The reason we do what we do, is so that we can to do what we want to do, when we want to do it!

It’s a tongue twister, but working as a team and making informed decisions, will get us there.

Tackling The Continuing Care Problem……………………………………………………..

This Week’s Dentrix Office Manager’s Blog by Dayna Johnson

The Dentrix practice management software has the most powerful Continuing Care system, ensuring that your patients are not falling through those pesky cracks or getting lost in the abyss. Your hygiene department is the lifeblood of the practice; if you don’t have a reliable system for managing when your patients are due for their regular checkups, then your office could be spinning its wheels when it comes to working from accurate lists. I have seen some pretty creative Continuing Care systems out there (and I am not saying that they don’t work), but I always work under the KISS methodology – Keep It Simple, Stupid. My recommendation is to use the Dentrix Continuing Care system the way it is intended to work and it will reward you with accurate and workable lists from which to call.

“The Root of It” Commentary for Sunday May 27, 2012………………………………….

What Does it Feel Like to Save a Person’s Life?

Look back on your practice and ask yourself how many patients have developed life threatening or life ending illnesses? What are the early signs of those illnesses; could it have been high blood pressure or persistent hoarseness or maybe excessive fatigue? Now ask yourself how often the average person visits their medical doctor to explore the cause of these minor everyday abnormalities.

I’ll say it again and keep saying it, DENTISTRY IS THE FOREFRONT OF PREVENTIVE MEDICINE! It’s the tip of the sword and if you want to be considered a modern progressive healthcare professional, you better jump on board the train before it leaves you behind.

I am getting so tired of docs complaining that business is down and people don’t want to come in and have work done. Now, I don’t disagree that money is tight; however, maybe it’s time to start adding procedures that extend beyond the dentist’s traditional role, think logically outside the box. William Arthur Ward once said “The Pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist expects it to change, the realist adjusts the sails”. Maybe it’s time to add some new value to your services. Maybe it’s time to start actively looking for the pre-cursers to cancer, diabetes and heart conditions.

Every day there are real people with husbands, wives, kids, houses and pets that sit in your chair. Their systemic health is your responsibility and their medical insurance is there to help you do it. Utilize the tools!

Today is Sunday, May 27, 2012. This weekend please don’t forget all the men and women that stand on the wall every night while we sleep making sure that no one will harm us. They protect our freedom and liberties while sacrificing so much. When you pass them on the streets, in the Malls and air ports remember to say thank you.

Enjoy your family and please be safe.
