Most every aspect of what goes on in the dental practice is connected to the hygiene department. Yet, so often dental team members, including dental hygienists themselves fail to recognize the super powers that reside in this role.

Converting prospective patients into happy, paying patients is a practice growth strategy that is too often overlooked in favor of easier-to-fix systems like HR and Accounts. However when conversion is the focus there is greater emphasis on communication which results in fewer people falling through the cracks and better clinical outcomes for the patients who value them.
In dentistry we often use terms that attempt to soften what we really mean. We say “production” when we really mean “sales” and “case acceptance” when we really mean “selling treatment.” Some words just seem out of place in Dentistry. But are they? If we can get over these hang ups and understand the process behind them, we can then adopt strategies to do them more effectively.
Help doctors improve case acceptance by identifying key steps in the sales pathway.
Highlight that case acceptance is a process rather than an event
