What is most important in maintaining a profitable dental office?

The most important thing in maintaining a profitable dental office is for the dentist to make kids feel at ease.

• One reason for this is because around 16 percent of boys and 10 percent of girls experience some kind of dental trauma before the age of 15.

• If children don't feel safe or comfortable at your dental office, parents will switch from your dentistry to another to help their kids.

• Also, 78 percent of kids under 18 go to the dentists office, as compared to only about 60 percent of adults. What this means is, you want kids to feel safe and calm at your dental office because the majority of people that go to the dentists office are kids.
