We made it episode #50! It may not be a milestone to many, but it is for us! Thanks so much for listening each week as we try to lift the tide of dentistry! Stay tuned for even more exciting interviews and content in the days ahead!

Dental professionals are in a physically demanding career. And if we aren't careful, our day to day bad habits can come back to haunt us before we know it. In this episode, we get to hear and learn from Stephanie Botts, who is a dental hygienist but who also does ergonomics training through her company PosturePros. Let's talk about all things posture!

Modern dentistry has given us so many opportunities to offer more advanced procedures to our patients. But how are we learning these procedures? Are we getting the proper training or are we just watching others do it and then jumping in without a life vest so to speak? Dr. Tiek shares his thoughts on this, especially for young dentists thinking about expanding their skills in private practice.

As dental business owners, we've had a lot of financial things to consider throughout 2020 and 2021. We've had the assistance of the SBA, PPP, EIDL, ERTC and more to help us recover from disastrous shut-downs, but we've also had the potential tax implications of each of them. Understandably, all of it has caused plenty of confusion among dentists. Stephen Nance, CPA from Drill Down Solution, helps us navigate through the details.

Dentistry is an amazing career. We've been given an opportunity to change people's lives. But we must be intentional about everything we do in order for it to be a success. That includes being intentional about things you may not realize.

This might historically be one of most difficult hiring environments for dentists. So what do we do in order to find the right team members for our practice? Is there such a thing as a dream team and can we achieve actually having one? Corrine Jameson-Kuehl from Custom Dental Solutions gives us some wonderful advice on how to find and retain the right people.

Dentistry is such a wonderful, yet complicated career. As practice owners, we make many decisions each day about what is best for our patients, what is best for our team, and what is best for the future of our practice. We must provide the best of care for our patients but we also must profit our business  in order to survive and grow. So what is the healthiest way to do that?

What actually is SEO? What can it do for you as a dentist and business owner? Seth Mendelsohn, the CEO of Denterica, a digital marketing and SEO company, tells us all about it and helps us learn more about what role it can play in our practice growth.

An issue that many dentists struggle with is knowing how to lead their team well. While there are many factors that go into doing that, there are a few important foundations that must be set up in order for a team to not only work well together, but thrive together.

As dentists, many, if not all of us, hope to one day have our "dream practice". Unfortunately, many never see that dream become a reality. However, if we are given the right tools and opportunities, we can learn that the dream is well within our reach. Steve Anderson of Denco Dental Construction has been helping dentists create and construct the offices of their dreams for 30 years. Now he has put his wisdom and expertise into an amazing book called DentalEase. Enjoy this interview as we talk all about it.
