No matter what your current stress level or comfort level may be, in terms of “the recession,” Cathy Jameson has authored several installments of what is an original article series called “Recession Resistant Practice” that is extremely powerful for dental practices. Read the following excerpts from her latest articles. Make sure to bookmark the section on our Web site, www.JamesonManagment.com, as it will be updated regularly.

Creating Raving Fans
When patients don’t proceed with treatment you’ve diagnosed or, worse, when they don’t even show up for appointments, they’ll be sending you the message that dentistry isn’t worth the investment. You could blame it on the economy and watch your practice dwindle, or you could ask yourself “What can we do to turn this around? What can we do to help our patients truly understand the VALUE of the dentistry we know they need?” – Jameson Management – Dental Practice Marketing

Reducing Broken Appointments and No Shows
The reduction of broken appointments and no shows begins in the clinical area with the clinical team stressing the significance and importance of the next appointment.

This does NOT contradict all of my reminders that every person on the team plays a role in the patient relationship and that every person on the team is ultimately accountable for the success of a full schedule, treatment acceptance and beyond. I am simply clarifying that the clinical team members have the greatest opportunity to relay the value of proceeding with the appointment schedule and/or treatment. The business team will make financial arrangements and refine their verbal skills and other systems to set this idea up for success, but if the patients don’t see the value of keeping their appointment and/or don’t understand the negative consequences of missing their opportunity for care, then the patient will be far less likely to schedule and pay in the midst of today’s economic challenges and associated fears.

Many people who notice chipped or cracked teeth, but don’t remember when the injury occurred, damaged their teeth while they were sleeping. Grinding or clenching your teeth during the night will cause your teeth to chip, crack and even break. To keep you from seriously damaging your teeth, a dental appliance called a night-guard can be used. A custom fitted night guard protects your teeth from grinding & clenching in your sleep. Your local Sacramento Dentist takes great care in making sure you have a proper fit to prevent pain in your jaw joint. Do you suffer from headaches? You may find that a side benefit of your night-guard is headache prevention. Many headaches start during the night, caused by the extreme pressure generated as you grind and clench your teeth. Ask your local dentist having a night-guard custom created for you.

During a recent Judicial Committee meeting, the topic of teeth bleaching outside a typical dental office or without the supervision of a dentist arose. As you are well aware, most shopping malls now offer kiosks which provide bleaching for customers. As you may not be aware, however, this has further expanded to a few tanning salons and even some cosmetology conventions.

Often times, the procedure used in these bleaching satellites involves the consumer placing 14 per cent hydrogen peroxide in a generic mouthpiece, with a LED light used to activate the material. This level of hydrogen peroxide, relative to the application time, is just below the concentration which would cause severe gingival irritation. Furthermore, since no impressions are taken and the consumer places the material filled tray in their own mouths, these centers are able to avoid the legal matter of practicing dentistry without a license.

In June 2005, Mr. and Mrs. Jones had just added an additional monitored smoke detector to their existing NorthStar Security System when their Columbus, Ohio, home nearly went up in smoke. The culprit: a candle left unattended in a bedroom.

But luckily for the Jones, who weren’t home at the time, NorthStar’s central station quickly dispatched the fire department to their home.

When the Jones returned home and found their door ajar they called the police, who informed them it was their lucky day.

Confused by the situation and the statement, they learned the police officer had been dispatched to the location earlier that day when the fire broke out.

Though there was some damage to their dresser, they were incredibly relieved to find their house was still standing and their priceless valuables still intact. Mr. Jones said he believes that the smoke detector they added to their system saved their house and their valuables.
