3 of dentists’ biggest management concerns

Dentists have three major concerns when it comes to the management of a private dental practice, according to a recent report from the California Dental Association.

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.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
