Despite the predictions of some gloom casters, there is a strong economic future for dentistry. One of the ways to ensure this strength is to develop an enhanced integrated approach to the general practitioner/specialist referral system. This requires a planned marketing technique that draws the two practices--GP and specialist--into an alliance of greater understanding.

Once you have mastered the basics by going through the monitoring exercise once or twice, you will find it takes little time and effort to start finding out just where your practice stands. You only solve a problem after you have found out that there is one and you might find that this simple monitoring exercise shows you areas of your practice where a little attention from you will pay big dividends. Monitoring is like a fine wine: it improves with age. As you begin to compile more and more months of data, you will be able to start comparing this month's performance with last month's, or this quarter with last quarter, this year with last year. One of the most useful things monitoring will do for you is to allow you to compare your practice's performance with that of other practices. Averages, norms, and performance survey results are to be found in a range of practice management publications. Using your monitoring information in this comparative way helps you to identify those areas in your practice management that are holding you back from achieving your true potential. This lets you focus your management time and effort on the truly important issues, which, when solved, will help you turn your practice into a less stressful, more enjoyable, and more profitable place to work.
Your staff are the agents of success in your practice. It is through their collective, quality efforts that your vision comes to fruition. Treat this investment in human resources with care and nourishment, and you'll be well on your way to establishing a thriving dental practice--one which can claim that not only its patients, but its staff as well, are its biggest fans.
Whether it's a new or existing patient who contacts your office about a dental emergency, you and your team have to handle the call with the utmost sensitivity. These patients may be in pain. They need to be treated at a practice that knows how to manage the situation, allowing them to feel relaxed and confident about the impending care. Many new patients find that visiting a dental practice is often an unfamiliar, anxiety-provoking experience. But if you've developed a strong, effective protocol for dealing with dental emergencies, these new patients may ultimately overcome their hesitancy and become enthusiastic patients. It's all about reading and attending to their unique needs.
