In the final episode of season one of The Dental Chair, host Marguerite Morgan is joined by her right-hand woman, marketing manager Margaret Kierans, and special guest Dr. Jane Renahan, a leading expert in dental compliance. Together, they dive into the biggest challenges and trends shaping the dental industry today.
Margaret shares insights from Irish Dental Jobs’ newly launched 2024 Salary Guide, reflecting on how inflation and post-COVID market shifts have impacted salaries and job expectations in the dental sector. From dental nurses to hygienists and associates, salaries have risen, but not always enough to keep up with inflation, leaving some professionals feeling the financial strain. Margaret highlights how practices are facing fierce competition to attract and retain top talent, emphasising the growing need for competitive salaries, flexible work arrangements, and meaningful benefits.
Dr. Jane Renahan brings her wealth of experience to the table, offering a deep dive into the world of dental compliance. With humour and passion, Jane explains why compliance isn’t about perfection but about creating a culture of safety and accountability within practices. She shares practical advice on how to train and empower staff, simplify documentation, and tackle the ever-increasing scrutiny from regulators like HIQA. Jane’s stories, insights, and approachable manner make the daunting topic of compliance feel manageable—and even empowering.
As the season wraps up, Marguerite reflects on the key themes that have emerged throughout the podcast: the importance of care and consideration in every professional interaction, the value of retaining staff through appreciation and fairness, and the ongoing journey of learning and adapting in a fast-changing industry. Whether you’re a practice owner, a job seeker, or just someone interested in the behind-the-scenes of the dental world, this episode offers plenty of food for thought.
