In this episode of the Breath of Fresh Air Podcast, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most intimidating (and often misunderstood) sides of dentistry: the legal side. We're joined by dental attorney Justin Withrow, a true "unicorn" in the industry who specializes in the messy stuff most lawyers shy away from - board investigations, insurance audits, criminal cases, and high-stakes disputes.
Justin shares how he found his way into dental law, why compliance needs to become a culture inside every practice, and the hard lessons learned when dentists ignore their contractual obligations. From insurance audits that balloon into six-figure problems to what happens when the board comes knocking, Justin's real-world stories are both eye-opening and practical.
Whether you're a dentist, practice manager, or dental biller, this episode is packed with insights on how to protect yourself, your business, and your license.
👉 Tune in to learn how to:
Tell the difference between compliance and insurance audits
Handle an audit without panicking (and what not to do)
Protect yourself as a dental biller with solid contracts
Avoid costly mistakes when buying or selling a practice
Understand what could trigger a criminal investigation
Build a true "culture of compliance" in your office
