Dos and don'ts for practice success: Keep current patients active
To maximize production opportunities, perform a chart audit and ensure that 98% of all current patients are scheduled. Most practices have a 5% to 10% "cushion" of active patients who haven't been seen in the last nine months. Contact these patients as soon as possible. The majority will agree to an appointment once your team has communicated with them.

Dos and don'ts for case presentation: Control the second opinion
Almost every time a treatment plan is recommended by a dentist, the patient will ask the dental assistant, hygienist, or even front desk staff for an opinion. Consequently, the team must receive the verbal skills necessary to reinforce and validate the doctor's recommendations.
