The Powerful Role of Women in Dentistry

Women hold a powerful role in dentistry today. There are growing numbers of female dental school students. There are increasing numbers of practicing female dentists. The vast majority of dental auxiliary are female. In addition, approximately 55% of dental patients are female and 85% of dental buying decisions are made by females. So, if one asks the question, "is there power in the female role in dentistry today?", the answer must be "yes".

 

In my own interviews with women, here, in order of preference, are the stated priorities of how women wish to be treated in the dental practice:

  • Equality
  • Respect
  • Communication
  • Treat others as you would wish to be treated

As a business, focusing on the care of all of your customer's - male and female - makes sense. In today's dental world, taking excellent care of customers is essential if practice growth and development is to take place.  Certainly providing excellent treatment is essential. However, do not underestimate the effect of the patient's experience with you-before, during and after their appointment. Be committed to uplifting your customer/patient service.

Why the Web? Reason #252
Never Install Dental Software on Every Computer in Your Practice--Ever!

 

I find it ironic that the idea for cloud-based dental software was sparked when a young IT pro was burning the midnight oil at a dental practice installing dental software.

 

From one computer to the next, this young man systematically completed the arduous task of installing the upgrade. Then he would circle back and reconfigure each computer, making sure cameras, sensors, and add-on services functioned correctly. The task took hours and the bill to the doctor was substantial.

 

While watching the progress bar slowly move from left to right, the thought struck this young man that were the dental software on the cloud there would never be a need for the practice to complete the silly task of keeping the software up to date. 

 

And, why he asked, was it the responsibility of the doctor to keep the software updated? If the doctor is paying hundreds every month in maintenance fees, then why was the doctor doing all the maintenance? From those thoughts Curve Dental was born.

 

When you move your practice to the cloud you never hassle with upgrades. Installing upgrade is so 1990's, don't you think? Instead of spending all that time and all that money to keep you software updated, with cloud-based dental software, like Curve Dental, the latest features, fixes, and tweaks are at your fingertips all the time. On the cloud you save time and money.
