In this episode, I dive deep into one of the most critical yet overlooked components of running a financially successful dental practice—knowing your numbers. Specifically, we’re breaking down how to understand your breakeven point, why it matters, and how it directly influences your profitability. If you've ever wondered what it truly takes for your practice to stay in the black, this episode is your blueprint.

I walk you through how to calculate your daily collections goal with clarity and purpose. It’s not just about throwing a number on the wall and hoping to hit it—this is about reverse engineering your success. From there, we take it a step further and break down those daily goals by department, giving you a clearer picture of where each segment of your practice needs to perform in order to meet and exceed your financial objectives. Whether it's hygiene, restorative, or specialty services, every department plays a crucial role in your practice’s financial ecosystem.

We also explore common challenges that may arise as you implement these strategies, from inconsistent collections and staff accountability to patient scheduling, and how to proactively address them without derailing your momentum. Running a dental practice means facing numbers head-on, and in this episode, I share practical insights and tools to help you take control of your financial future with confidence.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start growing, hit play and join me for a focused, no-fluff conversation that will change the way you think about your practice’s daily performance.
