Enhancing Dental Patient Education through Collaborative Digital Art

This research project aims to improve patients’ understanding of dental procedures through a collaborative learning approach in a dental office. The project involves patients, dental professionals, and researchers working together to create interactive digital artwork that explains different dental treatments. Patients will have the opportunity to share their knowledge and experiences, which will be used to develop educational materials that are visually appealing and easy to understand. The use of patient-generated artwork and stories promotes a patient-centered approach and encourages active patient engagement in their dental health. By involving patients in the learning process, this project creates a sense of community and fosters a more inclusive dental practice. The partner organization will benefit from this research by gaining valuable insights into patient education and contributing to the advancement of dental care. The project also has broader benefits for the Canadian community, as it promotes collaboration, empathy, and understanding among diverse individuals and contributes to the development of more humane and inclusive societies
