1. Creating an annual business plan
Developing and executing a business plan is crucial in maintaining a successful dental practice. However, only 58 percent of dentists felt prepared to manage a successful business in a survey published by the American Dental Education Association.
2. Staying on top of employee engagement and retention
Current prospective employees are looking for jobs that provide more meaning and purpose. One way dentists can capitalize on this is by creating a “practice mission” that will keep employees engaged, which gives dentists a higher chance to retain those employees.
3. Keeping dental hygiene the backbone of the practice
Dental hygiene can be the basis and backbone of a dental practice, even with the ongoing shortage of dental hygienists. By utilizing creative strategies and paying attention to consistent care guidelines, dentists can effectively recruit hygienists.
