Dos and don'ts for production growth: Help patients say 'yes' to implants
Most patients now know about dental implants and why they may be better than alternative treatments in most cases. Yet the cost still stands as a formidable barrier for many patients. For their sake (and yours), you should try to ease the sticker shock for patients you know are good candidates from a clinical standpoint, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Dos and don'ts for team leadership: Lead by example
You probably have greater influence on how your staff members behave than you think. They watch you constantly, taking cues, reading your moods, and seeing how you interact with patients and team members. You're like a walking, talking instruction manual for your team. This gives you great power, but you can harness it only by understanding your impact, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Dos and don'ts for the hygiene department: Emphasize oral cancer screening
Patients will find it much easier to skip a hygiene appointment at your practice if they think it's "just a cleaning." By including oral cancer screening on a comprehensive list of clinical services provided during the visit and effectively communicating their oral health value, you'll motivate more patients to maintain their hygiene habit, notes Dr. Roger P. Levin.
