Hygiene

Make your hygiene department the profit center you know it can be.

Hygiene is a staple of almost every dental practice. It should provide a reliable, constant stream of revenue for your business. Based on your specific condition, I can show you how to:

  • Dramatically decrease no-shows and cancellations by making 3 small changes in your hygiene department
  • Evolve your practice from “prophy palace” to a lucrative, comprehensive soft tissue management program
  • Appropriately compensate your hygienists – are they being paid fairly based on their performance?
  • Start charting critical monthly statistics to target your hygiene department’s shortcomings and create goals
  • Use 6 specific steps to make your periodic oral exam more efficient and more effective
  • Decide if hiring a hygiene assistant is right for your practice
  • Establish a continuous patient reactivation system that gets long lost patients back in your office
  • Reduce the stress of working with multiple hygienists
  • Maximize retention and reduce the number of patients that are quietly slipping out the “back door” of your practice

I have 24 years of experience as a general dentist and know from experience what works and what doesn’t. Let me help you tackle the tough issues – contact me for a free consultation.
