In oral surgery, having a strong, reliable team is of utmost importance. Moreover, the culture of each dental practice will ultimately determine the level of care received by their patients. So, it is necessary for every practice to think long and hard about their culture, and to always be on the lookout for ways to be better. Joining us today with expert tips on how to improve your dental practice culture is author, speaker, and dental practice culture specialist, Judy Mausolf. We dive in with the common culture trends she’s witnessed around her, how to find and train the right dental assistants and other team members, what to do when a new hire is not pulling their weight, and how to set adequate benchmarks of performance. Judy believes that the team is the most important aspect of any dental office and explains how great communication can boost morale. We also learn about how to navigate various cultures and systems in multiple practices, and end with an important and informative discussion on how to deal with toxic, stubborn, and rude team members.
