As a child, I would take my fingernail and scrape white “junk” off my teeth. That was plaque building up on my pearly whites. I wasn’t a great brusher then. But, in my defense, I really didn’t understand how to brush any better. I thought it normal to wake up with a fuzzy feeling on my teeth, and to again feel that coating midafternoon.

For example, is your current primary focus to get new patients in the door and keep your schedule full? If so, you are probably starting to feel tired of the daily grind, spending long hours behind the chair and dreaming of your next vacation—or retirement.

By: Dr. Savanah Craig During my residency training, I learned about a new aspect of dentistry that was completely foreign to me: Hospital Dentistry.

I hope you never have to do it, but there are practices that currently—or in the future—will need a turnaround. A turnaround is just what it sounds like: turning your practice from being flat or declining back to growth. Even if you don’t necessarily want to grow your practice, if you don’t at least grow at the level of inflation, your profit and income will deteriorate, and your practice will be at risk.
