These items are investments in your practice, and everyone that works for you should know how to handle them with care. It is essential to learn about the equipment and instruments in your office and how to seek repairs if needed. Consider these ways to make sure that you and your employees are using your instruments and equipment in the most efficient ways possible.
Follow Manufacturer Guidelines
When you buy a new dental instrument or piece of equipment, the first thing that you should do is read manufacturer guidelines on its use. This can help you avoid problems in the future from misuse. This step is especially important if you are using something from a brand that is entirely new to you. You should also familiarize yourself with how to get in contact with the manufacturer if you require dental instrument repair.
Train New Employees
You cannot expect a new employee to know everything about dentistry on his or her first day of work. It takes time to properly train a new hire. Part of this training should include how to use, store and clean dental instruments and equipment. Failure to do any of these things correctly can lead to damage to instruments and dental equipment. Provide a checklist for new employees of how to manage each aspect of equipment and instrument use. In this way, they will be able to refer to the guide at any time.
Do Periodic Check-Ins
Early detection of problems with dental equipment and instruments can save you a lot of time and money. Sending things preemptively for repair is often the most efficient way. The last thing that you want is for an instrument or handpiece to malfunction during treatment. You can do this task yourself periodically, or you can delegate it to other staff members. If you assign this task to someone else, though, be sure that they understand how important it is.
Operating a dental office is no easy task, and you must learn to treat your equipment and instruments well. If there are questions about the use of anything, it is best to refer to the manufacturer. Keep instruction manuals for everything that you buy for the office, and encourage your employees to take good care of the office as a whole.
