Why Dentists Stick to Trusted Suppliers (And How You Can Break Through) For dental material suppliers, here’s the reality check: 🛑 Dentists aren’t swayed by the newest or shiniest—they’re swayed by trust. Over 80% of dentists won’t even consider switching suppliers. But here’s the kicker: sticking to the old “this feature is revolutionary” pitch won’t cut it. 🛑 Why? Because trust beats tech every time. Ever wondered why dentists stick to the same supplier? Familiarity. Consistency. Confidence. It’s their safety net. But you know what that means for you? Your game-changing product could go unnoticed—not because it’s not good, but because the trust gap hasn’t been bridged. 🛑 So how do you flip the script? ✅ Understand their pain points: Is it workflow bottlenecks? Durability issues? Know it better than they do. ✅ Show, don’t tell: A quick demo showing how your product saves time or enhances patient care is worth 100 brochures. ✅ Be the advisor they didn’t know they needed: Give away value. Share tips. Help them improve their practice, even if it’s not directly tied to your product. Give these strategies a shot over the next month, and watch how dentists start noticing YOU instead of sticking to the same-old suppliers. 🚀 Here’s the real question: What’s your biggest hurdle in winning over loyal dentists?

One of my long term career goals, hopes, and dreams is to aid in the medical-dental collaboration. Check out my most recent article! #dental #medical #interprofessional #RDHMagazine #goals Like, share, comment if you agree!  There continues to be a divide between the medical and dental spheres, but interprofessional education can play a pivotal role in closing the chasm between the two professions and promoting collaboration. Here’s a look at the theory behind IPE. https://lnkd.in/gEgm_pys

SO WHAT NOW? Isn’t it funny how the new guidelines are suddenly calling for the use of class 2 indicators and the PCD? What ever happened to that “fantastic” class 6 indicator? Do these not work anymore? If so, what do we do about all of the class 6 indicators we have been using to validate our hollow instruments for years before this sudden shift to the class 2? And what about all those dental inspectors who mandated the the use of the useless class 6 indicators, putting pressure onto dental practice owners and intimidating them into using the class 6 indicators? Are dental practices now owed a MASSIVE apology? “Sorry we completely screwed this one up, but now we finally got it right”. Even though it’s still a bit off. Notice the guidelines are also starting to refer to ISO scientific standards (the wrong ones, but at least it’s a start). Also those dental inspectors state that we don’t use ISO standards her in ANZ, but yet here we are with the same message: “oops, we screwed that one up too”. Therefore “what do we do about all of the bad information you have given us over the years?” Unfortunately Accountability rarely exists. Remember to only seek information from those who have been properly trained by ISO and who have the firm applied biochemistry background to have the capability of interpreting the science of these standards.

Dentists, like all medical professionals, face rising costs that can eat into their profit margins. However, there are several ways to save money as a dentist. First, choose your dental equipment carefully. You should research the market and choose equipment that is durable, reliable, and easy to maintain. Second, negotiate with your suppliers. Get multiple bids and choose the supplier that offers the best combination of price, service, and quality. Third, reduce waste in your practice. Look for ways to minimize your use of materials and supplies, and recycle or reuse whatever you can. Fourth, invest in preventive care. By providing regular dental checkups and cleanings, you can help your patients avoid costly dental procedures in the future. Finally, hire staff who are passionate about their work. A dedicated team can help you provide quality care to your patients and keep your practice running smoothly.
