A Miscommunication at Whole Foods

On today’s episode, we share part one of Dr. Mark Costes’ live presentation from Nashville at a Shine event. Mark sets the stage with a behind-the-scenes look at the realities of dental practice ownership—massive student debt, declining ownership rates, and staggering burnout statistics. 

He also shares financial benchmarks for dentists compared to physicians, insights into gender and generational trends in practice ownership, and why isolation is such a pervasive issue in the profession. Mark explains the challenges young dentists face as they start their careers and how vendors and partners can build meaningful, long-term relationships by truly understanding these pressures.
