Mr. James Wolfe gave a speech in which he discussed the Rule of 72, a method of taking money and reducing the time it takes to double it from 40 years to three years. He talked about the importance of having money work harder for you and how most people's money is unemployed, meaning it's not working for them. He discussed how taxation can be a big drain on finances and how he teaches his clients to reduce their taxation to increase their profits. He gave an example of how a thousand dollars invested in a project that gives a 24% monthly rate of return can grow to $4 million over 36 months. He encouraged his audience to learn about the Rule of 72 and employ their money to work for them through leverage and the right investments.   https://www.thedentalfestival.com/

The speaker, Karan, talks about the pressure to be perfect and fit in, as well as his own experiences with low self-esteem and body issues. He describes a catalyst moment in grade six where he was bullied and felt uncomfortable in his body, which led him to avoid swimming for the next 20 years. He reflects on the idea of perfect and how he no longer believes in it, especially after a friend's passing. He talks about the Dash, the line between the year of birth and death on a tombstone, and how people live in a manufactured version of themselves to please others. He also mentions a story of a woman who goes missing in Iceland after buying a beautiful red dress.  She realizes that she doesn't need the validation of others to feel beautiful and confident. She embraces her own unique qualities, without trying to fit into the mold of what others expect from her. In conclusion, Karan's message is about living a life on your own terms, embracing your imperfections, and not striving for perfection or the approval of others. He encourages his audience to have their own catalyst moments, to live in their own dash, and to be true to themselves.   https://www.thedentalfestival.com/

Dr. Louis Chmura discusses the importance of a complete diagnosis before giving a patient clear aligners. He emphasizes that bypassing the diagnostic part can lead to leaving correction on the table, leaving a patient with a limited treatment plan. He stresses that a comprehensive diagnosis must include the ABCs: airway, beauty, and occlusion. Dr. Chmura recommends collaboration with orthodontists around the world to expand your market and provide better treatment plans for your patients. Finally, he compares the process to learning to fly a plane and emphasizes the importance of proper training and collaboration.   https://www.thedentalfestival.com/

Jay Malik is an accountant. He thanks the judges for introducing him and notes that accountants are not as social as people think. He jokes about developing a passion for IRS, but then shares three tips that can help reduce tax burden. The first tip is to get a second opinion on your tax return, as 95% of the dentist clients who sent him their tax returns have overpaid in tax. The second tip is to have a written financial plan that includes tax strategies, as implementing tax strategies without a financial plan may not work as well. The third tip is to be reasonable and have a retirement plan, as many of his clients come to him without a retirement plan and regret it later.   https://www.thedentalfestival.com/

Dr. Hershell G. Steele gave a talks about antioxidants and dentistry. He discussed three points: (1) the relevance of nutrition and antioxidants for dentistry; (2) why now is a great time to use nutrition in dental practice; and (3) how to implement nutrition in dental practice. Dr. Steele highlighted that nutrition and antioxidants are critical to the development, growth, and maintenance of good teeth, mouth, and airway, and are backed by tens of thousands of scientific articles. He also emphasized that the nutrition business is over a $50 billion per year industry, and over 80% of patients are already taking a supplement, making it a good opportunity for dentists to recommend a good supplement to their patients. To implement nutrition in dental practice, dentists and hygienists can prescribe topical antioxidant gels, vitamin D, and antioxidants for patients undergoing bone surgeries. Patients should be advised to continue taking minimal doses of supplements for at least a year or more to see results. However, choosing supplements should be done carefully, as the FDA minimally regulates them. Dr. Steele advised using laboratories with better quality control standards in place to ensure cosmetic and functional results.   https://www.thedentalfestival.com/

The speaker talks about the importance of finding ways to save on taxes and introduces three buckets: the team, deductions, and classification/reclassification of income. He adds humor to his presentation by making jokes about taxes being no laughing matter and how people would rather die than pay taxes, and he concludes by sharing tax advice that the audience can use to put more money in their pockets.   https://www.thedentalfestival.com/
