When we chart a patient in the standard way, we can be inadvertently creating problems.

If the patient feels that you talked them into treatment, chances are, you’ll be blamed if anything goes wrong.

My local greengrocer was struggling. A new supermarket had opened in the area and was undercutting his business.

When dentists lose patients they usually put it down to “that’s life”, or “you can’t win them all” type excuses.

Admit it: you like being right don’t you? It’s human nature.

Losing patients hurts. Losing them because we inadvertently contributed to them not returning is excruciating.

Perfection can never be achieved, but by continually seeking it, we might reach excellence.

Has a patient ever said that to you? I remember the first time it happened to me. It was over 25 years ago, and I’m still scarred by it.

Picture this scenario. I feel like I’m getting on very well with my patient. We seem to like each other.

Imagine this scenario: Dentist: So, what can I do for you today? Patient: I’ve got a broken tooth.

It’s a depressing reality that many practices are forced to spend 10% of their revenue on external ads and websites.

  There's a battle going on in dentistry today, and you're in it, whether you like it or not.
