How To Poorly Manage a Dental Office: Reuse.

Office February 8th, 2008

Action: You know the excess pieces of composite resin that you remove while grossly shaping the filling prior to curing it? Well why not save those pieces under a dark dappen dish to use on your next patient that needs a filling.

This will actually be your next patient because all of your patients these days seem to need pit and fissure fillings for some reason. Could that reason have anything to do with the fact that you’re planning on putting your practice up for sale soon and want to show prospective purchasers high production numbers?

    Yup, it sure is. But that’s actually one of the lesser problems with the whole situation.
