Guess who's back? Dr. B is back again for another episode. Today's episode we will hear from Dr. B on what's keeping him busy these days and also an interview with the very first dentist who made a Dental Podcast: Dr. David Maloley. David and Dr. B talks about the lack of confidence among dentists, which is exacerbated by our tendency to only talk about the good things happening in our practices. We discuss the self-reflection that goes into building your own practice and learning how to manage a team, and how it’s made us better people. Dr. B also shares some of his experiences with missionary work, a unique but meaningful challenge he feels compelled to undertake.  

For today's episode we are closing this month with 2 special guests. Michelle Strange from A Tale of Two Hygienists Podcast and Faten Ali a dental hygienist trained in the US but currently works in Dubai. Listen in for today's tips and tricks. Enjoy!

Mike Pedersen is the owner and CEO of TheDentalboost.com. In this episode, we discuss advances in search terms,words,circumstances, and locations to come up with less unqualified leads and more targeted ones that are looking for what we offer as dentists. Mike has figured out a special formula to come up with these terms that work very well and he wanted to share those with us.

Today's Magical Words and Tips comes from Dr. David Maloley of The Relentless Dentist Show.

This is an episode where Dr. B Interviews the hosts of a Tale of Two Hygienists. This interview, however is not about podcasting as much as being about dental hygiene and the importance of the profession. Many countries around the world have no such profession and we believe that they are missing out. In this episode we pull apart the profession and outline why it is such an important part of dentistry above and beyond just “Cleaning calculus off of teeth.”

Dr. Lance Timmerman is a true pioneer in the field of esthetic dentistry. He is also the host of Totally Oral Podcast also based on dentistry. He is funny, engaging and totally a super dentist. Dr. B ad Dr. Timmerman decided to do this interview after the two Podcast names were mentioned on a Facebook group as “Totally Oral Passionate Dentist.” Which created a very funny and a bit sick thread of variations to the name as people would mix and match the four words that are in the two podcast names. The innuendos were just too much to ignore and both doctors decided to have an interview. Though they are both still not sure who interviewed who… enjoy.

This week's episode is a very  special one. Why? Just listen in to find out and also there's a very an announcement from Dr. B regarding the new format of the podcast. Enjoy and enjoy the weekend. 

Dr. B was interviewed on the Healthy Mouth, Healthy life Podcast by Ms. Carrie Ibbetson who is an oral health coach and patient advocate. Carrie is a hygienist who has been in dentistry for over 20 years and has a podcast for the general public about oral health care. She also helps people with oral conditions that are complicated from the point of view of the public. In short, she helps people make choices with their oral health decisions. She uses patient language to explain the conditions in patients’ mouths and in even simpler terms becomes a non-biased bridge between dentists and patients. Carrie wanted to talk with Dr. B regarding the language of occlusal splints (better known as Occlusal guards or bite Guards). Dr. B makes quite a few occlusal Splints and charges over $1000 for each. But can only do so because of the specific language he uses with patients.

Our Magical Words is recorded at the Voices Of Dentistry Summit weeks ago and we have Dr. Mike Czubiak. Enjoy this one.

Today's Webmail Wednesday comes from Steven and asked about how to deal with stress. Listen as Dr. B gives his thoughts. If you want to send a question for Dr. B, please email at host@thepassionatedentist.com

A tale of two hygienists is a wonderful weekly Dental Hygiene and “Wine” based podcast that interviewed Dr. B for their episode #61 and continued to this episode #62. The recording session was so much fun and so long that the hosts Andrew Johnston and Michelle Strange decided to make two episodes out of it. This is part two. Please note that there may be a few words of cursing.

Vicki is the founder and principal of Productive Dentist Academy. Although she is a trained hygienist, she is the owner of many dental practices in the Midwest of the US. She also does consulting, coaching and marketing for other practices. A powerhouse of a professional in the dental field.

This is the first of a series of interviews focusing on the numbers in the dental practice. Rick is a consultant’s consultant. Meaning, he helps dental consultants help their dentists with their numbers. He has the formulas and the calculations to figure out the health of dental practices. He does not normally work directly with dentists and so hearing his story is interesting from our perspective. This episode serves as the intro to the series of interview coming over the next few months concentrating on numbers in the dental practice. We discuss general numbers and concepts but will be diving much deeper into them in future episodes.

My friend Dr.Justin Moody, Host of “Dentists, Implants, and Worm” Podcast shares a short but important tip for all dentist about the significance of dental implants.
