In today’s episode, we introduce the concept of being a "Chief Repeating Officer" (CRO). Dr. Addison Killeen focuses on the need for consistent repetition when implementing new systems or teaching team members. Learning styles and motivations, such as visual or experiential learning, impact the number of repetitions required. Incentives, like short-term rewards, can help motivate individuals in the learning process. When introducing a new system or habit, it is essential to replace the old one effectively by making the new habit more appealing. The role of a CRO involves repetitive reminders and strategies tailored to individual needs and motivations.

In this episode of the Daily Dental Podcast, your host, Dr. Addison Killeen highlights the power of visual communication. Dental offices can leverage visual aids like intraoral cameras, microscopes, and televisions - incorporating visual aids in dental practices simplifies complex terminology, boosts patient engagement, and improves patient education and treatment plan acceptance. This approach aligns with Arthur Brisbane's idea that "a picture is worth a thousand words," enhancing overall patient satisfaction.

As dental professionals, we must focus on sharing the importance of understanding the oral-systemic connection and the need to treat periodontal disease with our teams and our patients. Citing statistics, like heart disease is a more significant threat to women than breast cancer, can help overcome the common patient objections, such as "it doesn't hurt." We need to set higher standards of patient care and be sure our teams recognize their role in addressing the oral systemic connection, given their frequent patient interactions.

The opposite of peace is often associated with envy, a feeling of discontent and resentment when comparing oneself to others. Envy is unique among negative emotions, as it makes individuals feel worse rather than better. In the digital age, social media amplifies these feelings, often leading to unrealistic comparisons and emotional distress. Practicing gratitude, mindfulness, and focusing on self-improvement are strategies to counter envy. Instead of allowing envy to fester, use it as inspiration to set realistic goals and work on personal growth.
