Shawn Johnson is the vice president of business development at Treloar and Heisel, a premier provider of financial and insurance services to dental and medical professionals. He joins us to discuss topics relating to protecting both your practice and yourself. We walk through different stages in the career path of a typical pediatric dentist and review what systems and insurances should be in place to protect yourself from all of the curveballs life throws at us. Some of the topics include:

- What to look for in a disability policy, and how much coverage should you have?
- When is a term life policy appropriate compared to a whole life?
- Why pediatric dentists need a higher level of coverage with the trend for in-office general anesthesia.
- What are the components of a business owner's protection policy?
- Finding a balance between keeping an emergency fund vs having business interruption and overhead coverage.
