Episode Details

Welcome to What I Wish I Knew by Dental Head Start. This is a podcast where we learn from people that have been there, made the mistakes, learnt the lessons and have developed into the accomplished dental professionals they are today.

It’s your weekly mentoring session.

Imagine a bath filling up with water. The water is new patients and it’s a vital component of a busy and successful practice. If you want to fill the bath, would you leave the sink unplugged?

Why is it many dentists and practices don’t first think to plug the leak before filling the bath?

Patient retention is vital for practice owners and associates alike. Your books are your responsibility. You can impact this and there are some simple yet vital ways you can keep yourself busy and loved by your patients.

Dr Jesse Green wrote the Book Retention: How to plug the #1 profit leak in your dental practice – find it on drjessegreen.com or Amazon.
