The Very Dental Podcast Network Very Dental: Working Hard to Not Work So Hard with Dr. Chris Bowman
Al recently got to sit down with Dr. Chris Bowman at Voices of Dentistry 2022
- Mark Costes finished his talk on time at VoD 2022! Miracle? Maybe.
- Al is anal retentive about time and timeliness.
- Chris let's the patient that he's not going to rush on their care. That's reframing things a bit.
- Is Delta Premier going to go away?
- How can we "top off our practice" with a bit of insurance participation?
- "It's good to be old"
- Using "negative language" (limitations and restrictions) when referring to dental benefits
- One patient in 4 chairs. "Doc, you might as well be going fishing."
- I didn't plan it this way.
- 4 stages of change
- shock
- awkward, uncomfortable
- tolerable
- routine

I’d like to thank Cosmedent for their support of the Very Dental Podcast network! Let’s talk about Ideal preps. That’s what we’re all aiming for and one excellent way to get there is to use a dual cured core material to build a broken down tooth back up to ideal contour. Cosmecore from Cosmedent is my choice for buildups. It’s dual cure, comes in a variety of colors and cuts just like a tooth. You’ll get a super smooth finish with no gouging. Both work great, but those syringes are handy and don’t take much room on a set up. Check it out at verydentalpodcast.com/cosmecore!
