Can't You Just Fill It?

[/heading][divider line_type="Full Width Line" line_thickness="3" divider_color="accent-color" custom_height="50"]





One of the most difficult situations we face is when a patient says “My old dentist never told me that!” or “Can’t you just fill it? My old dentist always just filled it!” Of course you need to be careful with what you say, because telling a new patient that their old dentist was blind is never a good way to start a relationship!

On this week’s episode of The Dental Practice Fixers podcast we give the perfect solution to this problem! Then for our secret shopper calls we tackle an interesting question - “Why should I choose your office over the others?” Do you think anyone could say ANYTHING convincing? You’ll need to listen to find out.

If you have a question that you would like answered on our podcast, or if you would like us to call YOUR office, please email us at podcast@madow.com. You might be the office that gets it right!
