    Buying a Porsche and still not raising your staff

    It’s still easy for dental clinics to offer minimum to low wages and salaries – especially if the applicants have no differentiated education or are new to dentistry. However, not every employee will comply and accept the offered payment, especially when they know how much money your clinic makes. When that happens, consequences will affect all dental practice, and can include low loyalty, high employee turnover, poor performance, low morale, or/and poor company culture. We know while it may seem straightforward to increase wages, a combination of economic, market, and social factors also complicates the situation. However, addressing these issues should be a priority if you want to build and maintain a strong team. We would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

    Celebration Over Comparison: Develop a genuine desire to see others win

    In this episode, we dive deep into how can we develop the (genuine) desire to help others succeed in a highly competitive field like dentistry. First question: Do you feel joy at other's dentist's success? Or does their good news make you feel competitive? It’s impossible to find anyone who’s entirely self-made—we all rely on and benefit from others. Insight: Viewing individual success as communal is the way. Do you find yourself spending more time comparing and less time celebrating? What are some practical ways you can show support instead of harboring jealousy? Share in the comments some of the things you do when you find yourself in this kind of situation. The Podcast mentioned by Jorge André is Rich Rool. The book is The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida. Leave a comment or connect with us on social media.

    Olavo Guerreiro Viegas: Endo en Zo Academy

    Last year we were invited by an enthusiastic colleague to take our Conscious Leadership in Dentistry Course to Amsterdam. We were curious and scheduled a meeting. We discovered Olavo Guerreiro Viegas, a passion-driven dentist wanting to bring something new to dentistry. In this conversation, we discussed Olavo's journey in dentistry until now, moving from Portugal to France and The Netherlands, the expectations and reality of studying and working abroad, the passion for endodontics, the many challenges of owning a dental practice, exploring new paths in dentistry, and the inspiration for starting a dentistry academy. Insight: Working with something you are passionate about will motivate you to keep learning, develop new skills, and stay excited. Olavo graduated as a dentist from the Universidade de Coimbra in Portugal in 2013. He then spent three years in general practice as a dentist in Portugal and France. In September 2019, he completed his training as a dental endodontist at the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam, and since 2016, his work has consisted exclusively of endodontics. He is the co-owner of Endo en Zo - a referral practice for endodontics in Amsterdam - and the co-founder of Endo en Zo Academy - a training center for endodontics. Connect with Olavo on Instagram @endodonticsolavo @endoenzoacademy and LinkedIn at Olavo Guerreiro Viegas.

    Andrea Dagot: Dental Hygiene 2.0

    In this episode, we are joined by Dental Hygienist Andrea Dagot. Believe it or not, in many European countries, dental hygiene is still not recognized as a profession in its own right and there is a lack of uniformity and consistency. Each European country has a different level of training and scope of duties. As a result, what a dental hygienist is allowed to do is not the same everywhere in Europe. Andrea is an experienced Dental Hygienist with her own private practice. Early in her career, she was challenged by a teacher to continue her studies in oral medicine in Seattle, where she did a degree completion program with a minor in oral medicine. Throughout her career she did volunteer work in local basic schools, teaching prevention, and was an assistant teacher at the University of Dentistry in Porto for the dental hygiene course. This last year she has been developing a course for dental hygienists, the first edition starts in October. We talked to her about her journey, her vision of how a dental hygienist adds value to a dental practice and complements the dentist's work, the best strategy to integrate a Dental Hygienist in control appointments, the importance of patient motivation in dental hygiene, and new research on dental hygiene and dental prevention. Insight: Progression over perfection! You can follow Andrea @dra.andreadagot and learn more about the "How to Dental Hygiene 2.0" course here. We would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

    Onboarding Process in a Dental Practice

    Onboarding refers to the process of providing new employees with the resources they need to transition into a company. It essentially helps new hires feel more comfortable with their new job. According to Glassdoor, organizations with a strong onboarding process improve new hire retention by 82% and productivity by over 70%. In a dental practice, the onboarding process is completely different for dentists and nurses but essential for both. Insight: Onboarding is not the same as Training! Please share with us the guidelines from the onboarding process of your practice or your onboarding experience. We would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.
