Recently, the patient-centered and comprehensive dental treatment are emphasized as the same important competency as traditional clinical skill training in dental education. It is a silver lining to reorganize current dental education and redefine the role of dentistry to dentist, patient, and society. Narrative medicine has emerged as a variant from medical humanities and takes inspiration from philosophy, literature, poetry, art, ethics, and social sciences. Narrative medicine adds humanistic care with empathy and listening to patients in daily care. In this article, we introduce the definition of narrative medicine, the concept of narrative dentistry, implementation of narrative medicine into dental education, and challenges in initiating narrative dentistry. During the current COVID-19 pandemic, it also affords the opportunity to initiate narrative medicine into dental education, dentist could emerge to heal patient holistically, but not simply eliminate oral diseases.
近年来，以患者为中心的综合性口腔治疗与传统的临床技能培训一样，被强调为口腔医学教育中同等重要的能力。这为重新组织当前的口腔医学教育和重新定义牙医、患者和社会的角色提供了一个契机。叙事医学作为医学人文学科的一个分支，从哲学、文学、诗歌、艺术、伦理学和社会科学中汲取灵感。叙事医学通过同理心和倾听患者的日常护理，为患者提供人文关怀。本文介绍了叙事医学的定义、叙事口腔医学的概念、叙事医学在口腔医学教育中的实施以及叙事口腔医学面临的挑战。在当前 COVID-19 大流行期间，也为将叙事医学引入口腔医学教育提供了机会，牙医可以全面治愈患者，而不仅仅是消除口腔疾病。
