Our Story

Dental School does not teach the business skills necessary to run a dental practice. Many dentists rely on staff who have no business or accounting training to take care of the business bookkeeping. This endangers the dentists to:

  1. Fraud- Having a staff member take care of the business books can put the business at risk for embezzlement.
  2. Insurance Posting Errors-Many staff members have not been trained on the correct method to post insurance claims. This can result in loss income or possibility of insurance fraud.
  3. Inaccurate Business Reports- If staff are not balancing end of day reports correctly nor reconciling to accounting software the business numbers may be inaccurate causing issues with tax payments and impact major business decisions.

Dr. Schaeferle realized as a dentist there is not enough time to perform these duties herself and perform dentistry.  After consulting in many dental offices, she realized that the lack of business knowledge from both the dentists and the staff members were making huge negative effects on the industry. Dr. Schaeferle then spent years in business school and becoming an expert on fraud, bookkeeping and dental insurance. Dentakeeping was developed in 2009 and has expanded Nationwide allowing dentists to have peace of mind with their dental office bookkeeping.
