Communication with your office staff, assistants, and hygienists is one of the most important aspects of your dental practice. Not only will a mutual sharing of ideas keep things running smoothly and efficiently; it will also help your team feel valued and take an invested interest in the practice as a whole. On a daily basis, you should be holding a morning huddle to address the day's business and plan out an efficient schedule. In addition, you should be holding annual Growth Conferences and Compensation Reviews. This will allow each member of your team to safely voice his or her opinions. You will also be able to reward outstanding work and set goals for individual and practice development.
