Arrive at the clinic (11 AM – 8 PM) and check the day’s appointment list.
Confirm follow-ups and new appointments with the receptionist.
Begin with scheduled patients and diagnose new walk-ins.
Perform intraoral exams, take X-rays if needed.
Explain treatment plans clearly—procedure, duration, and cost.
If the patient is ready, start treatment; if not, give a future appointment.
Lunch break mid-day (timing varies based on patient flow).
Afternoons can be unpredictable—either a patient rush or calm enough to read a book!
Take short walks around the clinic and have light conversations with the assistant/receptionist when there’s downtime.
Tea break, if time permits, before the busy evening hours kick in.
Avoid starting long procedures after 7 PM—just diagnose and schedule.
End the day by reviewing patient records, appointments, and payments.
Final clinic check, and wind up for the day.
