7 Things Dentists Should Remember When Setting up the Clinic

As the condition and environment of the school is important for the teachers, in the same way, a healthy environment and good condition of the clinic are necessary for a dentist. To attract the new customers and retrieve the old ones, the environment of the clinic should be hygienic, healthy and proper. Setting up a new clinic is not a cup of tea for all, it requires countless hours of planning. The usage, functions, objectives, growth, design and marketing, everything should be pre-planned with a specific goal. There are many things to consider while setting up a clinic. Some of them are as listed below.

1) Lighting

There should be proper set up of lights in the clinic as darkish and shady environments are symbols of horror and the visitors can fear from these. Proper dental lightings with L.E.D. bulbs should be done in the clinic for making it look more clear and vibrant. This would also help in attracting more patients. And, as dentists have to examine and work over very small but crucial part of the body, i.e., teeth, which requires proper lights to look at, it becomes more necessary to set-up lights in the clinic.

2) Look and feel of the clinic

When a patient visits the clinic, he/she obviously won't want to feel more sick on entering the environment, he/she expects the environment to be fresh and airy, so that he/she might feel good mentally in a worse health condition. That's why, to make patients feel cool and calm, the look and feel of the clinic should be made fresh, filled up with lights and plants also if possible. The colors should also not be too vibrant, they should be calm to provide peace to the mind. The pleasant colors can be an aid to the patient's problem. Many dentists don't look after these things and set-up bad and low lighting to save on their expenses but it can be boring and sadistic for the patients and may lead to their ill mental health.

3) Equipments

The dental equipments or instruments to be used by the dentists for examining the patients should be kept in a proper condition in the clinic. They shouldn't be sophisticated and if in case gets damaged, then, they should be replaced with new ones. There should be a proper place and utensils for keeping them, they shouldn't be like lying here or there. And the patients, especially children should be kept away from using these equipments as their improper use can cause harm.

4) Cleaning of wash basin

The wash basin of the clinic should be washed and cleaned regularly. Its hygiene should be maintained as it is used by many patients on a daily basis and can even lead to many disease-causing microorganisms on touching directly or using by others.

5) Flexible Chair

The flexible chair to be used for the patients coming to the clinic should be flexible in all terms, so that it won't cause any kind of problem in examining the teeth of the patients properly. And as flexible chairs are more comfortable to sit upon, they should be used in the clinic by the dentists.

6) Flexible financial options

In the clinic, there should be many financial options for the patients to pay, i.e., both physical and digital. The patients should be provided with the advantage of paying both by cash and online. As the world is being digital day by day, all the UPI options for Paytm, Phonepe, GPay and others should be there in the clinic also.

7) Trained and cooperating Staff

The hired staff of the clinic including peons, floor-keepers, compounders and others should be properly trained regarding how to treat the patients wisely in a good manner. Many clinics' staff is observed misbehaving with the patients which can lead to decrease in the engagement of more people in the clinic, that's why, the staff should be cooperating to the patients. They should properly guide the patients calmly.
