Dos and don'ts for hygiene: The importance of recare
Practices must reinforce the fact that maintaining excellent oral health is a continuing process throughout a patient's life. Recare appointments are the key to improving the overall oral health of your patients.

Dental Education
Dos and don'ts for community marketing
Dentists should do everything they can to create greater awareness about their practices. Joining local business organizations, sponsoring sports teams, and participating in health fairs are all excellent ways to enhance the practice's reputation in the community.

Dos and don'ts for patient marketing: Bring on an internal marketing coordinator
Dentists should spend 98% of their time providing patient care. That means they don't have the time to effectively market their practice. That's why Levin Group recommends offices use an internal marketing coordinator -- a part-time employee who handles the majority of the practice's marketing.

Dos and don'ts for practice marketing: Update your website
Today's consumers expect a lot from a website. That means having a professional, state-of-the-art website where people can learn more about your practice, the services you offer, and your professional background. The website should be easy to navigate and highlight the quality care you provide to patients.

Dos and don'ts for patient marketing: Make patients feel special

Dos and don'ts for case presentation: What do all patients care about?
Dentists are clinical people who have been trained to be analytical. Yet this quality does not serve you particularly well in elective case presentation. Few patients want to know clinical details. They want to know, "What's in this for me?"

Dos and don'ts for team training
A great team isn't hired -- it's created. Individuals who are excellent team members now didn't necessarily enter your practice that way. Talent needs to be cultivated. When you methodically build a high-performance team, you are helping to ensure long-term practice success.

Dos and don'ts for practice management: Implement data-driven systems
All practices have systems. But are they the right systems for increasing production and creating a low-stress practice? Remember that habits are not the same thing as systems. True systems are documented and have repeatability. Habits will change with every staff turnover.

Dos and don'ts for practice finance
According to the Levin Group Data Center, elective treatment constitutes just 20% of most practice schedules. This is an enormous missed opportunity. The right service mix increases your practice production and makes your time chairside more varied and enjoyable.
