Flex Learning Hub

Watch Dr. Sarah Johnson describe how Flex simplifies how her team communicates with patients.

It’s no secret that many dental practices are challenged with staffing issues. According to data from the State of the Dental Economy - Q3 2022 Update webinarhosted by the ADA's Health Policy Institute (HPI), the latest recruitment numbers indicate that more than a third of practices polled are currently recruiting for a hygienist or assistant and that the number of jobs in dental offices was at an all-time high, with a change of +4.8% from prepandemic levels.

Dental practices face the task of keeping their staff happy AND effective, no easy feat in today’s environment. The battle for talent has turned fierce as staff members consider greater compensation and enticing perks from competitive practices. With patients returning in droves, staff shortages can have an impact on the patient experience and their retention. So, how can you compete for talent? Here are four ways to make your dental practice more appealing to existing staff and prospective employees.

Since integrating Flex into Open Dental Dr. Austin Vetter has received over 1,000 Google reviews. Watch how Flex has enabled him to achieve that milestone.  

We teamed up with Dr. Addison Killeen of the Dental Success Network and Kevin Tallman from Mango to discuss how the right dental practice software and tech tools help you focus on your dentistry, not your front desk.

With an increasingly high rate of patient no-shows across the dental industry, Flex can help you reduce the likelihood of missed appointments.
