How to Empower Your Dental Assistants

0

When dentists look to improve their practices, the focus is often on attracting new patients, increasing revenue, or streamlining departments. Rarely do they consider one of the most critical yet overlooked roles in the office: the dental assistant.

In this episode of “The Art of Dental Finance and Management,” Art speaks with Kevin Henry, founder of Dental Assistant Nation, about the essential role dental assistants play in the success of a dental practice. Kevin explains why empowering dental assistants is often neglected, why their engagement is vital to patient care and treatment plan acceptance, and how they contribute significantly to the practice’s overall workflow.

Kevin also shares practical advice for dentists, including:

  • What to look for when interviewing dental assistant candidates
  • How to structure effective onboarding and training programs
  • Where to find up-to-date information on allowable duties for dental assistants by state
  • Why integrating assistants into digital workflows like CAD/CAM, digital scanning, and 3D printing is essential for modern dental practices

Tune in to learn how prioritizing your dental assistants can lead to a more efficient, successful, and collaborative practice.
