Hello Friends,

I am happy to be sharing some dental practice management tips and ideas with you to be implemented during the month of March. All designed to help you end your first quarter strong!!

Here are your leadership and management tips and ideas for March 2021…

“The task of leadership is not to put greatness into people, but to elicit it, for the greatness is there already.” – John Buchan

Employee Spirit Month – If you want to increase employee trust, creativity, teamwork, engagement, and productivity, then it’s time to have some fun, commend more, improve communication and huddle up! See more team building tips and ideas HERE

I love that quote so much! #beautiful #truth

“There is no investment you can make which will pay you so well as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer through your establishment.”- Orison Swett Marden

Add the following days to your office calendar

Employee Appreciation Day 5th – Take some time today to show your appreciation for your hard-working employees. Take a few team photos to share on your social media pages and Google My Business listing. People respond very well to seeing employees appreciated and everyone having fun together.

National Dentists Day: March 6th   – Spend today celebrating the awesome dentists’ in your life! Be sure to take a picture(s) of your dentist(s) to post on your social media pages and Google My Business listing with a message of appreciation.

National Dental Assistants Recognition Week: 7th – 13th– This is the week to celebrate your hard-working assistants! Be sure to take a picture(s) of your assistants to post on your social media pages and Google My Business listing with a message of appreciation.

Doctors’ if you would like to learn how coaching can help you better lead your team, creating greatness based on high-performance expectations and principles. Produce more, Collect more, Stress-less, and have more Fun – Schedule your complimentary no-obligation 30-minute coaching consultation today at bhaydenconsulting@gmail.com

Hygiene Continuing Care/Recare Opportunity – March 28th – April 3 is National Cleaning Week: Take advantage of the theme for this week by sharing hygiene continuing care email & text reminders with your patients that are due for their “cleaning” appointments. Be sure to include posts on your social media pages too.

Remember that March is an especially important month for any of you that typically struggle with a slow September. Make sure that all of your patients leave with next hygiene appointment scheduled. Do you know what your pre-appointment and re-appointment percentage is for your practice? If not, that is a smart number to track. To help you get that data quickly, like within minutes – if your PMS is either Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Open Dental you can request a complimentary, no-obligation practice data snapshot here: Game-Changing Awareness from Dental Intelligence .  Keeping your pre and re-appointment percentages high means less time, energy, and money spent trying to get the appointments later.

Same-Day Schedule Changes – Holes in the schedule are not OK. Encourage your patients to keep their reservations and for the ones that absolutely must break their appt… unless they are a habitual offender PLEASE reschedule them while you have them on the phone. Refrain from asking – do you want to reschedule? Would you like to schedule? Do you want to call back to reschedule? ETC. Assume that they want to and say: “I know this appointment is important to you so while I have you on the phone let’s go ahead and reserve a more convenient time. I have ___ or ___ which works better for you?”

If they refuse to schedule, then let them know that if you don’t hear from them by (choose date) you will give them a call. Be sure to follow up on that promise.

As always, wishing you the very best!!

I would love and truly appreciate for you to please leave a review/recommendation for me here on GOOGLE and/or FACEBOOK. Thank you!

Dental Office Tips and Ideas for March

Hello, Friends ~

The month of March is the final month of your first quarter. Make it count – spend some time reviewing your numbers, your plans for how to reach your goals, and ways to continually improve your office during the year. With March being Employee Spirit Month it’s also a great month to celebrate your dental team! (Well, isn’t every month a great month to celebrate your team?)

Note: March is an especially important month for any of you that typically struggle with your schedule during the month of September (AKA Sucktember). Be sure to pre-appoint your March hygiene patients for their 6-month continuing care appointments. (If this isn’t already being done with your hygiene patients, make it your goal to schedule their next appt. while they are there in the office.)

 Here are a few Practice Management and Marketing Ideas for March to get you started:

National Kidney Month – Good dental health isn’t just about preventing cavities and keeping your gums healthy. Both tooth decay and gum disease can lead to infections that can cause problems for people with kidney disease.  A study in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology reported that people with kidney disease and those on dialysis are more likely to have periodontal disease and other oral health problems than the general population.
