In my practice we would look at the schedule in December and
pick half of Monday three-day holidays to stay open and the other half to be
closed. I would let my staff choose the dates to be open. The dates for the
upcoming year were then set months in advance and allowed everyone to plan
accordingly.
We would share these special Monday holiday open dates in
our newsletter and website well in advance to try get the word out about these
special availabilities. My schedule on the holiday Mondays were crazy busy. We
would even start an hour early and run late. We would order in pizza for lunch
and stay open all day as we needed the lunch break to get back on schedule.
As an offset for having to work the holiday Monday and
filling the schedule to the top, I would allow each of my staff members to have
an extra day off in the upcoming few weeks with pay. Only one staff member
could take a day off at a time so the practice could still operate without much
extra burden on the other staff members.
As a result, the office was open on a lot of Mondays of
three-day holidays and presented a great opportunity for patients to get into
the office. My patients loved using their free day to go to the dentist and not
have to miss a day of their work. We were always crazy busy on those Mondays.
My staff loved the system too. They wound up having the same
number of paid holidays. Half the usual Monday holidays and then they got to
choose a day they wanted off with pay to compensate for the Monday holidays
that we worked.

As a dental assistant, it is always a hassle to work on Monday when it's a three day weekend. I can see the point in having it open as a convenience though. You would get much more business if you were the only dentist open. http://www.crestwooddental.ca
ReplyDeleteIt can be a pain, but I think it's worth the effort to keep the office open. Sometimes people wait on dental problems over the weekend, so having an office available is a blessing for them. And if your schedule is jammed, the extra day can come in handy. http://www.maxwellstfdc.com.au

Nice plan for scheduling your service open on Monday. I'll share this idea with my dentist friend in Dental Guide Australia so he can start this practice in his office too. It'll ultimate give flexibility to your staff and and the patients too.
ReplyDeleteMy son needs to go see a dentist very soon. He lost a couple of his teeth and I want to make sure his adult teeth are well taken care of. It would be nice to get tips and advice from a dentist. http://www.sherwoodcentredental.com/en/
ReplyDeleteHey dentists gotta catch a break too sometimes. I know for a fact that there is literally no dentists available the week of the Holidays. I tried and it was literally impossible to find one that was open to fix my crown. http://www.guardiandentalcentre.com

Some dentists have set systems that allow each patient to plug in ear buds and enjoy their own selections while they are being worked on, but the vast majority uses the radio.

Just want too say your article is as astonishing. You rise a good topic Many people suffer dental problem in holidays and dental offices had closed.cosmetic dentistry las vegas
ReplyDeleteIt has been extremely difficult to locate an outstanding dentist in Pleasanton. I am totally open to suggestions.
ReplyDeleteI think this is something you have to make a decision about whether you're a dentist or if you're in any other profession. It can definitely be difficult to decide what to do about Monday holidays when you have deadlines to meet or people who need to visit your office on those days. Hopefully people will find ways to work out these problems for themselves. It can definitely make life easier that way to say the least.

Pretty sure that it is not only a tough question for just dental offices if they should open up on a Monday holiday. Some places will open up regardless of the holidays and some places will be closed on those days. It really just depends on if there are enough people that are willing to work on those days. For the most part, people do not like working on holidays though.

I think its a great idea to remain open during the holidays and to let your patients know a head of time. This can definitely prepare you for the onslaught! Thanks for the post!

I'm really afraid of the dentist, but I think I need fillings in my teeth and I'm really scared. I know if I tell my mum my tooth hurts she will make me go to the dentist but I'm really scared and I keep crying because I don't want to go, but my tooth hurts and I think I will have to go. What can I do to make myself less scared?
