., "extraction" or "root canal"]. Include: calming opening phrases, what to tell them step by step, one distraction technique, and 3 phrases to avoid. Conversational and warm tone.

Tips

Name the specific procedure in the prompt — a script for an extraction lands differently than one for a root canal. Save the output in a shared doc and use it as a training tool for new team members.
