How to Design a Profitable Periodontal Programme Course 

 Are you FRUSTRATED with your Hygiene and Periodontal Department?

Principals, are you frustrated with the clinical outputs?

Clinicians, are you frustrated with the systems that you work within?

Are you frustrated with the low value that patients place on their periodontal and preventive care?   

You are most certainly not alone and there are many reasons why...

• There is a lack of a periodontal protocol that is known by the whole team
• There is a lack of clinical and business operational systems that support periodontal care
• The business team don't understand the purpose and priority of care of the periodontal patient
• Unknowingly practices undervalue this service and by default don't charge appropriately 
• Practices don't set KPIs to monitor and evaluate the success of the service in terms of care and financial productivity
• It is common to have a fear that patients may leave if fees are increased
• Practices are booked 4-6 months in advance and therefore unable to accommodate periodontal treatments
• Sometimes associates do not always refer to the hygienist which makes dents in the hygienist's schedule 
• Inconsistencies of care delivered by the clinical team
• Clinician's salaries aren’t considered with overall profitability
• Turnover of the clinical team can be challenging
• Many dental practices employ dental therapists who want to use their full scope, but the practice has a higher need for hygiene and periodontal services 
• There can be a lack of confidence between clinical team members in diagnosing periodontal disease
• Hygienist schedules can fall apart at the last minute
• Practices don't have clear on the objectives of the periodontal programme 
   

   

  Delivering periodontal care and prevention is not difficult, there are clear pathways set down to guide us.  The barriers exist in the infrastructure and systems that many dental practices inherit from historic operational models and the fear of potentially negative consequences from change.

Introducing Our Profitable Periodontal Programme Course 

Design a robust periodontal programme that is profitable in its own right and that creates the backbone for many other clinical systems and practice growth. Aside from the business benefits, the gem of this course is that it's your patients that profit the most.

We understand the challenges in delivering excellent and profitable periodontal and hygienist services.  Many principals are faced with a real dilemma of how to charge adequately for this service and paired with what is clinically necessary the models often don't work.
