Validation might be the most powerful leadership tool you're not using. This often-overlooked skill—distinct from praise, problem-solving, or agreement—has the remarkable ability to transform your dental practice from the inside out.When team members bring concerns or patients express frustration, our instinct as dentists and practice owners is to jump straight to solutions. But this approach misses a crucial step that neuroscience shows is essential for creating real change. Validation—the simple act of acknowledging someone's feelings by showing you understand their perspective—activates reward centers in the brain, creating psychological safety and opening people to feedback. at dentalpracticeheroes.com and transform your practice into one where systems actually get implemented, team members stay longer, and you can practice fewer days while making more.

If you'd like to discuss your finances with a professional, you can connect with Anick here: https://www.viderefinancial.com/contact———————————————————————You can download your FREE report on how you can avoid financial mistakes as a dentist using the link just here >>>  dentistswhoinvest.com/podcastreport———————————————————————Your financial future deserves more than a menu of investment products. But how can you tell whether the advice you are receiving is truly in your best interest or just a surface-level recommendation?In this episode, Certified Financial Planner Anick Sharma unpacks the confusing world of financial advice, explaining the real difference between financial advisors, wealth managers, and financial planners. While Independent Financial Advisors (IFAs) offer a broader range of products across the market, many others operate under restrictions, recommending only from a limited panel, often at higher cost and with narrower relevance.We discuss why wealth management typically focuses on investment portfolios alone, often overlooking key life goals and broader financial context. In contrast, true financial planning takes a holistic approach, mapping out a clear route from where you are now to where you want to be and ensuring your money supports what matters most in life.Anick also highlights one of the most dangerous misconceptions: that “low-risk” portfolios are always the safest choice. In fact, if they fail to outpace inflation, they may quietly erode your financial future. As Anick puts it, “There's no point going to the grave with a great big stack of money. You're just going to make the kids rich, not necessarily yourself fulfilled.”So how can you tell if your adviser is offering genuine financial planning or simply selling a product? Ask the right questions, like “When can I retire?” and “What assumptions are you using to get there?” and see if they can answer with evidence and clarity, not just jargon.Whether you are at the beginning of your financial journey or planning your exit strategy, this episode will help you ask better questions, demand better answers, and take more confident control of your financial future.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

The James Craig Case - 5 Shocking Truths Of Alleged Killer Dentist James Craig was a respected Colorado dentist, a family man, and a churchgoing father of six. But in March 2023, his wife Angela Craig was rushed to the hospital with mysterious symptoms. Three days later, she was dead—and James Craig was under arrest for her murder. In this gripping episode, we unpack the bizarre and disturbing case of James Craig, who is accused of poisoning his wife with arsenic and potassium cyanide… delivered through her protein shake. Investigators say he Googled “how much arsenic to kill a human,” ordered the poison to his office, and tried multiple times to finish the job—even while she was hospitalized. All while allegedly maintaining a secret affair with a Texas orthodontist. But the chaos didn't stop with the arrest. Craig's murder trial has been delayed repeatedly due to courtroom absurdities, including a defense attorney quitting the night before trial—claiming Craig asked him to do something illegal—and another lawyer getting arrested for arson. Yes, really. Even more shocking? Prosecutors allege that while in jail, Craig attempted to orchestrate a murder-for-hire plot against the lead detective—and tried to plant fake suicide letters to bolster his defense. With jury selection now underway in July 2025, this may be one of the most outrageous true crime stories in recent history. Join us as we explore the twisted details of the case, the evidence, the attempted cover-ups, and what this trial means for justice and trust in the people closest to us.

How do you manage patients that have ultra high expectations? What's the best way to communicate cosmetic outcomes before the final result? How do you balance your aesthetic vision with what they see? Dr. Brandon Mack joins Jaz for a deep dive into the realities of cosmetic dentistry—from subjective perceptions of beauty to practical tips that make or break a case. They discuss how to navigate aesthetic stress, manage patient expectations, and even go into Brandon's favorite veneer cement and occlusal philosophy. Plus, Brandon shares key failures that shaped his journey—and how you can avoid the same pitfalls. https://youtu.be/s7puDNP3d7U Watch PDP231 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: When discussing smile design with patients, especially in high-end cosmetic cases, set the right expectations early by using this memorable “Eyebrow Analogy”: Central incisors = Twins (they should be as symmetrical as possible) Lateral incisors = Sisters (not identical, but related) Canines = Cousins (more individual) This helps patients understand that perfect symmetry isn't always natural or necessary — especially for lateral incisors! Key Takeaways Cosmetic dentistry as a lens through which all treatment should be approached—balancing patient autonomy with ethical care. Managing expectations begins before the patient sits in the chair. It continues through structured checkpoints: from initial consultation to provisional feedback and final delivery. Temps aren't just placeholders—they are test drives. They align expectations between the dentist, patient, and lab, reducing surprises and improving satisfaction. Some dentists may under-diagnose due to fear of rejection—not out of true minimalism. Thoughtful planning can make “more treatment” actually less invasive. Patients often want teeth that are both ultra-white and natural-looking. Brandon developed the concept of believability—a visual balance that delivers a wow-factor while still appearing real. Creating a mathematically perfect smile can make natural facial asymmetries more obvious. Dentists must weigh beauty against harmony. Social media and filters have distorted patient self-perception. Dentists must learn to identify signs of body or tooth dysmorphia and respond ethically—not just clinically. Building relationships with ceramists over time—expecting 15–20 cases before finding synergy. Each technician has unique strengths and should be matched accordingly. Composite veneers are accessible and beautiful—but extremely technique-sensitive. You become the ceramist. Brandon admires them but uses them selectively due to long-term maintenance concerns.

In this important episode, Wes Read walks dental and healthcare practice owners through the major tax provisions of the sweeping “One Big Beautiful Bill,” passed just before July 4th. This landmark legislation includes hundreds of provisions designed to extend prior tax cuts, adjust deductions, and shape the future of business and personal tax planning. Wes distills the dense legislation into clear, actionable takeaways to help you make informed decisions for your practice.Who This Is For:Dental and healthcare practice owners, business managers, and anyone interested in staying ahead of tax law changes that can affect practice profitability and personal finances.Special Note:This episode focuses exclusively on the tax-related provisions of the bill. Other elements, such as savings accounts or unrelated policy changes, are not covered.Key PointsExtension of 2017 Tax Cuts: The bill makes the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax brackets “permanent,” preventing them from reverting to pre-2017 higher rates in 2026.National Debt Concerns: Despite extending lower rates, the U.S. continues running significant deficits, adding trillions in debt—raising questions about long-term fiscal sustainability.SALT Deduction Increase: The state and local tax deduction cap rises from $10,000 to $40,000, especially benefiting practice owners in high-tax states like California and New York.Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTE): Practice owners still have the option to deduct state taxes via their business entity rather than personal Schedule A—requiring careful planning to choose the optimal strategy.Phase-Out Thresholds: SALT benefits phase out for married couples earning over $500,000 ($600,000 for full phase-out), making PTE elections more favorable for higher earners.Child Tax Credit Increase: The credit increases slightly from $2,000 to $2,200 per child through 2028, with income phaseouts beginning at $400,000 for married filers.Tax Planning Imperative: Proactive tax forecasting is critical to maximize deductions and avoid missed opportunities in this evolving tax environment.#DentalPractice #TaxPlanning #SALTdeduction #DentalFinance #PracticeCFO #DentalBoardroomPodcast #HealthcareFinance #TaxLawUpdate #SmallBusinessTaxes #PassThroughEntityTax

What happens when you buy a dental practice straight out of school? Richard and Andrew get real about the wins, the painful lessons, and the strategies that make it possible. If you're dreaming of ownership, this episode is packed with practical advice—and a few hard truths.

Alan reflects on the importance of maintenance, both in car care and dental practices. He discusses the parallels between regular car maintenance and consistent dental care, emphasizing the benefits of methodical upkeep to avoid surprises and extend longevity. Dr. Mead proposes using AI to create comprehensive dental maintenance reports for patients, akin to car service records, to improve recall practices and patient engagement. The point is that car owners and patients can actually take pride in being responsible for themselves. Key takeaways: Embrace the "Adulting" Mindset: Just as regular car maintenance is a sign of responsible adulthood, so is consistent dental care. Patients who come in for regular recalls are already in a mindset to take care of their health, making them more receptive to your recommendations. Improve Your Communication: Car dealerships often provide a detailed report of what was checked, what was done, and what might need attention in the future. Dentists can adopt a similar strategy by providing patients with a clear, concise summary of their visit, including visual aids like intraoral photos, to reinforce the value of the appointment. Plant Seeds for Future Treatment: Use the recall appointment to educate patients about potential future needs. Mentioning a tooth that might need a crown down the line plants a seed, so when the time comes for treatment, the patient is already prepared and understands the necessity.
