Prepare the workspace: Before the clinic opens, make sure the dental workspace is clean, organized, and ready for patients. Ensure that all dental instruments are cleaned and sterilized, and that the dental chair, lights, and other equipment are functioning properly. Check that there are enough supplies such as gloves, masks, and gowns, and restock if necessary.
- Review the schedule: It’s important to review the day’s schedule before the clinic opens to ensure that you’re prepared for the patients you’ll be seeing. Check if there are any special needs or requirements for each patient, such as allergies or special medical conditions, and prepare accordingly. You can also use this time to review the patients’ medical histories and any relevant notes from their last visit.
- Communicate with your team: Before the clinic opens, it’s important to touch base with your team, including your dental assistants and front desk staff. Go over the schedule and make sure everyone is aware of any special needs or requirements for the day’s patients. This is also a good time to address any concerns or questions that your team may have and to make sure everyone is on the same page.
By taking these steps before opening your dental clinic every day, you can ensure that your patients have a safe and positive experience while in your care.
