An Interview with a Medicaid Chief Dental Officer (Dentaquest)
Dr. Todd Gray is a pediatric dentist and the Chief Dental Officer at Dentaquest. Dentaquest is the largest Medicaid managed care provider in the country, and is responsible for delivering Medicaid dental services to millions of children in the United States. Dr. Gray spent 15 years in private practice as a pediatric dentist in the state of Nevada before making a career shift and working his way up in the world of dental insurance and Medicaid. We met at AAPD in Las Vegas and immediately decided that we had to do a podcast together. I was so excited to have Dr. Gray on since he has the unique perspective of being both a practicing pediatric dentist, but also knows the inner-workings of how Medicaid is administered. We have a great discussion where he busts common Medicaid misconceptions, along with sharing what he's learned about how Medicaid plans work.The goal of our conversation was to change the narrative of Medicaid being a big faceless monster, and to give providers tips on how to make Medicaid work in their office. Dr. Gray is also the co-founder of Smiyl, a dental supply company that gives crazy good deals on prophy supplies to pediatric dentists. I want listeners to support our fellow pediatric dentists, so please check them out at www.smiyl.com. You can use code Smiyl20 to get 20% of your next order of prophy supplies.

The Numbers No One Shares: Real Pediatric Dentist Start-Up Stories
After several weeks of compiling the data, the numbers are in! This episode finally sheds light on what real-life numbers you can expect for a pediatric dental start-up. I asked listeners the following questions:1. What is the demographic of your practice?2. How much did you produce/collect your first few years of practice ownership?3. When did you break even?4. When did you start paying yourself?5. How long did you associate?I had TONS of responses, but I picked the best 15 and read them anonymously for this episode. Hopefully this provides some insight and is a helpful resource for those in the early stages of practice ownership.

It's OK for Kids to Cry at the Dentist, and 3D Printing in Peds
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.

Airway Controversies, Tonsils, and Sleep Apnea, with Dr. Gerry Samson
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?
