In a recent episode, I had the opportunity to discuss the importance of tracking and improving the perio percentage in dental practices. It was a valuable conversation that highlighted the need for precise diagnostics and coding to effectively diagnose and treat periodontal disease.
One key takeaway from our discussion was the significance of accurately calculating the perio percentage. This metric, which represents the percentage of patients diagnosed with or being treated for periodontal disease, is crucial for assessing a practice’s periodontal health management. By regularly tracking this percentage, practices can pinpoint areas for improvement and implement strategies to enhance their perio program.
I also emphasized the importance of seeking guidance from local periodontists or hygiene coaches. These professionals can offer valuable insights and support to help practices develop and optimize their perio programs. By collaborating with experts in the field, practices can stay updated on the latest trends and techniques in periodontal care, benefiting both their patients and their practice as a whole.
In conclusion, my discussion underscored the significance of tracking and improving the perio percentage in dental practices. By focusing on accurate diagnostics, precise coding, and seeking guidance from experts, practices can enhance their perio programs and provide better care for their patients.
