How meaningful relationships, shared learning, and support systems improve leadership, team culture, and practice success

Join us this April for an engaging Study Club session focused on the power of connection in dentistry. Strong practices are not built alone — they are shaped by the relationships we cultivate with our teams, mentors, colleagues, and trusted advisors.

This session will explore how meaningful professional connections can reduce isolation, strengthen leadership, improve office culture, and support long-term practice success. Through guided discussion, peer sharing, and practical reflection, attendees will leave with new ideas, fresh perspective, and actionable steps to build a more supported and successful practice.

Topics Include:

• Why connection matters in dentistry

• Building a practice you do not have to navigate alone

• The value of mentors, peers, and professional support systems

• How collaboration improves team morale and patient experience

• Action steps to strengthen relationships within your practice and profession

Whether you are a dentist, office manager, team leader, or practice administrator, this session offers an opportunity to connect, learn, and grow alongside others who understand the unique challenges of dental practice leadership.

Come ready to reflect, share, and be inspired.
Because success is stronger when we support one another.

📅 Date: Friday, April 24, 2026
⏰ Time: 1:00–2:00 PM PST
📍 Location: Blossom Dental Consulting via ZOOM
🎤 Presenter: Monica Watson
💲 Cost: $50

Who it’s for: Dental Office Managers, Lead Assistants, Treatment Coordinators, and Dentists who want fewer dropped balls, cleaner handoffs, and a better patient experience.

What we’re covering:
Open loops create stress: missed follow-ups, unclear ownership, insurance delays, lab confusion, and inconsistent patient communication. In this session, we’ll use a simple, repeatable framework to close loops every time.

You’ll learn RADAR (the acronym Monica created to help teams remember the steps):

• R — Responsible Person: one owner, one name

• A — Action: the next specific step

• D — Due Date: “done by when”

• A — Accountability Check: how we track/verify

• R — Report Back: who gets the update + where/when

What you’ll walk away with:

• A plug-and-play huddle/hand-off script to close loops in under 30 seconds

• Real dental examples (front desk, clinical handoff, insurance, patient recovery)

• A simple system to reduce “I thought you were doing it” moments

• Stronger team connection—and more patient trust

Perfect if you want:
✅ Clear accountability without micromanaging
✅ Fewer missed tasks and better follow-through
✅ Better patient communication and fewer complaints

🌼 Blossom Dental Consulting Presents:

“Burnout in the Dental Practice”

A Study Club for Dental Office Managers & Leaders

Friday, May 30, 2025 | 🕓 1 pm PST | 📍 Zoom Meeting

✨ Why This Topic Matters

Dentistry is one of the most demanding healthcare professions. Between high production goals, patient anxiety, staff shortages, and the pressure to maintain a positive patient experience, it’s no wonder dental teams are burning out.

At Blossom Dental Consulting, we believe your practice culture should nourish, not drain, your team. That starts with honest conversations and proactive leadership.

In our May Study Club, we’ll discuss the realities of burnout in dental practices and discuss practical strategies you can implement immediately to support your team’s mental well-being.

💬 A Note from Monica Watson, Founder of Blossom Dental Consulting

“Burnout doesn’t always look like someone breaking down. It often looks like the front desk team member who’s suddenly quiet, the assistant who’s calling out more, or the hygienist who’s just going through the motions.

This Study Club is about more than education—it’s about transformation. Together, let’s redefine what healthy, high-performing dental teams look like.”

Who Should Attend

• Dental Office Managers

• Practice Owners & Clinical Leads

• Anyone invested in cultivating a positive, sustainable team culture

TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION:

PATIENT TRANSFERS within your PRACTICE

On Friday we will be discussing how clear, concise patient transfers between members of your team will reduce stress and increase productivity within your practice.

Why are patient transfers the backbone of communication in your practice?

What is the cycle of the transfer?

What information should be transferred between team members?

Join us on Friday, October 25 as we discuss how to communicate effectively from the administrative to clinical teams.

We invite office managers and dental team leaders to participate in this session.

Learn how to better support our team by making them feel valued and cared for.

Join us Friday, September 27 at 1 pm PST as we discuss the latest trends in the world of Dental Office Management.

This session is for Dental Office Staff to learn practical and useful strategies to support autistic and neurodivergent patients of all ages in the dental setting. In fact, many of the strategies presented will help ALL patients have more successful dental visits.

Kayla has partnered with CIRCA to develop the program “Autism and Neurodiversity in Dentistry.” She is a Dental Hygiene graduate from the University of Manitoba. Currently, she works in private practice, is a part-time instructor in the Faculty of Dentistry at UBC, is a provincial examiner with the CDHBC, and is the Hygienist for BC Children’s Hospital. At BCCH, she developed the successful Behavioural Dental Intervention Program to assist children with support needs to successfully receive basic dental treatment without using a general anesthetic. She has been recognized for her work and has received the Dental Hygiene Superhero Award from Johnson and Johnson and the Dental Hygiene Making a Difference Award from the BCDHA.

How often do we check in with our team, really connect with them to see how they are doing. Not just your regular “Hi, how are you?” But showing a true interest in their well-being.

We will discuss how we can create a team that supports one another and an environment where each person can feel valued and appreciated. Including, ourselves.

Join us, for this fun and interactive session.

This month’s study club will be an open discussion for participants to share information, ask questions, and network with one another. This will be our last session before the summer and we will return on September 29, 2023.
