Dos and don'ts for time management: Take the guesswork out of scheduling
Does it take the same amount of time for you to perform a specific procedure today as it did a few years ago? The fact is, if you haven't done procedural time studies for two to three years, you should probably clock your work again, advises Dr. Roger P. Levin. Otherwise, your scheduling could be way off and adversely affecting productivity and stress levels.

Dos and don'ts for communication: Turn first-time callers into patients
New patients can now learn about your practice and make an initial appointment online. But many people will still connect with you by phone.

Levin.

Dos and don'ts for patient relationships: Partner with patients to provide better care

Dos and don'ts for community relations: Serve the community by adopting a cause
In every community, there are problems that the citizens, government agencies, and institutions can't solve by themselves. If your community's giving you and your staff livelihoods, give something back -- in addition to the excellent dental care you provide. Find an important issue that needs more attention and resources, and make it your own, recommends Dr. Roger P. Levin.

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.
