Dealing with the Effects of the Dental Recession
By admin | February 27, 2008
That the US is in recession is clear from all the major indicators across the country. How the Dental Recession that stems from the general economic environment will largely be determined by the client base you have and how well you plan for your business to handle the situation.
Practices that are dealing with the rich are insulated to an extent from the effect of recession as their clientele have the financial means to pay for dental work no matter what the economic situation. At the other end of the spectrum, those practices serving the poor are also insulated form the recession by the fact that Medicaid schemes for dental health are paying the bills and this is government money. As ever it is the middle class patients that are feeling the recessionary impact more than anyone else. High mortgage rates and credit repayment mean that their budget has been severely dented by the impact of rising interest rates leaving less and less to spend on discretionary expenditures such as cosmetic dental work.
