Its that time of year again

Dentists will fall into one of two camps at this moment in time. there will those who will have pretty much done their UDA's (pronounced UDERS) and will be putting their feet up a bit, maybe going on holiday or just taking it easy. The other camp won't even be close to doing their UDA's and will be cramming whatever treatment they can through the door to make up the numbers.

For many patients, their experience of being treated in March will fall into, again, one of two camps. They either won't be able to get an appointment because their dentist is either full up or at UDA maximum, or they will be able to get an appointment, but it will entail sitting in a packed waiting room whilst the dentist runs late on his New Contract Treadmill.

Remember what I have always said on my website:

• If you are working more than 4 days a week chairside, you are doing something wrong
• If you are having less than 6 weeks `holiday, you are doing something wrong
• If you are routinely working into your lunch hour, you are doing something wrong
• If you are more than 2 weeks booked up, you are going to compromise your cash flow.... and guess what, that probably means you are doing something wrong :)

Nuff said
