• Episode 248: Aadland-Moody Episode
    Jul 12 2025

    WI are back! A nice summer episode, sipping our new favorite Semillon from Aadland-Moody vineyards and dispensing nothing but the finest of dental advice.

    Our first situation: is dentistry a right? Do people deserve teeth and required care? Do monkies fly out of my butt?

    Why do people think dentistry only costs US our time? Why does CURRENT CE make you better?

    Second issue: How do you handle an assistant that is AWESOME one day, but then sucks on all the rest? Do you “work” with them, or just cut bait?

    Finally: are dentists influencers? What or who do they influence? Where do I sign up for that sweet sweet influencer gravy?

    Products that I can’t live without:

    CBCT: I use the Vatech Green full FOV

    iTero: my favorite IO scanner

    Wand STA: I cannot numb without it

    Isolite: replaces at least ONE employee

    EMS Airflow: any preventive visit without this is simply inferior

    Enova Headlight: I am terrible if I can’t SEE

    Smileline brushes: colorizing OnX Tough 2 arches

    Sprintray 55S printer: full arch dentistry NEEDS quality prototypes

    Designs for Vision 6.0 loupes: I am a shit dentist without these

    OK. You still with me? Yes, it has been a while. We don't even know....

    We catch up with the last year! You can fast forward. Or not.

    Ever dismissed an entire family for the behavior of a single member? Dismiss the ONE? Or is it grounds to dismiss EVERYONE? Can you hate TOO many people?

    Petty cash. Do you still use that? Why/why not?

  • Episode 240: Dental PPO Negotiations for Dummies
    Jul 27 2023

    Ok. Slightly more sober now.

    We delve into Facebook groups and share advice. Issue 1: New owner buys practice and will be FFS (fee for service). Must you credential them?

    Issue 2: PPO third party negotiator can't get all relevant info? What to do?

    Dental influencers. Do you strain muscles patting yourself on the back? Is your pity party well attended?

    Peace.
