Bad Weather Impacts | Dental Practice Operations

  Dental practices are built on precision, planning, and consistency—but bad weather has a way of throwing even the most well-run schedules off track. Snowstorms, ice, heavy rain, extreme heat, or severe storms don’t just affect travel; they ripple through every part of a dental practice , from patient care to team morale and financial performance.
