 Welcome back to a new session on dentistry and more. So today's topic is about dental clinic, how to establish and how to maintain a dental clinic. So establishing and maintaining a dental office. So basically its definition is practice management, how do we practice will be managed. It's defined as the organization, administration and direction of a professional practice in a style that facilitates quality, client care, efficient use of time and personal, produce stress to staff at financial profitability. So this is a definition it says that proper organization, administration and direction of professional practice in such a way that there is efficient use of time and personal, reduce stress to staff and there is profit. So what are the factors to be considered before starting a dental clinic or establishing a dental practice? So we need to think about the place, location, building, financial assistance, equipments and instruments and designing of dental office. So what is the importance of place? You should think about the number of dentists practicing in that area and whether it is town or countryside, surrounded by many religious, it is good transport facility or not. In cities we should think of shopping complex areas or the out of the city which attracts more people and location to government offices, corporate and business houses as an advantage that employees can avail facilities and residential areas as another advantages like mothers and children would visit and always keep safety in mind where ladies can come without fear that is the importance of place. So sometimes question might ask is the importance of place and location. So last time it was asked like that. So importance of location and place of the dental clinic. So commonly asked question establishing a dental practice. So it is important chapter. So let's see what is the importance of building. The building should always be well ventilated, have proper water and drainage system with a proper power connection and if it is on the ground floor parking facility for both dentists and patients would be better and always select place where more areas available because we may have future expansion plans and we can also do little bit of alteration at home and do practice at home and always to have a on dental office or dental clinic rather than taking it on rent. Regarding financial assistance nowadays we get a launch from banks, private sectors and state financial corporations to establish a career but in new graduates, new graduates can always take up law from financial benefit or a private firm. So how to design a dental clinic. So always we should think of functional aesthetic and utility value. So always incorporate spacious waiting area, work area and dental chair, x-ray room, lab and restroom, furniture should be durable and aesthetic, there should be always sound proofing, post consideration, pediatric dental office, buffering the noise from reception area and placement of each electrical equipment should be considered while designing electrical connection and positioning of dental chair, wash basin, inlet and outlet of water, drainage should be very carefully taken because once it is set it is very difficult to alter its positions then floors and walls should be designed considering aesthetic and avoidance of dust accumulation. Work area with sufficient space for dental chair in supine position, separate x-ray room with lead barriers would be fine, separate chamber for autoclave and sterilization, compressor and generator should be kept as far as from the dental office. Always try to keep insurance but nowadays it is not possible, there is no dental insurance existing. So we know how dental chair is and how to keep a dental chair, what are the dental chair parts and also I am not going in detail about it, dental chair and dental tools and designing a dental office or dental clinic. So equipments and instruments should have basic instruments to run the clinic and we can select from a wide varieties of brands, we have local brands and international brands. Always should give importance to a reputation of the company because we need to have after sale services and always use autoclave instruments and types of practices like solar practices, the dentist manages all types of cases, group practices like dentist trained in different specialties like inter-rounder, speeder-rounder, processor-rounder, speeder-rounder all working in same office. Most of the people are doing solar practices with visiting specialists like single dentist manages his cases but all the specialists will call when cases arrives. So how to manage the personnel, so always we should have a good communication, regular staff meeting and encourage participation, full-time receptionist and dental assistant should be there and the dental team should be warm and positive and good personality always should have a good business association with a good dental lab just like dental care dental lab. Those which delivers work in time should be professionalism because we are keeping dates for our appointments so postponing the appointments would create a negative impression with our patients and good salaries and benefits for the working dentist for good job satisfaction. So patient sources from family, friends referral, referral by doctors and dentist referral by the already seen patients. So how do we manage patient? It is like a good communication skill always dentistry is not done by hands it is done by mouth so good communication is first and foremost thing you should have in dentistry should patient to ensure quality oral health services and motivation and keep an appointment diary for time management clinic should open much before schedule appointments to allow the autoplayment sterilization we are giving appointments at 10 o'clock clinic should be opened at 8 8 30 and keep all the sterilization other basic works. Explain about everything to patients diagnosis, investigation, treatment plans, cost of treatment and payment modes and after care extraction post instructions also should be given very clearly and how to maintain a denture and other educational in return format. So this is another short note which is frequently asked that is how to do record maintenance in a dental office. So maintaining records is a very critical part because it has a legal medical legal purpose record should be systematically maintained. Some people keep written records that is they have case files for each patient so each patient's data will be recorded like cases free dental and dental shots in phone consent such as some people have non-dental records like dental photographs, radiographs and syphilometry records so both written records and non-written records can be stored for each patient and reception it should maintain a book for accounts bills purchase or reports and instant equipments but nowadays all these papers and other things are replaced by dental softwares we have very good softwares which can do all these procedures all data storage we have because the keeping papers for each patient would lose a lot of space in our storage cupboard or any other place where we are planning to keep this file system but a laptop would do or would reduce entire this space and we can store up to many patients like hundreds thousand and lakhs of patients data can be stored in softwares or a computer so nowadays computers are very common in dentistry because of the ease of retrieval of data and many other advantages compared to the file system that is the paper system. So this is a important question that is how to manage record maintenance in a dental office and accounting and other financial aspects like we need to have a patient record with fees charged we need to inform it prior and the spare tax filing and factors influencing dental practices like legal each dentist must respect and be well aware of the loss because we are supposed to follow the dentist act and dentist law and ethical we need to have the ethical duties that is moral responsibility towards patients and personal we need to have a good physical health and mental health and we need to have vacation from work recreation environment social activities to provide a long a good mental health over a long period of work so what is economics economics is a study that concerns the relation between workers and their energy environment so in dentistry there is another topic so in dentistry concerned with unnecessary movement and wasted energy saving time and listening fatigue so because it is physically demanding profession managing or arranging or keeping the instruments or keeping the equipments and arranging the dental offices so that the least energy of the dentist is wasted for unnecessary things so if we are haphazardly keeping the instrument and we are not properly keeping the equipments there is a lot of stress creation inside it and there will be a lot of mental and physical stress will be created on the people who are working inside it so standing for longer period will cause varicose veins and musculoskeletal system consideration should start from positioning of dental chair in relation to door and patient but another parameter is entrance of life position base cabinet should have tops and comfortable height for dentists to work so the idea of economics is nothing but the dental clinic in such a way that it gives no unwanted stress for the patient so all the equipments lighting the sound system the instruments everything should be perfect harmonious relation with the environment so that we can do the work maximum we can offer maximum productivity for a patient what are the hazards is hazardous hazards like mercury postural problem electrical x-rays infections so these are the hazards which are seen so the most common questions asked one is economics what is economics then this record maintenance and the position and the location and placing of a dental clinic and maybe this might be asked for a short essay that is dental practice management or establishing and maintaining a dental clinic or a dental office okay so it is a very important chapter okay so I will come up with a new session on dentistry and math thank you
