Dos and don'ts for productivity: Use hygiene as a foundation for growth
Dentists who provide hygiene care for patients personally, or who hesitate to add hygiene department staff, are limiting their production potential significantly. Hygienists and hygiene assistants should account directly for 25% of practice income, and delegating to them also allows you to reach higher doctor production targets, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Patient Communication
Dos and don'ts for referral management
When you refer your patient to a specialist, the communication plan is as important as the clinical plan. A haphazard approach to interoffice communication can too easily lead to miscommunication, with neither office understanding its responsibilities. To prevent this, take the lead in spelling out the who, when, and how of interoffice communication, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Patient Communication
Dos and don'ts for team building: Keep the lines of communication open
Just as practice-to-patient communication is crucial to customer service, interactions between dentist and staff members are critical for team building. When people feel appreciated and listened to, their job satisfaction will rise and they'll be more willing to help the practice reach its goals, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.
