If the 'eyes are the window to the soul', the dental reception is the window to your practice! That first impression on a new patient is important to get right, according to Michael R. Young in this June issue of BDJ Team. Make sure that you 'have your patients at "hello"'.
This issue also features a CPD article related to the GDC-recommended topic of oral cancer: early detection. This original BDJ paper looks at whether dentists or DCPs have more accurate detection skills and emphasises the importance of adequate training for all members of the dental team.
