A Tale of Two Hygienists Podcast ·

2024/12/09

Has a PCP provided feedback that your patient should NOT have epinephrine in the local anesthesia? It's a complicated issue as epi does so much to improve the efficacy of the anesthetic agents but also helps manage patient pain.

462 Office Culture: Can DSOs Do It Right? with Tom...

A Tale of Two Hygienists Podcast ·

2024/11/20

Office Culture: How important is it for you? By my observation, office culture can make or break a practice. With bad culture, the clinicians burn out quicker, the front office doesn't function, and the patients can feel it which leads to lower production. Great office culture can make dentistry a delight! A myth that has been out there for years is that DSOs cannot have good office culture, so I brought on Tom Marler to prove that myth wrong! https://mysagedental.com/careers-hub/

From the patient perspective, they have evidence-based care they can trust. From the business perspective, there is slight increase in production but also increased patient satisfaction and retention which yields high quality referrals.
