Dentist Brain Candy

The podcast is designed for the dentist who likes to learn and improve their practice. The information and content delivered is designed to help the restorative dentist move their practice forward. Each week we start off with an quote that gets the metal gears turning, a book review which will be digested for the listener over a series of episodes pulling out relevant material and applying it to the dental practice. Next an article will be reviewed from the literature and available for download. The show will close with an interesting case that I have come across. Pictures and radiographs, when appropriate will be on the website to review as well. The benefits include having a virtual dental buddy that you can listen to and “hang out with” and talk shop and grow your experience, knowledge and enthusiasm for our profession.

This week starts with a funny quote followed by another funny quote! We then dive into the second part of “Strength Based Leadership” and two more examples of CEO’s strengths and how they used them to lead their respective organizations to greatness. We then review an article discussing squamous cell carcinoma that occurred around a dental implant. The interesting case is about a necrotic piece of bone around an implant in the esthetic zone and successful management of that complication.

Patients are stressed out in the dental chair. This makes dentists and dental auxiliaries stressed out in the office. This stress decreases patient case acceptance because of fear. NuCalm, in an all natural way, relieves this stress and makes patients comfortable and increases case acceptance. The system also has a well-defined return on investment. NuCalm is also being used for peak performance in sports, in cancer patients, and in many other ways. Jim Poole the CEO from NuCalm fills us in on all the details.

Restoring Hybrid restorations can be a challenge.  Many dentists get that turn in their stomach when they think about taking on such a thing.  This presentation is one method that is predictable and broken down into an appointment by appointment approach that makes it so anyone can restore hybrids and full arch dental implant cases.  This audio clip is the first part of a video series that you can find at dentistbraincandy.teachable.com

This week starts with a quote by George Burns and a bonus quote of the day.  Part one of Strength Based Leadership begins and promises to be a foundational and invaluable book.  I particularly like the web-based test that you can take that will tell you your top five strengths!  We look at two of the four leadership strength or styles and real life examples of each.  The ex-NFL football player was in a no-contact game of flag football and took an elbow to the right eye and sustained a blowout fracture of the right orbital floor.  A subciliary incision was made and a titanium impregnated Medpor implant was used to reconstruct the orbital floor.  Check out the radiographs in the Interesting cases section.

Every practicing dentist is acutely aware of this unmistakable fact:  If you are not sitting in the chair, PRODUCTION=ZERO .  I had no idea that when I started dentistry that it meant that anytime a dollar was earned I needed to have gloves on and be in the trenches working in my practice instead of on my practice.

Every dentist dreams of going to the mailbox and getting a check without having to fix teeth.  David Sewell from International Coffee Farms in Panama tells us how we can decrease our dependency and participate in a socially conscious, passive investment that results in you owning deed property with significant cash flow.  This episode is way out of the norm for this podcast but I could not resist sharing.

I discovered this investment, I vetted them out and I converted a significant portion of my 401k into coffee farms.  In fact my investment was big enough that I qualify for finders fees for new investors for ICF.  The amount is insignificant to me but the investment can change my listeners lives so I felt compelled to share this with you.
