A quick update on the No Surprise Act from the ADA and, then... The main event. An article from a hygienist explains how we can keep hygienists happy. That way they won't quit and cut off the lifeline of the practice and such. Every dentist should hear this one and then read the article for themselves. You really don't want to miss this one!

Once again, dentists are caught in the crosshairs of more regulation. While it seems it could have been worse, all of us will likely have to change some of our ways to stay on the right side of the law.

Dentistry in the News: January 7th, 2022 WHO finally recognizes SDF. What's on 2nd. I dunno who's on 3rd. AI is coming and where is Will Smith when you need him to fight a robot? Dropping PPOs is always a good idea apparently... Duh Bonus points if you know what POSA is and what to do when you see it. The alphabet squad explains why mobile and teledentistry are good for everybody ...And Much, Much More.

Enter COVID19. If we want to re-open and get back to any type of pre-covid normalcy, there are things that we MUST do right now. IF YOU FIGURE THIS OUT, you will have an advantage over everybody else. Oh, and the Elephant in the Room..... HYGIENE! How in the heck are we supposed to deal with hygiene re-opening?!?

GET THE TRANSCRIPT HERE) Dr. Amanda Wilson levels with dentists about what is going on in ortho today and with Smile Direct Club, including strategies to take them on and use their millions spent to boost your own practice. Dr. Amanda candidly pulls back the curtain about what is really going on with the Purple People Eaters and the decline Orthodontists have seen for the past decade and a half.

Jerry Jones and Dr. Chris Griffin unveil the #1 way to rescue dental practices under assault using memberships among other brilliant ideas. Recently Jerry Jones released the shocking 6th edition of the State of Dentistry.  He has researched every aspect of the current dental economy and interviewed the very best in our field. His conclusions are startling and this post-report interview might even be better as he reveals the one thing that made his practice sell for more than it should have. Any dentist can duplicate this winning strategy. Listen in and take careful notes if you want the #1 way smart dentists are securing their practices even in these challenging times.

The Dynamic Duo of Erin Elliott and Tarun “T-Bone” Agarwal is fighting the status quo of how to practice and how to learn better than Batman and Robin teamed up to fight crime.  Just exchange Raleigh, North Carolina for Gotham and you get the idea.  Nestled in the Appalachians is one of the hottest learning centers in America and it’s not by accident.  Whether it’s Dr. Erin’s Sleep 101 course or T-Bones 3D workflows, dentists who travel down to see them are never disappointed because these two give more than any student would expect. Today, T-Bone challenges me on catching the wave of the future in private practice and Erin tries to keep him calm while adding her own 2 cents in a much less ‘in-your-face’ style that is uniquely her own. Did they convince me to change my ways… Listen and you’ll  find out, plus much more like: Why practicing non-solo doesn’t have to mean losing autonomy The biggest reason why most dentists will never try to work i

Elijah Desmond is the dental Super-preneur whirlwind who is famous, not for being a hygienist, or for co-founding DentalHub 360, or for co-founding Smiles at Sea, or Driven Dental Marketing…. Those things are cool and all, but Desmond is famous for being just a tremendous human being. This was evidenced over the holiday when I saw his video about helping an anonymous dentist who was struggling. I donated a little bit and I encourage you to as well. If Desmond says it’s for a good cause, I believe him and after this interview, you should, too. https://www.gofundme.com/6gpnwm8?fbclid=IwAR0QNE-awuYfubDt5kfltaXqloDz4jDPZmTzZfelCCJX8ualQRStGj18juQ (Here’s the link to his GoFundMe page)  

Today we interview Dr. Nathan Ho, new patient expert with a specialty in getting tons of amazing ‘real’ reviews.  This is quickly becoming the number 1 way to get patients at a reasonable cost.
