You Don’t Need More Patients to Grow Your Dental Practice

What does an ideal patient look like for your practice? If you've never thought about that before, it's a great exercise to go ahead and journal, write down some attributes that you want to see for a new patient that's ideal for your practice. But what we do want to talk about is how to set emotional boundaries and stop absorbing patient stress, specifically when it comes to these new patients. This is going to be really important in establishing positive habits with your new patients from the get go, because you might be thinking, oh, wow, I have some existing patients that aren't ideal either, right? So instead of having to retrain and have them relearn the new habits that you want your patients to have, train your new patients right from the get go.
