Ted Osterer returns to the show to discuss recent bankruptcies and sales in our industry. Large companies are experiencing shifts and they have teams of advisors. How can a smaller dental business learn from these mistakes and strategize for their own success? Ted shares how understanding key financial metrics like EBITDA, cost of goods, and margins has become essential in the dental industry. Businesses have to use data instead of intuition.What about offices that haven't had that kind of training? Now is the time. Now more than ever, business owners must adopt a mindset of financial clarity to make smarter decisions.  Key Takeaways: The impact of DSOs on dental business practices is a double-edged sword, with positive financial insights but also challenges in maintaining company culture. The recent wave of mergers and acquisitions in the dental industry, like Patterson going private and BIOLASE's bankruptcy, will likely reshape the sector. Education and customer success initiatives can be powerful but require long-term commitment for real results. To navigate current pain points, dental offices are encouraged to adapt, whether it's adjusting payment policies, working more hours, or improving treatment presentations. There's optimism for a consumer confidence rebound in 2025, with a rise in entrepreneurial tactics and a slow but steady industry recovery.

The first working laser was operated by Theodore Maiman on May 16 1960 at the Hughes Research Laboratory in California. Maiman may have been the first person to operate a laser, but the theory behind them dates back to Einstein in the early 20th century. He was already thinking about a way to amplify light and its source before we had the means to do it.After their pioneering use in the 60s, it didn't take long for medicine to take note and start testing lasers. Today's guest is Bill Brown, who became interested in lasers and their use in dentistry during that pioneering period of engineering history. Bill is one of the last men standing from the early period of lasers and their use in dentistry and he's seen a lot of change over the years.Bill currently serves as Vice President of innovation and Business Development at BIOLASE, a world leader in dental lasers.ResourcesFollow your curiosity, connect, and join our ever-growing community of extraordinary minds.CariFree WebsiteCariFree on InstagramCariFree on FacebookCariFree on PinterestCariFree on TwitterDr. Kim Kutsch on LinkedInBill Brown on LinkedInBIOLASE WebsiteWhat's In This EpisodeWhere does Bill get his drive and energy?The pioneering use of lasers in dentistry.Why you should try and push outside of your comfort zone.Bill's health struggles in his early life.

Watch the clips we recorded from the “tequila and tongue tie” conference in Scottsdale on our instagram @themunchbunchpodcast We had a blast. It was good food, good hotel, awesome pediatric dentists, and a heck of a dance party fiesta. So in lieu of a full episode we got clips on our instagram so you can go watch them there. This conference was unique because it was all about the Waterlase by Biolase. It's a hard tissue and soft tissue laser, so it can do anesthetic free fillings and release tongue and lip ties. We learned so much about the Waterlase, did you know it is 5 times less heat than a CO2 laser? It is also a very clean looking wound, less charring and thermal reaction. On our Instagram there is clips from the lives we did and you can see the speakers talking. The speakers were Dr Ben Curtis from Texas, Dr Trudy Frazer from Georgia, Dr Cherish Leung from California, Dr Amanda Hankins from Arkansas, Dr Lynda Dantzer from Colorado, Dr Leslie Blackburn from Texas.

During this episode, Dr. Morrow shares his experience in dealing with tongue-tie by sharing a person story on how he was able to treat his daughter. Tongue-tie appears to be a common issue as medical agencies report that nearly 25% of newborns deal with tongue-tie. Russ found that by using laser techniques, not only can he treat tongue tie but do so in a way that is non-invasive compared to surgical outcomes when using traditional methods.Russ further explains the use of laser and how laser technology boosted his own practice revenue. Russ believes that acquiring a laser is one where the laser itself should be considered a major asset in the practice and a tool that is proven to improve clinical outcomes, thereby positively impacting the bottom line for a practice.To learn more about lasers or the use of laser for a number of different types of clinical procedures, visit Biolase.com.

I purchased a new toy for the office and you may have guessed it is an  Epic Laser Pro.  This is not your mother's laser and it quite the piece of techno and I discuss the laser and the differences and uses of this machine.  It is surprisingly small and lightweight and very useful for surgical applications in dentistry.  I also discovered that these lasers can scorch your retina from 15 feet away if you don’t follow the rules and wear the safety glasses!
