58 | PLAN YOUR PERIO PROGRAM
Developing and maintaining a periodontal care program in a
general dental practice requires a few core mindset principles to
be shared by the entire team. Dental hygiene coach Rachel Wall,
RDH, discusses the most common obstacles to implementing a
successful perio program, and how to overcome them.
64 | ONE AND DONE
Dentists are often told that opening an additional practice will lead
to greater success, income and happiness-but if those practices
aren't set up well, there's a good chance the inverse could be the
actual result. Dr. Adrienne M. Hedrick shares her first-person story
about opening, and then closing, her second (and third) practices,
and the most important things her fellow dentists should consider
before taking that step themselves.
