About this episode

This episode discusses the challenges of staffing in dental practices and explores effective recruitment and retention strategies.

Staffing can make or break a dental practice, and in this episode of MB2 Underground, the conversation dives into one of the biggest challenges doctors face today: recruiting and retaining great people. Joined by leaders on the staff talent acquisition team, the episode explores why the hygiene market remains so tight, what practices can do to stand out to candidates, and how culture, leadership, and proactive recruiting strategies play a major role in building strong teams. From hygienists and dental assistants to office managers, this episode unpacks what today's candidates are really looking for, why retention starts long before there's an open role, and how practices can think about talent the same way they think about patient experience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe & Listen: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/69Dz26hgC9D6YqwN8JMDBV Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mb2-underground/id1747349567 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow MB2 Dental on Social: MB2 Dental: mb2dental.com Instagram: instagram.com/mb2dental Facebook: facebook.com/mb2dental YouTube…
