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.

Team Management
Dos and don'ts for practice communication: The morning meeting advantage

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.

Insurance
Dos and don'ts for practice finance

Insurance
Dos and don'ts for finance
Keep an eye on your practice debt. Many lenders are going to try to get you to pay as much as they possibly can for your loans. Always read the fine print.
