Show notes

At varying extents, most of us are doing cosmetic dentistry in our practice. But how do we manage the 12 year old that is suffering from what we call SnapChat Dsymorphia? It's a mindset that makes individuals feel inadequate as a result of constantly comparing themselves to social media influencers. They're requesting aggressive treatment like veneers hoping to turn their teeth into celebrity smiles. So what's the best way to approach this? To tell us more about it is our guest Dr. Susan McMahon. Dr. McMahon has devoted her professional career to the pursuit of advanced technologies in cosmetic and minimally invasive dentistry. She frequently lectures across the United States and abroad on minimally invasive dentistry, technology and conservative, undetectable cosmetic dentistry.

Ep. 539 - Busting the Myth that More Production Guarantees Success Feb 19, 2024

Show notes

So what do we mean by profit over production or even profit first. Doesn't this go against everything we're about as healthcare providers. Well, maybe not. Because working really hard and having little left over at the end of the week is not a sustainable situation nor is it good for your practice, employees or your patients. So lets talk with Dr. Julie Woods. She's a board-certified periodontist and has been practicing since graduating from Baylor College of Dentistry in 2004. Her book, Profit Over Production: Understand Dental Business and Choose Your Practice Destiny, was released in September 2023 and is still an Amazon best-seller.
