Why should I bring my team?
"I brought some of the team with me, including two hygienists and our assistant manager—all of whom are extremely reluctant to try new things. I sat at lunch today listening with amazement as they told me what we need to do to implement this in our practice! Your enthusiasm is infectious, and I will be sending the rest of the team to this course!" – Karen Harriman, DDSDOCS Education considers the dental team a vital part of good patient care and urges every dentist to bring at least one staff member to courses.
