Dollars vs. Pennies: The Common Pitfall of Trying to Save Money

Dentists should focus on making money. Instead, many focus on saving money.

Saving money isn’t inherently wrong. We all love marked-down prices at the grocery store and snagging that TV after it goes on sale. The problem arises when penny pinching becomes your business model.

Imagine this: A hygienist asks for a raise, and their lead dentist says no. That hygienist decides to work somewhere else—somewhere they will get the pay they deserve. The dentist spends MONTHS filling that role, only to find that the new hire isn’t as passionate, dedicated or team-oriented as the previous hygienist.

The dentist lost time, profits and an exceptional team member all because they wanted to save money. Don’t trip over dollars to pick up pennies! Invest in great people, and watch your profits grow.

Profit comes down to putting the right people in the right seats. When it’s time to expand the team, our blueprint to hiring can help you score the perfect fit.
