Your Weakest Link




There's a reason this cliché is so over-used: It's truth is self evident! A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. When applied to the dental team, can you identify your weak link? Perhaps while your head has been bent down focused on performing excellent dentistry, your staff, lacking direction and a sense of ownership in the practice, have become a chain full of weak links.

Team members who lack defined boundaries and principles can become unmotivated and unproductive, and your patients begin to suffer! No matter how much attention you pay to the quality of your dentistry, if one team member slips in their standard of patient care, the cost may be a fine quality dental patient! How can this be prevented?

As a Portland Dental Consultant who has been in the dental industry for 30 plus years, I have learned that being an exceptional dentist means much more than artfully crafted restorations and great diagnostic skills. Training your dental team to be successful enhances the services you provide, and directly reflects on you as a dentist. Don't let a weak link rob you of success!
