Investment Grade Practice™ News – September 2022
How does the reality of your practice stack up to the dream you have in your head?
When I started my practice, I knew I wanted it to be a model practice, meaning every system upheld best standards. In fact, in all of my businesses, I evaluate my systems regularly, and if we can find a better way to do something, we will.
The reality is most dentists envision selling one day for a certain amount, but few fail to build the business foundation that provides certainty for success.
That’s why Dr. Victoria Peterson and I created the Investment Grade Practice™ platform. At PDA, we believe that no matter how long you’ve been in dentistry, you deserve the opportunity to take great care of patients without being crushed by the business side of dentistry.
Check out our resources below that will help you put a plan to your vision and align your team. So, you can stop feeling uncertain and instead claim the success you deserve.
To Your Success,
Dr. Bruce B. Baird
Co-Founder
Productive Dentist Academy

Survive Hygiene Burnout
Reinvest in Yourself to Stay Excited and Fulfilled in Your Hygiene Career
By Jodie Heimbach, RDH, BS
Clinical Calibration Coach, Productive Dentist Academy
Life has changed considerably since 2020. In dental practices alone, we made it to the other side of a lengthy deadly pandemic that affected our physical and mental health leading to team shortages, anxious patients, and thrusting more layers of PPE upon us. As it stands, dental hygiene can already feel isolating — especially if you’re the only hygienist in the entire practice. It’s no wonder so many dental hygienists currently endure unsettling feelings of burnout, hopelessness or even just plain boredom. If you can relate to this, it’s understandable that you might be looking outside of your practice or even outside the hygiene profession for a change.
It doesn’t have to be that way. You can find your spark again. In this article, PDA Clinical Calibration Coach Jodie Heimbach, RDH, BS, shares with readers a few things they can do to help overcome professional hygiene burnout.

Kyle talks about what he and his team do to help doctors make the best decisions when selling their practice – whether its by bringing their practices to market rather than accepting the first offer that comes along, or taking time to implement new strategies to increase the practice’s value.
