633 Keeping patients healthy with Dana Rockey DDS Mar 02, 2017

Show notes

As most dentists and health care professionals who have run large, successful practices for 30 years are thinking about retirement, Dr. Dana Rockey is just getting started. Dr Rockey has treated Hollywood's elite, CEOs of large corporations, and families who have come to appreciate his platinum level of service.

With the sale of his last large practice, Dr. Rockey opened a new generation dental practice in Newport Beach, California.

The U.S. health care system has gained a reputation for generally responding to sickness and disease. Some refer to it as a "sick-care system". Often times doctors treat patients in silos, don't connect the dots with what's happening in one area of the body with a person's systems and organs, and generally simply react to sickness and disease versus focusing on keeping patients healthy.

630 Orthodontics and Sleep Apnea with William M Hang, DDS, MSD Feb 23, 2017

Show notes

After completing his orthodontic training at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Hang joined the faculty there to teach orthodontics. He later established an orthodontic practice in rural Vermont. After practicing traditional orthodontics for 7 years, he saw serious limitations in esthetics and function with the traditional approach to orthodontics.

In 1981 Dr. Hang embarked on a continuing education odyssey which has so far taken him to 50 states and over 30 foreign countries in a quest for a better way to do orthodontics. In the process he moved to Southern California and developed a truly unique orthodontic practice with strong emphasis on facial esthetics achieved with innovative early treatment and adult treatment. Approximately 15 years ago he became aware of the significant positive affect some of his treatments were having on the airway. This opened up a whole new aspect of orthodontics - maximizing the airway for ALL orthodontic patients and specifically treating patients with SDB (sleep disordered breathing) or OSA (obstructive sleep apnea).

Dr. Hang recently trademarked the term Extraction Retraction Regret Syndrome™ or E.R.R.S.™ which describes a symptom pattern common to many dental patients in virtually all dental practices. It is his treatment of E.R.R.S.™ and specifically reopening extraction spaces that has brought patients from more than 20 states and several foreign countries to his practice. He is lecturing internationally about the new era of non-retractive orthodontics which represents a 180 degree paradigm shift for the orthodontic profession.

627 How to manage 10 Dental Offices by Jared Pope, DDS Feb 18, 2017

Show notes

Serving Chandler, AZ and surrounding areas. Follow us for special Twitter discounts & deals, dental news and tips! Dr. Jared Pope. It is always easier to talk to someone when you know and trust them. I'd like to tell you a little bit more about myself so we can start out our relationship better. I'm hoping that by having a trusting relationship, you will feel open and be able to share your concerns with me, so that I will be able to take better care of your teeth. I grew up in Sandy, Utah. My father and grandfather are dentist and my mother is a dental hygienist so I've spent lots of time at the dentist's office! Their examples have definitely played a big part in my becoming a dentist. I live in Chandler with my wonderful wife Lynda, and our two daughters, Eden who is 13, and Maiya who is 10. I love to spend time with my family. We enjoy the outdoors. We are avid hikers, mountain bikers, and skiers. You can often find us out on the sand dunes, or hiking the Grand Canyon. After completing a successful service mission in Berlin Germany for the LDS church, I attended the University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College, where I pursued a degree in Biology and a minor in German. I then attended Marquette University where I received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2002. While in dental school, I excelled quickly and was able to graduate early and attend many additional classes taught by experts in the field of advanced orthodontics and TMD (a jaw disorder). During my summer breaks from dental school, I was privileged to spend time volunteering in various dental clinics doing dental work and greatly expanding my experience in the field. Since graduating, I continue to take 20 – 30 hours of continuing education classes every year to be able to stay abreast of advances in technology. These classes have included topics such as implants, sedation, cosmetics, and other advancements in materials, procedures, and equipment. I have been practicing dentistry for over 10 years. I am fortunate to say that we have 3 offices now, two in Scottsdale and one in Chandler. My professional passion is to be able to conquer a person's fear of going to the dentist. I believe that once a person can go to the dentist and have a good experience, their oral health will be improved for the rest of their life. It just takes one visit, and you like many others, will see that a visit to the dentist isn't as bad as they thought, in fact it may even be enjoyable!
