The best way to help young dentists

Dr Mark HassedIf you employ younger dentists in your practice then this article is for you!Quite often younger dentists under-perform relative to their potential especially in the first few years after graduation. They are learning their craft and I'm sure that you want to help them but how do you do it?The single most effective way is to have a senior, top-performing dentist sit at the back of their operatory and watch them work for a day. Allow an extra 10 minutes after each patient for a debrief so you can discuss what went on.You'll be amazed at what you observe and how helpful you can be. You'll be able to get an exact idea of their problems and move them on a year, in terms of experience, in only one day.If you don't have the time then you can employ me to do it. Recent results show an average of $900 per day improvement for the young dentists I have mentored. At that rate you recoup your investment in just over a week.
