Abstract:
One of the hardest aspects of running the pediatric dental practice is managing stress among staff members. Successful management in pediatric dentistry is about solving and avoiding problems whenever possible. The huddle, a formal but brief meeting among specified staff members, is one tool that can heighten your team's level of enthusiasm, involvement, and teamwork. It will decrease stress and pressure, while increasing communication among those involved. By including key elements in your huddles, you can use this tool to personalize your treatment objectives and increase quality and service to your patients.
