This week, Amanda and Sarah dive into one of the most important (but often overlooked) keys to running a thriving dental practice—CULTURE. Whether you're a dentist, office manager, or the MVP at the front desk, your office culture sets the tone for everything: hiring, teamwork, patient experience, and even that vibe when you walk in on a Monday morning. In this episode, we cover: What "culture" really means in a dental office (hint: it's not just about pizza parties!) How your reputation in the dental community follows you—and why that matters The biggest red flags (watch out for high turnover, gossip, and that "not my job" mentality) The green flags you want to see, like team longevity, open communication, and a little laughter in the breakroom Practical ways for practice managers and owners to be true culture architects (yes, you!) Real talk on why free food is not a long-term fix—and what actually makes people stay Tips for building respect across every role in the practice Amanda and Sarah's favorite quick wins, from handwritten notes to simply doing a lap and checking in You'll also hear: Why it's worth writing down your culture goals (SOPs for your vibes, anyone?) The power of small gestures (like a surprise cake pop or a Venmo for Friday fries) How to create a workspace that's professional AND fun—no BFFs required, but mutual respect is a must Takeaways: Culture starts at the top, but everyone plays a part Small acts of recognition mean more than you think Investing in your team's happiness pays off in loyalty, performance, and a practice people actually want to join Ready to make your dental office the place everyone wants to work? Hit play and let's build a happier, healthier practice—one honest conversation at a time.
