Dentists Could Screen 20 Million Americans for Chronic Physical Illnesses

Nearly 20 million Americans annually visit a dentist but not a general healthcare provider, according to an NYU study published in the American Journal of Public Health.

The study, conducted by a nursing-dental research team at NYU, is the first of its kind to determine the proportion of Americans who are seen annually by a dentist but not by a general healthcare provider.

This finding suggests dentists can play a crucial role as health care practitioners in the front-line defense of identifying systemic disease which would otherwise go undetected in a significant portion of the population, say the researchers.

Dentistry is an odd profession. As the owner of the practice you are the CEO, head of marketing, the entire legal department, human resources director, mediator, office psychologist, team motivator, head of the sales team as well as being responsible for performing quality dental care for your patients. Running your own practice is a joy and a challenge.

There are many blogs and websites that focus on the clinical aspects of dentistry. The truth is that the patient care side of dentistry is the area that most dentists need the least help in. The area that we usually need the most help in is ALL the other aspects of our practice.

On this blog, we will openly discuss the challenges and opportunities we encounter every day in our practice life. We will examine what we as dentists tend to do well and what areas we tend to need help and guidance in. It is critical to your business success and your daily sanity that you have a real plan to grow and manage your business.
