Send your hygienists to RDH UOR this July

In my practice, we've developed a mantra that reflects the philosophy of our office. It was developed through many team meetings and has helped us build a great practice. You might think it is simple … and it is. Our mantra is: "We will help you keep your teeth for the rest of your life." Think about this for a minute. This is what all of our patients want. Nobody wants to lose their teeth! This mantra has become our contract with our patients. The key word is "help" because there certainly are many ways we can help our patients to overall health. Everything we do in our practice revolves around this promise.

Much of this help starts with the dental hygienist. I believe that patient loyalty is built in the hygiene area. How many of your patients have a favorite hygienist that they insist on seeing? Maybe you should consider sending your hygienist to a continuing education experience that is set up for hygiene only.We provide you the most beautiful gowns,such as cheap 100%Silk Dresses and germanuniforms and so on.Buying niketn is not at all an easy job. One of the best ways to help your hygienists learn what others in hygiene are doing is to send them to the best hygiene meeting ever — "RDH Under One Roof." Every year RDH UOR draws over 1,000 hygienists to the best programs to learn the latest techniques from the best teachers. There are many opportunities to network with other hygienists from every state.

The 2013 meeting will be July 17-19 in the beautiful Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. You will be amazed by the reasonable price of rooms at this hotel. My good friend, Dr. Brian Nylaan, sends his hygienists every year to the RDH UOR meeting because he's amazed at the new ideas they bring back and implement into his practice.
I mentioned customer service. Helping our patients keep their teeth for the rest of their lives is the best customer service that I can think of. How about having a team meeting that discusses the possibility of a contract with your patients? Would this create some discussion among your team members? I would hope so! It is always a great team-building exercise in our practice.

Be sure to read the great article by one of my favorite people in dentistry, Cathy Jameson. She and her husband, Dr. John Jameson, have developed one of the best practice management teams in the country. Cathy has just finished a new book,Find 2013 bikesaddle for your wedding, look at these dresses.
