By staying informed about the distinct taxation rules tied to each service offered within their practice, dentists can better strategize for financial success and avoid potential pitfalls at tax time.
Dental bookkeeping involves the meticulous process of recording and managing all financial transactions within a dental practice. This includes tracking income from patient fees, insurance payments, and other revenue streams, as well as monitoring expenses such as salaries, supplies, and overhead costs.
