In Dental Economics — Strategies for navigating the dental industry labor shortage

It’s no secret that dentistry (like most industries) is experiencing a labor shortage due to the pandemic and other factors. Try these suggestions for vetting applicants, attracting talent, and keeping staff happy during this trying time.

________________________________________

A common subject at conferences and in dental media lately is the shortage of people to hire. The sustained pre-COVID economic boom was already exerting pressure on the labor supply, and the past 18 months have made things much worse.

The American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) states that 8% of dental hygienists have left the profession since COVID struck, and we have every reason to believe that the same is true for other dental office positions.

When I speak at conferences, the thing people are most interested in are the big embezzlement cases we have solved. People find it fascinating to learn about how an embezzler pulled off their crime, how they spent the stolen money, what got them caught and what happened to them afterward. To see an immersive multimedia “scrapbook” of a significant embezzlement crime we solved, click HERE.

However, some of our most important work happens in a different arena. We assist practice owners with proactively protecting themselves against embezzlement. Our proactive product, called Owner Proactive Strategies, involves helping dentists implement robust systems and gain financial control over their practices.

In the same way that brushing and flossing provide the cheapest and least intrusive pathway to healthy teeth, proper systems can protect a practice owner from considerable grief and expense.

Amber-Weber Gonzales and her team are tremendous at helping practice owners become confident in their ability to financially oversee their practices.
