“Hands-On Training Helps DSO’s Profit from Pediatric Dentistry” Boy, that’s a headline at Group Dentistry Now (GDN) that grabbed my full attention.
I felt no better when I read the following quotes from GDN page and The Institute for Pediatric Dentistry (IPD) website. IPD is the company offering this “training”. (more on IPD below)
“It’s often said, that children are the future, and that’s certainly true in the field of dentistry.”
“Dental benefits have increased dramatically to bring more children into dental practices, with all but 6% of children being insured by either government or private plans.”
“For DSOs and large group practices treating children, it’s hard to find qualified clinicians who can provide quality dental care while also being efficient enough to meet production goals.”
“As a leader in a DSO or large group practice, the demands on your time are constant. Developing and offering ongoing Continuing Education for your dentists and their staff that is relevant and capable of improving their skills and your bottom line is extremely challenging.”
The IPD website also asks “Why should you attend”. Their answer is “Unlock the potential of pediatric dentistry for your practice” WHOA!
