Is the worst yet to come for dentistry?
Just working on the practice survey for the November issue of Dental Economics. One of the quotes within the article is from Dr. Roger Levin. He states, "Traditionally it takes six to 12 months for economic trends to affect dental practices. The full impact of the downturn may be yet to come."
What do you think? Are things bad now in the dental office? Will they get worse? Is this just a "bump in the road?"

I HAVE WORKED WITH MANY PRACTICES WHO ARE BUSY AND THEIR NUMBERS ARE DOWN. WHAT I AM RECOMENDING MANY PRACTICES IS TOO ADD AND TRAIN TO BETTER PROVIDE MORE SERVICES WITH VIP TREATMENT. TALK WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES TO INCREASE FEE'S AND WORK WITH MD'S IN GETTING REFERALS.

These are difficult times for everyone, including dental offices. Dentists must shift gears from elective dental treatment to more need-based dentistry.

I believe in Oregon the dental offices are now experiencing the "bad". As a dental coach in offices here I see many holes in the schedule. This makes it important to invest in dental coaching.
