“Our dentist only wants to do dentistry. He wants everyone else to do all the other stuff but doesn’t provide us with what we need to do our job at the highest level.”
If you’re a dental assistant in that practice, what do you do? What do you do if you’re the dentist? Creating a practice culture where everyone can thrive is essential to your business. If patients don’t feel like they’re getting the service they need or want in a dental practice, there are plenty of other options for them … at another practice. And there are plenty of other options for dental assistants, too, if they don’t feel like they’re getting what they need from the dentist.
Join us in this episode of Gloves Off as Dr. David Rice, chief editor of DentistryIQ, and Kevin Henry, editor-in-chief of DrBicuspid.com, talk about the first next step for dentists and dental assistants in situations like this.
