COSTA MESA, Calif., Oct. 17, 2012 – As part of their 25th anniversary celebration, CareCredit, a healthcare credit card, recently asked 25 leading dental educators to share one important idea they believe will help dentists achieve their 2013 goals. Their responses have been collected to create a new 50-page book, 25 Great Ideas. The collection features advice on a wide range of topics including the new patient experience, minimizing scheduling gaps, great patient relationships, team goal setting, hygiene handoffs, practical leadership, and efficient and effective systems.
“The ideas shared can be implemented at nearly every practice regardless of location, patient base or size, and can positively impact the doctor, team and patients,” said Doug Hammond, sr. vice president, CareCredit.
The 25 dental educators who contributed to the collection include: Lois Banta, Dr. Charles Blair, Bonnie Bradbury, Debbie Castagna, Dr. Michael Cohen, Jennifer de St. Georges, Dr. William G.
