In This Episode
It’s no secret that dentistry has faced a drastic staffing shortage since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The American Dental Association reported in 2022 that vacant positions in dental assisting and hygiene have reduced dental practice capacity by an estimated 10% nationally.
In this episode of The Art of Dental Finance and Management,” Art is joined by Holli Perez for a conversation about dental staffing. From crafting a successful job advertisement to building an effective onboarding process, Holli shares advice for attracting, hiring, and retaining new employees at every level — as well as some of the most common recruiting mistakes she sees in dental practices.
