The Staffing Crisis in Dentistry
The dental profession has been hit hard by the ongoing lack of available candidates to work in a dental office. Several factors have contributed to this, including the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to many professionals re-evaluating their career paths, and the overall labor shortage impacting numerous industries. Dental offices are not only competing with other local dental offices for talent but also with DSO’s who are offering a lucrative benefits package withmore flexible work environments and/or a higher salary.
The result?
Many dental offices are left understaffed, which can lead to increased stress for existing team members, longer patient wait times, and even a decline in the quality of patient care. For dental practices that pride themselves on offering exceptional care, this situation is far from ideal.
