Nobody Told Me That! A Dental Podcast with Teresa Duncan

So much changed in just one week. Kevin and I discussed COVID-19 (coronavirus for most people) just a few days before states and federal governments got involved. We talked a little infection control but we really focused on the impact this will have on not only meetings but practices.

We took the opportunity to peel back the curtain on vendor costs at dental meetings. All the shows we discussed except for the California Dental Association have been cancelled.

I'm including links here but urge to keep up to date using your dental society and the ADA's pages. Talk to a lawyer, human resource company and/or your CPA before making any long-lasting decisions regarding your practice. We'll get through this.

Ep. 47 “How to Terminate a Patient Relationship"

It sounds so ominous, right? Well, depending on the person it can be a huge relief or a big pain in the ... you know what. This was a reader request (thank you!) and I responded by giving you:

When I would absolutely terminate, no questions asked
How I would do it
The step-by-step routine regarding documentation and team involvement
Some go-to lines for those very uncomfortable face to face conversations

I hope this is helpful - let me know if you do anything differently. I love hearing from you all!

Ep. 49 "Teresa Teaches Teledentistry to Kevin"

Teledentistry is all the rage right now. With COVID-19 keeping us from physically seeing patients, many dentists are now interested in how to make contact virtually. We pretended that Kevin was an attendee in one of my classes and my job was to teach him the basics and FAQ about teledentistry. I covered:
