Dental school teaches clinical skills—but not how to run a profitable business. In this episode, Rida Alwan unpacks the essential business strategies dentists should be learning, whether you’re an associate or practice owner.
We break down the only three ways to grow profits—cutting costs, increasing patient numbers, and boosting value per appointment—and show how to apply them in real-world dental settings. From renegotiating lab fees and utilities to tracking key metrics and creating efficient systems, these insights can transform your income and free up your time.
Rida also shares how associates can take control of their earnings with smarter appointment management, strategic CPD decisions, and better use of templates. Principals will learn how to slash practice overheads, streamline operations, and build a business that works for them—not the other way around.
If you’re ready to think beyond the drill and start making business-savvy moves, this episode is your roadmap.
