Hygiene Upsells

I’m trying to incorporate some great hygiene upsells in my practice. We are fortunate to have a thriving hygiene department, and I want to take advantage!

I’ve already started offering adult sealants (and the hygienist gets a kickback for each sealant performed to motivate them).

Also charging $30 for fluoride treatment.

What are some other luxury upgrades I can offer patients during their cleaning???

Piezon 250 alternative

One of our office’s piezon 250 is not working (water flows but no vibration). I’ll probably end of biting the bullet and buying a new one, but was just curious to hear from you. Also if anyone has some tips for repairing the unit I am all ears!

I see I can buy ultrasonic scalers on eBay for like $200. Doesn’t this do essentially the same thing? What makes the piezon worth $3500?

Dad secretly wrote a book

My dad told my family that he did something that was going to change his life. He wouldn’t tell us what it was though (probably scared of any judgement). He wants so badly to be famous. Anyway we found out that the big secret was a book.

Fast forward 6 months, I don’t think anyone has bought the book (shocker). He bragged early on “my book is on amazon!”, like that was something challenging to achieve. I found out that he spent $150k on a marketing team for his book, later the company gave him back $50k because they felt sorry for him I guess.

For fun one day, I said “do you know how many books you have sold?” He got really angry and said “I didn’t write this to sell books!” He’s so delusional like he seriously thought he was gonna be on good morning America haha. He still so many boxes of books that he’s having a hard time even giving away lol.
