Running a dental practice today comes with more challenges than ever—staffing shortages, regulatory compliance, patient expectations, and the pressure to maintain financial stability. But what if efficiency could be the key to reducing stress and building stronger teams?

In this episode of the Growing Your Dental Business Podcast, host Jacquelyn Hurley sits down with Mary Govoni, an internationally recognized speaker, consultant, and co-host of The Compliance Divas Podcast. With over 50 years of experience as a Certified Dental Assistant, Registered Dental Hygienist, educator, and staffing service owner, Mary has dedicated her career to helping dental teams improve compliance, ergonomics, and efficiency.

Together, Jacquelyn and Mary unpack:

• The real impacts of staffing shortages on morale, patient care, and compliance
• How specialized services in revenue cycle management can lift the burden from dental teams and allow them to focus on what matters most - patients
• Why outsourcing isn't a weakness, but a smart strategy for long-term success and sustainability
• Practical steps dental practices can take today to work smarter, no harder

Mary reminds us that great systems make great teams even better, and that efficiency isn’t just about productivity - it’s about protecting teams, enhancing patient experiences, and helping the practice's health.
