The morning course is designed to provide the entire dental team with an introduction to ergonomics and the risk factors that may cause work related musculoskeletal injuries. The program focuses on creating a healthy work environment at the front desk as well as in the treatment rooms, through proper posture, appropriate work place design and equipment selection. The program also emphasizes the patient benefits of proper positioning and increased visibility within the oral cavity.
Specific recommendations will be given to prevent back, neck and shoulder pain; reducing stress through greater efficiency and maximizing patient comfort during treatment. The course will also provide an update on OSHA’s voluntary ergonomics standard.
The afternoon course is designed to assist dental teams in meeting the requirement for an annual update on infection control and other safety regulations. The most up-to-date information will be discussed on infection control protocols, OSHA regulations, CDC guidelines, vaccinations for health care workers, record keeping and training requirements, personal protective equipment and other occupational safety information.

Has your decision ever been influenced when viewing the universal five-star rating upon choosing a hotel or restaurant? It’s no secret that a true five-star rating offers an enjoyable and memorable experience, which promotes future return visits and referrals. The key in consistently delivering this sought-after rating is providing outstanding customer service. Discover how the essential components of team communication, such as respect, knowledge and positive feedback can generate the stress free and productive atmosphere you’ve always strived for!
The morning session begins with evaluating your professional image from your patients’ view, assessing your practice image from your view and distinguishing the difference and overcoming the verbal-skills impaired.
The afternoon session addresses obstacles affecting your patient’s care, strategies for breaking through burnout, exercises for maintaining the transition from clinical mind to the customer service kind.
This empowering program offers you and your team the opportunity to make the difference in patient care via exceptional customer service skills throughout the practice. Why should your patients settle for less?
