Dr. Gerardo Martinez is a returning guest on the show. We met up at AAPD and decided to record a podcast after flying home. We begin the conversation around changes in behavior management, and why it's ok for kids to cry at the dentist. The key is parent expectation and good communication.Dr. Martinez is also a visionary and advocate for 3D printing in pediatric dentistry. He has spent the last 5 years learning to incorporate scanning and 3D printing crowns, veneers, aligners, and appliances into his pediatric practice. We talk about first steps a practitioner can take to get started. Dr. Martinez is also hosting a CE event in Los Cabos from July 23-26. "The One Summit" has 28 CE credits with a central theme of airway, ortho, and 3D workflows. This would be a great way to get some CE this summer along with time on the beach. Even though it's a bit last minute, you can use code BTT to get $500 off registration and lodging.

Dr. Gerry Samson is a dual-trained pediatric/ortho legend and founder of Gnathos, a continuing education platform teaching pediatric dentists valuable orthodontic skills. He practiced for 40+ years and continues to lecture and teach at various institutions. His list of accolades is too extensive to list so just trust me on this... he knows a thing or two about occlusion and the growing dentition. I invited him to come on the podcast and talk about a controversial topic of his choice, so we settled on airway dentistry in pediatric patients. Some of the things we discuss:- Sleep disordered breathing- Should we be referring kids for tonsillectomies?- The value of a second opinion to limit liability- Communication tips for parents- Structuring relationship with pediatricians - Are we over-treating tongue and lip ties?

Dr. Jesse Defazio is a pediatric dentist and a "super associate." She has practiced in 15 offices over the last 11 years, following her husband's military career.

We cover some great topics including:- When does working for a DSO make sense?- Be cautious of second locations- What would the perfect office set-up look like?- Why working interviews are important- Should doctors receive a percentage of radiographs, fluoride, and prophies?- W2 vs 1099 red flagsThis is also a great episode for practice owners who want to bring on an associate and set them up for success.
In today's episode, Dr. Craig Lustman and I have a great podcast talking about the unique philanthropic model Craig has developed in his dental practices. Craig has found an amazing way to support his passion for developing water, food, and athletic resources for the underserved in Africa. Every cavity-free recall allows his patients to contribute five dollars of profit towards his non-profit organizations, giving his patients a sense of purpose while also encourage good oral hygiene. Our discussion also touches on operational strategies, team dynamics, and the importance of maintaining a balance between professional and personal life. We explore how Craig's journey from Maryland to Florida shaped his approach to dentistry and community service, emphasizing the significance of creating a positive impact through his practice.
Dr. Oshmi Dutta is a pediatric dentist from Texas who has started, grown, and operated literally dozens of general and pediatric practices in his career. He joins me on the podcast with an after-work beer to talk all about a variety of business topics related to pediatric dentistry. We go on a lot of tangents, but this is a killer episode for anybody involved or interested in the business side of pediatric dentistry. Sorry for the longer episode, but I promise it's worth listening until the end. Cheers!
