5 Procedures Every New Dentist Must Perform #3 , This is a continuation of my previous post on the 5 Procedures Every New Dentist Must Perform. Whether you are an associate, the owner of a new start-up, or purchasing an existing practice, there are certain things you can do to maximize your production and keep busy even with a limited patient base. As a new dentist, there are five things that you must be comfortable performing. In our last blogs we talked about Pediatric and Emergency Cases. The 3rd of the 5 procedures every New Dentist must perform is: Extraction. #3 Extractions This follows along with dental emergencies a bit. Upon graduation from dental school, I felt that I was perhaps most confident performing extractions compared to many other procedures. Dental school prepared me very well in this area. I am not sure that others share this same confidence after graduation or what other dental schools teach, but extractions and oral surgery can help new dentists fill their schedules. Many senior doctors refer out most of their oral surgery procedures. But associates can keep the extractions they are comfortable with in-house. Sure, full bony impacted mandibular third molars may not be your cup of tea, but there are many extractions that can easily be performed by a general dentist. As I said before with emergencies, a toothache will help encourage a patient to see a new dentist. If handled efficiently and comfortably, this could lead to a new comprehensive care patient for the new dentist. The patient gets out of pain and the new dentist earns a patient for life. It’s definitely a win-win situation for everyone. , http://bit.ly/16AcWyC
