We’ve all has those days…you know the ones where we just want it to be over so we can all go home, go to bed, and start over the next day. A Dental Team member is out sick and now you’re short staffed. The schedule fell apart, so there goes production and profit sharing for the day. The bridge prep had to be impressioned twice and the crown didn’t seat. Then it happens…that favorite family comes in and makes your day.
The parents think you’re the best Dental Team on the planet and they always remind you of that fact. Their children are wonderful; their youngest six-year-old boy is an absolute joy. He’s articulate and entertaining and as cute as the day is long. You ask him if he has a girlfriend, and he replies “no.” Then of course you just must ask him if you can be his girlfriend, but he thinks you’re too old!!
Their fifteen-year-old daughter is bright, beautiful, and focused on the good life has to offer. She’s on the honor roll, participates in three sports and knows that she wants to go to college and plans to study pediatric nursing… WOW! This special family just made your day; it makes the challenging times a little bit easier.
Could the Dental Team make this into a Dental Celebration Day? You could do it quarterly or biannually. There could be nominations from the entire Dental Staff and when the day comes, a grand prize like a larger percentage off a treatment plan completed or a prize for the patient with the most improved oral hygiene. Make it a fun Dental Celebration for the entire Staff and patients. This can encourage patient visits, better home care or completed treatment. An effortless way to keep Dental office culture upbeat and positive.
