HeyI have a colleague asking what would be the best books to have on hand as reference for dentistry in his clinic. I rely alot on this forum, the elite resources, VIN and only occasionally reference my texts (mainly Holstrom's Veterinary Dental Techniques). Any favorites off the top of your heads?

Are you looking to improve your patient flow for your practice? Maybe you need some insights to structuring your organization. Or perhaps you just want to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and research from the dental industry.


Consistently reading dental practice management books will keep your dental practice at its highest potential. Learning from other dentists and practice owners is certainly preferable to learning from your own mistakes.


Just like any other health concern, this book seeks to treat the root cause of the disorder, instead of constantly masking the symptoms. In addition to being a practicing dentist of 25 years, the author has a Master of Mental Health Counseling and PhD of Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Certainly a refreshing approach for dentists!


This book has a focus on developing leadership qualities as a dentist. Using business systems, you can improve marketing and clinical operations to create a thriving, growing practice. The goal of the book is to take your practice to the next level by helping you inspire your team and become a visionary leader.


Although many dentists want to own and operate their own practice, many never see that dream come to fruition. It can be very discouraging and difficult to start a dental practice from scratch. When it comes to dental practice management books, this one empowers dentists to take the leap to private business.


This book provides practical tools, unfiltered advice from experienced professionals, and success stories from thriving dentists. The goal is to help dentists have a fulfilling career despite the early hurdles.


The purpose of this book is to identify and present the difference between top performing dental practices and the average practitioner. Leveraging many interviews and other research, they offer business advice and insights to skills you need to run a successful operation.


Taking a more statistical approach makes this one of the top dental practice management books on the market. Focusing on reliable numbers that are proven to improve the daily operations and profitability of your practice.


From taxes to operational checklists, this book is dedicated to improving the bottom line. Instead of focusing on the fluff, this book provides the hard numbers and data that are critical for the success of any practice.


Using unique business models, the author seeks to redefine the dental industry standard for the patient and the dentist experience. They use their book to provide insights on how to stay competitive in an ever changing marketplace.


They dive into specific actions dentists can take to build a successful practice. With a focus on things like dental leadership, team development, key reporting metrics, and innovative marketing practices. This is a great read for any dentist.


Leveraging financial processes and using stories from dentists to guide you in the right direction. From a financial perspective, this is one of the best dental practice management books for dentists.


In an era of corporate growth, this book offers the tools and resources to compete in such a marketplace. Running a successful business is just as important as knowing the clinical aspects to your operations.


This book simplifies the methodology to increasing new patients, charging the right amounts, and getting more large cases. This is outlined in the Ultimate Patient Experience system for a practical and effective way to see results.


This board book is part of the Rookie Toddler series that is designed to help introduce toddlers (ages one to three) to new concepts. It includes engaging illustrations and simple, rhyming instructions that will help make brushing your teeth feel like a fun activity. The authors recommend you read through the book once and then go back through and sing the words. If you are looking for an easy introduction to brushing, start with this book.


This Dr. Seuss classic is also available in board book form, which makes it easier for your little one to hold and flip the pages.

Have some Peppa Pig fans in your family? This book will help prepare your three-to five-year-old for their visit to the pediatric dentist with the help of some of their favorite characters. If your child is nervous about their next visit, this book can help put them at ease by highlighting how much fun a dentist appointment can be.


You may find that as your kids grow older, they are more resistant to brushing. This book is fun and entertaining, but it also outlines why we brush our teeth and what happens if we let sugar and poor hygiene attack them. It is a great way to start to approach the subject from a more logical point of view and encourage older children to establish healthy routines.


Not only is Little Critter going to the dentist, he is having a cavity filled. If your child needs more than just a cleaning and will be getting X-rays or a filling, this book can make the entire process a little less scary. This book gives a more honest account of what patients can expect while still working to soothe any anxieties.


If you want to avoid delving into the details of what a visit to the pediatric dentist could entail, this book takes a more reassuring tone and provides a step-by-step guide of what will happen. It is realistic without being too graphic and works to make the dentist feel more like an accessible friend than someone trying to pry into their mouths. For kids and parents who may have already had a bad experience at the dentist, this book may be able to help put things back on course.


Looking for a comprehensive guide for more advanced children? This book covers everything from why we have teeth and how to clean them to historical fun facts about dentistry. It provides plenty of information, along with colorful illustrations for an entertaining guide that might even teach adults a thing or two.
