The Dental Guys

In these uncertain times, how do we safely reopen our practices in a way that protects our patients and team while also following guidelines and avoiding legal issues?  We need someone who understands all of these angles, and Olivia Wann can answer that call.  A lawyer who is also trained as a dental assistant, she helps offices to follow CDC/OSHA standards to apply best practices and avoid potential health and legal issues. 

Mary Govoni, an OSHA compliance expert, returns to discuss reopening your practice and interpreting the ADA interim guidance on PPE.

Dentists are so material oriented and we have tended to embrace stronger and stronger materials as they have become available.  But, are we using strength as a substitute for understanding of occlusion and technique?  Bob Winter of Spear Education joins us to discuss where we are today with lithium disilicate and zirconia.  What are the limitations of lithium disilicate and is there a place for translucent zirconia?

Justin and Chris join us again to update us with new plans for this week.  How do plans for states reopening change their thoughts on loans, funds, and unemployment?

Covered this week with Chris and Justin:  1) Are we seeing EIDL funds being deposited? 2) How much EIDL funding are people getting and what determines that? 3) Will Congress continue to fund the PPP?  What does the next few weeks look like as far as reopening?  We continue to bring you relevant updates to keep you up to speed!

Kevin Kwiecien joins us again to discuss what to do now, what not to do now, and how to chart a path forward in these uncertain times. Kevin is not just a consultant but a clinician, and he understands the challenges faced by dentists clinically and from a business management side. In this episode, we focus on how to approach uncertainty by starting with the most basic things- being grateful for what we have, having an abundance mindset, and focusing on what leadership means in the long run.

Justin Goodbread, CFP and Chris Mahan, MBA-ACC join us with some updates on where with are with the EIDL and PPP loan programs- what has changed and what should we be doing now to make the most of these programs?
