Infection Control
Do's and don'ts for welcoming patients
Now more than ever, people need to feel good. And what could make your patients feel better than a warm welcome when they enter the office? Infection control protocols can make it harder to show how you feel, but if you go the extra mile, you can make your patients' day, advises Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Do's and don'ts for increasing efficiency
As we move through the post-COVID-19 era, it's safe to assume that many practices will see patient volume decrease. We will learn a lot more in the future, but patient volume is a factor that is negatively affecting production in the present. The good news is that specific systems-based strategies can improve patient volume, even if it will still be lower for a while, writes Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Do's and don'ts for working through recovery
Ever since the pandemic occurred, I have identified "recovery" as the No. 1 area where dental practices need to focus. While it may seem counterintuitive to focus on less instead of more, concentrating on the essentials will ensure a faster, better, and deeper recovery, writes Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Do's and don'ts for patient interaction
When you first started your practice, you may have thought that dealing with patients would be easy. They're people too, right? Well, of course they are, but it's not that simple. Dealing with patients on a personal level takes the same amount of thought, time, and patience that you put into providing your clinical care, writes Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Do's and don'ts for keeping production on track
In a crisis, dental practices must refocus on production because production leads to revenue, cash, and income. When basic practice systems are properly executed, production will be sufficient and revenue, cash, and income are almost always assured, explains Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Team Management
Do's and don'ts for planning the morning meeting
COVID-19 has thrown quite a few challenges at dental practices. Unfortunately, whenever chaos is thrust upon a business, its employees often give up on the normal rituals that have made them successful in the past. In dentistry, the morning meeting is still critically important and must not be abandoned, writes Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Do's and don'ts for team building
Team building may be one of the most complex components of a successful dental practice. Levin Group has found that the average team member in a top 10% performing practice remains with the practice five to seven years longer than in most other practices. This isn't the only reason why these practices move into the top 10%, but it's a very important component, explains Dr. Roger P. Levin.
