Check out the new and improved Dental Assisting & Office Manager Digest

March 24, 2016
DAD has graduated to become Dental Assisting and Office Manager Digest (DAOMD). Kyle Summerford explains some of the changes and improvements.

I am delighted to welcome you to the very first issue of the new and improved Dental Assisting Digest, now known as Dental Assisting and Office Manager Digest (DAOMD). Each issue will continue to provide the most modern and useful information available for dental assistants and their peers nationwide, while at the same time providing a dedicated section for dental office managers, practice coordinators, and administrative staff.

Throughout the years DAD has been the go-to e-newsletter for dental offices across the country. Rest assured DAOMD will continue to uphold that reputation by continuing to publish articles written by your peers. The articles will cover such topics as correct use of and eliminating errors in dental coding, handling office gossip, the newest dental assisting products and scheduling software, what to do and what not to do when using social media, proper sterilization techniques, chairside dental assisting manner, understanding HIPAA regulations, electronic recordkeeping, persuasive phone skills, and scheduling for production, just to name a few areas that are useful in every dental practice regardless of the dentist’s specialty.
