Dr. Carole Keim welcomes pediatric dentist Dr. Ian Kott, DDS, to The Baby Manual to talk about children's oral hygiene, everything from brushing teeth to weaning kids off pacifiers. Dr. Kott explains when a child's first dental visit should happen and what to expect from it, and gives tips on how to start brushing children's teeth as soon as the teeth appear. Dr. Keim and Dr. Kott discuss cavity prevention, the importance of discouraging thumb sucking and pacifiers, and when to consider discontinuing bedtime bottle use. Dr. Kott explains that training toothpaste is useful, even when it doesn't contain fluoride, because it teaches children the aspect of teeth brushing that involves spitting. He shares tips on how to make teeth brushing easier or more fun for children who fight it. The causes of cavities in kids are from anything that is a fermentable carbohydrate: milk, juice, and even breast milk, once a child is on solid food. One of the reasons to wean children off nighttime bottles of formula is to prevent tooth decay from the fermentable carbohydrate staying on their teeth too long, but also because pacifiers, bottles, and thumb sucking all change the swallowing patterns and shape of the palate in children over the age of two. There is a vast amount of very helpful practical advice, knowledge, and information about pediatric dental care contained in this episode.   Dr. Ian Kott, DDS:Originally from Michigan, Dr. Kott received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Michigan in 1999. As a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Public Health Service, Dr. Kott has completed several tours of duty as Senior Dental Officer in the United States Coast Guard and as Deputy Chief Clinic Administrator with the Indian Health Service, all stationed in Alaska. After gaining a variety of valuable experiences in general dentistry, Dr. Kott felt compelled to specialize in treating children. He completed his Postgraduate Residency in Pediatric Dentistry at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston in 2009. Dr. Kott is married with two young sons.__ Resources discussed in this episode:The Holistic Mamas Handbook is available on AmazonThe Baby Manual is also available on Amazon__Contact Dr. Carole Keim, MDlinktree | tiktok | instagramContact Dr. Ian Kott, DDSwebsite | linkedin Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Modern Minuteman concept is still being fleshed out and developed with lots of considerations when it comes to modern warfare. Among the many details to establish has been the apparent need for weapon platforms that can increase engagement tempo and firepower offering tactical options for small units and teams. This need has led to many different ideas and perspectives on how the modern minuteman should approach specialized platforms and some look to the military for answers. Although the military can offer many valuable insights into fighting methods, the military doctrine and approach to the use of machine guns is very specific. In this episode Stephen and Jacob sit down with Ben Price (a fomer USMC 0331 Machine Gunner) to explain the ways military machine gun tactics differ from small unit auto rifle tactics. These differences are important to highlight because we believe it better informs the overall concept of what platforms best serve the mission of the modern minuteman.   CONTACT US The best way to get a hold of us is to email us.

The dental lab–dentist relationship has transformed dramatically over the past 25 years—and it's evolving faster than ever.

The Modern Minuteman concept is still being fleshed out and developed with lots of considerations when it comes to modern warfare. Among the many details to establish has been the apparent need for weapon platforms that can increase engagement tempo and firepower offering tactical options for small units and teams. Having a platform available that can offer "flip-the-script" capability has been hard to attain due to laws and lack of demand, but times have changed. Looking back at history and at fighting philosophies that were used to great effect, the "Auto Rifle" platform quickly emerges. To help explore this topic further and to truly breakdown the Auto Rifle and how it is attainable in topday's world, Jacob and Stephen sit down with Cody of Red Right Hand LLC. In this episode, Cody talks about the Auto Rifle purpose and it's role within small unit fighting philosophies as well as highlighting the AR pattern Auto Rifle / LMG uppers that his company developes.

Do you ever wonder why some dental practices struggle with case acceptance—even when the clinical work is top-notch? Often, the real issue starts long before the patient ever sits in the chair. The truth is, your front office team may be unintentionally sabotaging big cases without even knowing it. From missed opportunities on the phone to using the wrong words with potential patients, these small mistakes can cost you thousands in lost revenue. In this episode, we break down why your patient's buying process begins the moment they call your practice—and how training your front office team could be the single most important investment you make this year. You'll learn how to turn phone calls into powerful first impressions, frame conversations around benefits instead of fear, and set the stage for case acceptance before the consultation even begins. @02:21 – Are You Training the Wrong Team Members First? @03:59 – Why the Front Office Call Is Your True First Impression @09:44 – Why Dentistry Has Changed and How to Adapt @15:43 – Talking About Price Without Losing Patients @26:42 – Winning the Case Before They Step Inside Connect with Dr. Tarun Agarwal,DDS LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/tbonespeaks/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tbonespeaks Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tbonespeaks Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tbonespeaks Who is Dr. Tarun Agarwal?

William Robbins, DDS, MA / Marcela Alvarez, DDS, MS / Bradley Beckel, DDS In the not too distant past, the specialist's tool box was fairly limited in the adult patient. The orthodontist's tools included aligning teeth, intruding anterior teeth and orthognathic surgery. The periodontists tools were pocket elimination surgery and gingival grafting. Today orthodontists and periodontists have many procedures and techniques, which have opened a new world of treatment planning for the pre-restorative interdisciplinary patient. These include pre-orthodontic bonding, esthetic crown lengthening, surgically facilitated orthodontic treatment (SFOT), temporary anchorage devices (TADs), skeletal anchorage plates, micro-implant assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE), custom MARPE, and distraction osteogenesis with maxillary expansion (DOME). The purpose of The Mastery is to provide the restorative dentist with an understanding of these tools and a common language with which to enhance communication with the specialists. At the completion of the 4-day continuum, the restorative dentist will be able to actually incorporate the knowledge of these new tools into their everyday practice.

In Episode 221 of Manufacturing Hub, hosts Vlad Romanov and Dave Griffith sit down without a guest to share valuable real-world lessons on data collection, manufacturing intelligence, and implementing solutions that deliver measurable ROI. This episode wraps up the month's theme on manufacturing intelligence by tying together the insights from previous episodes and putting them into the context of real plant-floor projects.Vlad begins with an in-depth story from his time at Procter & Gamble, where he led an energy monitoring project with the ambitious goal of reducing power consumption by 20 percent. He explains the practical challenges of turning a corporate initiative into an actionable plant-level strategy, from limited baseline data to deciding between standalone meters and integrated monitoring solutions. Vlad shares the lessons learned in balancing cost, data ownership, and scalability, and why a more open solution can sometimes offer greater long-term value than proprietary systems.Dave then takes us into the world of pet food manufacturing, where millions of dollars in raw materials can be lost each year due to inaccurate batching and poor measurement practices. He walks through the process of defining the problem, setting up data collection without overhauling legacy systems, and using that information to identify overages, improve tolerances, and design remediation strategies. The conversation dives into practical engineering decisions, such as when to invest in VFDs for precision dosing, when to redesign process equipment, and how to ensure data insights lead to lasting operational changes.The discussion expands into organizational challenges, including why decision-makers often lack actionable visibility into losses, how to present findings in terms of tangible business impact, and the cultural shift required to actually use the data once it is available. Vlad and Dave also explore examples from discrete manufacturing, where OEE tracking and daily direction setting (DDS) meetings help guide capital allocation, continuous improvement initiatives, and team alignment. They share observations on why some facilities succeed with these systems while others fall back into old habits.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Episode 221 and monthly theme recap02:00 Vlad's background and approach to modernization projects04:50 Dave's background and focus on data-driven manufacturing solutions06:30 Recap of previous episodes on data collection, historians, and MTP/MCP07:30 Vlad's Procter & Gamble energy monitoring project case study13:40 Addressing power blips, capacitor banks, and ROI considerations19:10 Choosing between proprietary and open monitoring solutions23:40 Dave's pet food manufacturing story and raw material variance29:50 Methods for data collection without disrupting legacy systems34:20 Improving accuracy, process changes, and remediation strategies44:00 Organizational challenges in acting on data insights52:00 OEE, DDS meetings, and capital allocation in discrete manufacturing59:50 Predictions for the future of manufacturing intelligence and AI integrationReferences MentionedIgnition by Inductive Automation – https://inductiveautomation.com/Ignition Community Conference (ICC) – https://icc.inductiveautomation.com/Procter & Gamble – https://us.pg.com/Rockwell Automation – https://www.rockwellautomation.com/Mettler Toledo – https://www.mt.com/Badwater Ultramarathon – https://www.badwater.com/“Can't Hurt Me” by David Goggins – https://davidgoggins.com/book/About the HostsVlad Romanov works with manufacturers to modernize operations by bridging the gap between legacy systems and today's technology.

There is so much instability and uncertainty in our world today, and it is important to do our best to stay informed and aware of what is going on. Although most global issues are well beyond our control and some don't have a direct impact on our local communities, it is critical that we acknowledge the big picture and prepare for downhill effects. On top of these global and geopolitical issues there are numerous issues that are more immediate for us here in America.    In this episode Stephen and Jacob break down the importance of community involvement in regard to the bigger picture. Between foreign wars, global power posturing, and national security concerns, there is a lot that the modern minuteman and their teams should be paying attention to for overall preparedness and so much of that starts with the "inner circle" moving to the "outer circle".   CONTACT US The best way to get a hold of us is to email us.

Do you keep hearing “I'll think about it” from patients—and wonder what went wrong? The truth is, when patients stall, it's not them. It's you. This episode breaks down why treatment acceptance often stalls, what “I'll think about it” really means, and the systems you need to replace polite rejections with confident yeses. Join us as we expose the myth that dental case acceptance is about selling, and instead redefine it as leadership, clarity, and building trust. You'll walk away understanding why confidence, conversation, and consistency—not complexity—are the true game-changers in your dental practice. @01:12 – What “I'll think about it” actually means @04:12 – The moment patients start to check out mentally @06:02 – Awareness tools and why photos matter @08:54 – Urgency through scheduling structure @14:00 – What to say when you hear “I'll think about it” @19:05 – How the 3D Mastermind solves these issues Connect with Dr. Tarun Agarwal,DDS LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/tbonespeaks/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tbonespeaks Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tbonespeaks Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tbonespeaks Who is Dr. Tarun Agarwal?

Have you ever walked past your front desk and thought, "That's not how I would have said that to a patient"? Yeah, me too. I used to get frustrated, but then I realized something important—it's not their fault. It's ours as leaders. If our team doesn't speak with the same confidence and clarity we do, it's because we haven't taught them how. In this episode, I'm walking you through how to build your Practice Language Playbook—a simple but powerful tool to make sure your entire team communicates with alignment, value, and clarity. When your assistant, front desk, and hygienist all speak the same language (yours), your patients trust you more—and they say yes more often. I'll also share some of the exact scripts we use, how we train our team through roleplay, and why your language is one of the most important parts of your leadership. If you want your practice to run smoother, this episode is for you. Hit play now—and let's align your team one phrase at a time. Want to connect or give me feedback?

Do you feel like the world of dentistry is shifting faster than you can keep up? Are the rising wages, dwindling hygiene staff, and growing influence of DSOs leaving you wondering what's next for private practice? In this episode, I sat down with my longtime friend and podcasting pioneer Dr. Alan Mead to unpack a critical and controversial topic that's sweeping through the profession: “hygiene light.” We dove deep into the Nevada bill that's igniting fiery debates, explored how mid-level providers are reshaping the profession, and discussed how dentists can pivot, survive—and thrive—through these changes. This episode isn't just about what's happening—it's about how we can take control of our future.
