A dental podcast for the AVERAGE dentist. No question is too controversial for Lance Timmerman DMD and his guests. Questions are NOT ”best bonding agent” or ”best impression material.” You know, like ”can I harm my assistant for being annoying?”, or ”how much oral sex is too much after gum grafts?” or even, ”Will my DNA be altered by getting a bone graft from cadaver bone?” The information that ALL dentists need. Where we coined the term ”Bukkake Honor Circle”

OK. Podfade is over. We are back and we miss Dolly.
We catch up (sorta). Then we talk about idiot dentists (what else is new). Do you charge a no-show fee? SHOULD you?
How long should your dentistry last? 2 years? 10? Lifetime?
Plug for EMS Airflow.

WI are back! A nice summer episode, sipping our new favorite Semillon from Aadland-Moody vineyards and dispensing nothing but the finest of dental advice.
Our first situation: is dentistry a right? Do people deserve teeth and required care? Do monkies fly out of my butt?
Why do people think dentistry only costs US our time? Why does CURRENT CE make you better?
Second issue: How do you handle an assistant that is AWESOME one day, but then sucks on all the rest? Do you “work” with them, or just cut bait?
Finally: are dentists influencers? What or who do they influence? Where do I sign up for that sweet sweet influencer gravy?
Products that I can’t live without:
CBCT: I use the Vatech Green full FOV
Wand STA: I cannot numb without it
Isolite: replaces at least ONE employee
EMS Airflow: any preventive visit without this is simply inferior
Enova Headlight: I am terrible if I can’t SEE
Smileline brushes: colorizing OnX Tough 2 arches
Sprintray 55S printer: full arch dentistry NEEDS quality prototypes
Designs for Vision 6.0 loupes: I am a shit dentist without these

OK. You still with me? Yes, it has been a while. We don't even know....
We catch up with the last year! You can fast forward. Or not.
Ever dismissed an entire family for the behavior of a single member? Dismiss the ONE? Or is it grounds to dismiss EVERYONE? Can you hate TOO many people?
Petty cash. Do you still use that? Why/why not?

OK. Clearly it has been a minute. Holly is sorry (Lance doesn't care).
We catch up, we talk travel, charity, and the grind of dentistry.

WI are on "location"!
"Live" from Palm Desert, we catch up. Christmas is over, we catch up. We tackle some "reddit" input and some listener mail.
Are you open between Christmas and New Years? Why or why not?
As a listener, are we considered friends?
So your hands shake when treating patients?

Ok. Slightly more sober now.
We delve into Facebook groups and share advice. Issue 1: New owner buys practice and will be FFS (fee for service). Must you credential them?
Issue 2: PPO third party negotiator can't get all relevant info? What to do?
Dental influencers. Do you strain muscles patting yourself on the back? Is your pity party well attended?
Peace.
