We’ve talked about accountability in a previous episode of Gloves Off. Now, we’ll look at systems protocols and processes, because they comprise a large part of our practice success.

What are the most important systems and protocols we need? We need procedures for everything in the dental practice—presenting treatment, treatment follow-up, tray setups, taking care of digital scans, lab tracking, license renewal…

In this video, we’ll talk about how to take a step back from working in the practice to give yourself time to work on the practice—and how to do that without making yourself crazy.

Join us as we take our gloves off and strive to become better!
