The Dental Guys
About this episode

This week, Jon and Wes discuss their current approach to onboarding new patients in their practice. What changes have they made over the years? What systems do they use to raise awareness of diseases among patients? Should hygienists see new patients, or should all new patients first meet with the doctor? While new patients are essential for the growth and development of a healthy practice, do you feel frustrated when they end up on your schedule?
