The Very Dental Podcast Network OG Brain Trust (Encore Edition)
The Brain Trust has always been a huge part of the Dental Hacks podcast. We love to feature a round table of regular, "wet fingered' (ew) dentists talking about stuff that all dentists deal with. Episode 215 features three of our original panelists who have been featured over the years. We cover a lot of ground here, including:
- Are baseball analogies good for gauging where you are in your dental career?
- Would Rich recommend buying and merging a practice?
- How is Frank screening kids and adults for airway? (note: it's probably not what you think!)
- How has coaching affected their careers?
- What technology has been worthwhile? For patient outcomes or simply marketing?
- Why are dentists training so much in high dollar procedures vs. the fundamentals?
- Are long haul truckers good patients? Is it truck o'clock?
