Tips to Manage Dental Equipments

Organize

Setup a central location in your office, such as a bulletin board or cupboard in your sterilization room to handle service related items. When your service technician comes to your office, they head directly to this location, and see exactly what needs to be done without bothering your staff. The forms available on this site simplify the process, and even make it easier for you to track what work has been done.

Be Proactive

Don't pay $200 per hour for basic maintenance tasks that are really your staff's responsibility. Check compressor oil levels, change suction traps, and detect small problems early. The checklists I offer list all of the things that your staff should look at. As they quickly inspect each item, they check it off the list. No forgetting, no doubt about whether an item has been done.

Minimize Service Calls

When something needs to be serviced, write it down on the Service-To-Do list. Then, evaluate how important that item is. If you can, wait for another, more serious problem to arise before calling for service. This minimizes Office Call/Travel charges, and also ensures that your tech spends most of his time in your office working. Most service companies have a minimum charge - you might as well get your money's worth.
