Tips for avoiding burnout in dentistry
There are many reasons why most dentists agree their career leaves them feeling burned out, from daunting administrative tasks to dealing with difficult staff members. We explored some ways to handle burnout, such as by delegating tasks, finding your passion, and connecting with your community.
Who should be in charge of your marketing budget?
Most practice owners are in charge of their own marketing, but we looked at why that probably should not be the case and what options are available, including appointing another team member to handle it or hiring a marketing professional.
The most effective way to attract new patients
Dentists find that the most effective way to attract new patients to their office is by using search engines, so we shared some paid and organic ways to use search engine marketing for your practice: pay-per-click, local SEO, organic SEO.
Current trends for buying a dental practice
We looked at some current trends for when dentists plan on buying or selling their practices in terms of age and experience.
Your influence on the next generation
There are many reasons people choose dentistry. However, at least a third of respondents said that one of the main reasons they pursued a career in dentistry is because someone they know influenced them, be it a family member, a friend, or their childhood dentist.
The backbone of the dental practice
Business tasks, such as staff management and paperwork, are among the least favored aspects of being a dentist. That’s why the office manager is the backbone of the dental practice. They handle much of the administrative work, allowing the owner-dentist to focus on patient care.
As seen in the print issue of Oral Health December 2024
In October and November 2023 Bramm Research, a third-party independent research house, conducted an online survey of active, practicing non-hospital affiliated dentists and dental specialists on behalf of Oral Health. Survey invitations went out to a contact list of approximately 9,000 readers and there were 265 completions, for a response rate of 2.9 With a total sample of 265, the margin of error is plus or minus 5.9 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level. If, for example, 50% of the sample indicated that agreed with a statement, then we can be reasonably sure (19 times out of 20) of an accuracy within +/- 5.9%. This means that a total census would reveal an answer of not less than 44.1% and not more than 55.9%.
