Join Elevated GP by visiting THEELEVATEDGP.COM   In Part 2 of his conversation with Dr. Melissa Seibert, periodontist Dr. David Wong unpacks why patients actually decline treatment — and it's rarely the money or the dentistry. It's the connection you failed to build. He walks through the soft-skill work that's defined his career: reading where a patient sits on the decision-making scale, designing a separate consultation room so he can sit beside patients instead of across from them, and disarming fight-or-flight by finding common ground fast. He also shares one of the most underrated networking moves in dentistry — joining your local Chamber of Commerce — and how it helped him launch a practice from scratch. The second half pivots to the clinical: ridge preservation as a high-ROI skill for general dentists, how to think about bone graft material selection without getting overwhelmed by terminology, membrane selection for beginners through advanced users, and the specific brands David reaches for day to day. About the Guest Dr. David Wong is a board-certified periodontist and Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists — the only periodontist in Oklahoma to hold that distinction. He completed his periodontal training at the University of Missouri-Kansas City as chief resident, earned advanced implant and oral plastic surgery credentials from Temple University and the Misch International Implant Institute, and has published in the field of oral plastic surgery. Beyond his clinical work, he has spent his career studying the art of case presentation and patient communication. Chapter Markers Time Section 00:00 Pre-roll: Elevated GP 00:49 Welcome and episode preview 02:14 Why patients decline treatment — the connection problem 04:24 The mistake of trying to build trust in one appointment 05:06 Recommended books and resources on soft skills 06:44 Why David joins mastermind groups outside dentistry 08:35 The Chamber of Commerce — an untapped networking resource 10:41 How the Chamber helped David launch his practice from scratch 11:20 Ridge preservation as a high-ROI skill for GPs 12:30 Honest take on dental photography ROI 13:27 Bone graft material selection — keeping it simple 14:38 Allografts vs. xenografts and the global supply reality 15:18 Membrane selection: beginner, intermediate, advanced 16:19 The handling reality of amnion-chorion membranes 17:19 When primary closure matters 17:53 Non-resorbable / PTFE membranes — when they help, when they hurt 19:04 Subscribe CTA 19:20 The specific brands David uses day to day 20:35 The one thing David has invested most in: case presentation 21:09 Inside David's consultation room setup 23:04 Three resources for learning case presentation Key Takeaways On why treatment plans get declined. When patients say "I'll go home and think about it," dentists default to "they don't value the dentistry" or "they can't afford it." David's argument: the most common reason is that you didn't build trust or form a connection. People will spend $20,000 on a European vacation but not on asymptomatic dental work — that's a comparison about trust and felt need, not budget. Connection is a long game, not a five-minute pitch. New dentists try to close trust in a single appointment. David's reframe: you'll see this patient over years. Foster the relationship as long as it takes, and they will do the treatment — maybe not all at once, but eventually. The "I'm the doctor, you're the patient" model breaks in fee-for-service. Patients in a fee-for-service practice are decision-makers, not compliant subjects. You have to meet them as one. Design the room around the conversation. For any case over roughly $1,500, David moves the patient to a dedicated consultation room and sits side-by-side at a table — not across the operatory chair. He pays attention to where he's seated relative to the patient and the door. He has even recorded his own case presentations on camera and had them coached. The Chamber of Commerce is one of the most underused networking moves in dentistry. Every city has one. Dues are minimal or free. You get a room full of local entrepreneurs — publishers, contractors, surgeons, service providers — solving the same problems you are, just in different industries. When David launched his practice from scratch, the Chamber funded part of his open house, ran his ribbon-cutting, and brought a crowd. Get your CE ROI right. Start with skills that pay dividends immediately — molar endo, ridge preservation/socket grafting. They have low downside (a missed socket graft is no worse than not grafting at all), short learning curves, and you'll actually use them weekly. "Sexy" CE without immediate clinical application sits unused. Keep ridge preservation simple. Don't get lost in the 70/30 vs. 50/50 mineralized/demineralized debate. David teaches just two categories: mineralized cortical bone, or mineralized cortical-cancellous bone. That's it. For membranes, beginners should default to a long-lasting resorbable collagen membrane. The fancier options (cross-linked, titanium-reinforced, amnion-chorion, PTFE) are handling-skill problems before they're outcome problems. Case presentation isn't about "salesy words." It's about reading non-verbal cues, responding appropriately, and conducting the conversation — not delivering the right script. Notable Quotes "It's not necessarily just because they don't want it. It's not necessarily just because of financial constraints. It's because we didn't build the trust. We didn't form that connection." "You're going to see this patient more than one time. Hopefully ten years from now they're still your patient — so you have to foster that relationship as long as it takes." "We'll spend $20,000 on a European vacation. We won't spend $20,000 on dentistry when we're asymptomatic and have no known issues." "You spend all that money [on a photography setup] and you still use your intraoral camera to sell single-tooth dentistry. Good job." "Two, three years later, I am the guy where they're just like, 'Dr. Wong, just take my money and do it.'" "A lot of times dentists think that case presentation is using the right words — salesy words. That's not it at all."

Les aules de teatre per a adults arriben al final de curs i ho celebren aquest dissabte amb dues funcions al Teatre de Lloret de Mar, on portaran a escena tot el treball fet durant l'any. D'una banda, l'Aula de Teatre d'Adults presentarà “Després de la pluja”, de Sergi Belbel, en una versió dirigida i adaptada per Judit Saula. L'obra està ambientada al terrat d'un gratacel d'una gran ciutat on fa dos anys que no plou. En aquest espai, un grup de treballadores coincideix en les pauses per fumar i comparteix inquietuds, pors i frustracions, oferint una mirada humana sobre l'entorn de les grans corporacions. Judit Saula afegeix que és «una obra distòpica». El repartiment està format per Àlex García, Antonia García, Cristina Domènech, Laia Barbarà, Montse Xirgu, Olga Menshikova, Pere Barceló, Pili Cerdán i Raquel Garcia. El cartell de l’obra ‘Lloret a l’AST». La segona proposta és “Lloret a l'AST”, una adaptació basada en el text Rostoll Cremat, de Toni Gomila. Està dirigida per Joan Romà Ortiz, que explica que és una «comèdia que retrata amb humor la vida quotidiana a Lloret de Mar, és una mirada crítica a la indústria però també un homenatge a la seva gent». L'obra compta amb les interpretacions de Cristina Carbó, Agnés Moretones, Cristina Pérez, Ela Esquiva, Mireia Garvin, Pep Agustí, Sergio Fidemraizer i Susana Perpiñá. Entre les dues produccions, gairebé una vintena d'actors pujaran a l'escenari en una vetllada teatral que tanca el curs de les aules d'adults, iniciades el passsat mes de novembre. Les funcions tindran lloc aquest dissabte, 13 de juny, a les 19 h, al Teatre de Lloret de Mar. L'entrada és gratuïta, però cal invitació.

L’actor Paco Moreno, de Lloret de Mar, forma part de dues noves campanyes publicitàries d’abast internacional que s’han estrenat aquesta setmana a les xarxes socials. Es tracta d’un anunci de Coca-Cola amb motiu del Mundial de Futbol 2026, en què també apareix l’entrenador portuguès José Mourinho, i d’una campanya protagonitzada per la supermodel nord-americana Cindy Crawford. La primera de les produccions correspon a la campanya «No Better Feeling» de Coca-Cola, una iniciativa promocional vinculada a la Copa del Món de Futbol del 2026. La participació de Moreno es va enregistrar el passat mes de desembre a Sitges, en una escena ambientada en un bar. “El meu personatge celebra un gol, va ser una escena molt divertida de rodar. Treballar amb les grans marques és molt gratificant, perquè tenen una part tècnica molt professional i ho veus en el resultat, com a anècdota, els agradava el meu perfil perquè deien que tenia un aire mexicà», recorda en Paco. La campanya de Coca-Cola tindrà difusió internacional durant els pròxims tres mesos coincidint amb el Mundial de Futbol del 2026. Paral·lelament, Paco Moreno també apareix en una campanya publicitària protagonitzada per la icònica model Cindy Crawford. Tot i que l’anunci està ambientat a Nova York, el rodatge es va dur a terme a Barcelona. En aquest cas, es promociona un producte de la marca Upneeq, un coliri vinculat al sector de la bellesa i la cura ocular. L’intèrpret lloretenc comparteix pantalla amb la model en una producció que recrea escenes urbanes inspirades en la ciutat nord-americana. Quan el personatge d’en Paco veu la Cindy, queda bocabadat com la resta de participants de l’spot.

El Bàsquet Lloret ha incorporat Bernat Elías com a nou director esportiu per a les pròximes dues temporades. Amb una trajectòria de més de 25 anys vinculada al món del bàsquet, Elías arriba al club amb l’objectiu de consolidar el seu creixement esportiu i reforçar la seva estructura de futur. El nou director esportiu arriba procedent de la JET Terrassa i, al llarg de la seva carrera, ha treballat en entitats com el Cadí La Seu i el Casal Vilafranca. També ha desenvolupat part de la seva trajectòria internacional a Dinamarca i Suècia, on va entrenar equips sèniors i va aconseguir el títol de la lliga sueca l’any 2019 amb el Södertälje Kings. Llicenciat en Ciències de l’Activitat Física i l’Esport, especialitzat en rendiment de bàsquet, entrenador superior i amb un postgrau en coaching esportiu, Elías aporta una àmplia experiència tant en la formació de jugadors com en la direcció d’equips. Entre les prioritats que s’ha fixat per a aquesta nova etapa destaquen la formació continuada dels entrenadors i el reforç de l’estructura femenina del club. Elías considera que el creixement de l’entitat ha d’anar més enllà de l’increment de jugadors i equips. En aquest sentit, defensa que «no només s’ha de créixer en nombre, també s’ha de créixer en qualitat» i aposta perquè el Bàsquet Lloret es converteixi en una entitat de referència a les comarques gironines. La seva arribada també implica la implantació d’un model esportiu que entén el bàsquet com una eina educativa. Més enllà de la competició, el projecte vol fomentar valors, reforçar el sentiment de pertinença al club i contribuir al desenvolupament personal dels esportistes. Amb la planificació de la pròxima temporada ja en marxa, el nou director esportiu treballa conjuntament amb l’entitat per continuar consolidant el creixement del Bàsquet Lloret tant a nivell esportiu com formatiu.

Jonathan Hines argues Washington's public-sector union system creates a self-reinforcing financial loop — public wages become dues, dues fund PACs, and PACs elect the politicians who set the next round of contracts. He calls for opt-in-only political fundraising, pay-to-play restrictions, and an end to government-run dues collection for partisan campaigns. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-restoring-balance-breaking-the-loop-of-public-union-dues-and-politics/ #Opinion #UnionDues #CampaignFinance #WashingtonState #PublicSectorUnions #FiscalIntegrity #Olympia #LaborReform #Janus #ClarkCounty

La maladie de Crohn et la rectocolite hémorragique sont les deux maladies inflammatoires chroniques de l'intestin, appelés plus communément MICI. Dues à une dérégulation du système immunitaire, ces maladies se caractérisent par l'inflammation de la paroi d'une partie du tube digestif.

Vet aquí la història de tres dones i, en especial, dues a quí Sitges deu molt: les germanes Rosalia i Josefina Dalmau. Sense elles, la fundació Ave Maria no hagués pogut tenir l'emblemàtic edifici de Vil·la Havemann, i sense elles l'hort de Can Falç i la masia de Can Falç no haguessin passat a mans públiques. Dues donacions que si ja foren importants en el seu dia, el context actual no ha fet més que valoritzar. Amb Beli Artigas connectem la vida de Ursicina Sanahuja, vidua de Victor Havemann, amb la família Dalmau, que va rebre vil·la Havemann en herència i el 1987 en va fer donació.

Clark County Councilor Dick Rylander examines the lasting impact of the landmark Janus v. AFSCME Supreme Court decision on public sector unions and teacher dues. With Camas, Evergreen, and Battle Ground teacher contracts up for renewal, Rylander explores why Washington teachers continue paying $737 annually despite the Court's 2018 ruling that eliminated mandatory agency fees. The analysis covers union membership retention strategies and the ongoing debate over exclusive representation in public education. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-why-do-teachers-continue-to-pay-union-dues/ #TeachersUnion #JanusDecision #ClarkCounty #WashingtonEducation #LaborLaw #TeacherContracts #PublicSectorUnions #FirstAmendment #Opinion #Politics

Amb un to general de fairplay, i amb una certa contenció en la gestió del temps dels torns de paraula, es va celebrar ahir el ple extraordinari sobre l'estat del municipi, que va enfrontar, bàsicament i com era previsible, dues visions sobre com està Sitges sense cap punt de connexió. El govern va fer valer la seva gestió en l'àmbit de la vivenda, la sostenibilitat, els equipaments, o l'equilibri financer de l'hisenda municipal, per exemplificar una acció que té com a objectiu ser útil a la gent i aconseguir un municipi més ordenat, just i preparat per al futur. De la mateixa manera es va voler incidir en la defensa dels interessos de la vila en assumptes com la façana costanera o les infraestructures de rodalies i la valentia en desencallar processos com la liquidació del Club Natació o l'aturada de llicències turístiques. L'oposició, entre crítiques més dures en algunes ocasions, i més contemporitzadores o proactives en altres, parlà d'un govern allunyat de la percepció de la realitat que es té des del carrer, que gestiona reactivament i sense previsió i que està mancat de projecte i lideratge. En aquest sentit varen ser temes presents en l'argumentari dels grups de l'oposició, la neteja, la seguretat, l'habitatge, la façana marítima, la manca de pressupost i d'ordenances fiscals, els conflictes interns amb els treballadors, les instal·lacions del Club Natació o la situació del mercat municipal. L'entrada Més fair play en el debat, però dues visions contraposades sobre com està Sitges. Així va anar el ple extraordinari sobre l’estat del municipi. ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

A plan to limit when federal employees can cancel their union du es if officially off the table. The Federal Labor Relations Authority is rescinding a previous proposal from 2022, which would have given federal employees only a once-per-year opportunity to cancel dues payments. Since 2020, dues-paying federal employees have had the option to cancel automatic deductions for union dues at any time.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with DJ Drewski for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about longevity, identity, and what it really takes to build a meaningful career in hip hop without losing yourself. This isn't a highlight reel interview. It's an honest look at the grind behind the titles, the responsibility that comes with influence, and the quiet work people never see.DJ Drewski walks through his journey from carrying crates in New Jersey to becoming the first DJ from the state to hold a weekday midday slot on Hot 97 in over three decades. He talks openly about staying relevant in a fast-moving industry, how curiosity has shaped his career, and why paying dues still matters even when the industry pretends it doesn't. The conversation digs into the difference between overnight success and earned growth, and why the long road builds stronger artists, better leaders, and more grounded humans.The episode goes deeper than music. Drewski opens up about fatherhood, marriage, loss, and how personal responsibility changed the way he moves in business and in life. He shares the emotional impact of losing his father, how grief showed up in unexpected ways, and what it took to finally let go and move forward. These moments give real context to the confidence people see on the surface.Luis and Drewski also unpack culture, community, and service. From creating platforms for unsigned artists, to organizing festival stages for local talent, to opening a family-owned Rita's Italian Ice, Drewski explains why giving back isn't branding, it's a responsibility. He breaks down why he keeps showing up for the culture even when there's no check, no credit, and no applause.Key themes and takeaways discussed in this episode include:Staying relevant in hip hop without chasing trendsThe mindset behind long-term success versus fast fameUsing influence to open doors instead of guarding themNavigating grief, growth, and responsibility as a creativeWhy community work matters even when no one sees itBuilding businesses that reflect who you actually areThroughout the conversation, Luis Guzman challenges the idea that success should look flashy or loud. Instead, this episode highlights consistency, humility, and intentional decision-making as the real markers of growth. It's a reminder that being an artist doesn't mean avoiding business, it means doing business in a way that still feels honest.This episode is especially valuable for creatives, DJs, artists, and entrepreneurs who feel stuck between staying true to themselves and surviving in an industry that rewards shortcuts. It's proof that you can build something lasting without selling your soul, switching up on people, or forgetting where you came from.If this conversation resonated with you, make sure to subscribe to I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman on your preferred podcast platform.

Maddox Batson is 15, doesn’t have a driver’s license, and is somehow getting his first passport so he can head out on a world tour. In this episode, he talks about bringing his entire family on the road, growing up on bluegrass with a mandolin-master dad, and how being homeschooled actually fits with a life of airports, soundchecks, and hotel rooms. He and Bobby get into what a “normal day” looks like for him, why he begged to get off the screen and onto real stages, and how it feels now to hear crowds singing every word back. Maddox also opens up about the hobbies that keep him grounded such as collecting watches, playing golf, hunting and whether he still feels like a kid when most of his friends are just starting high school. He shares his love for artists like John Mayer, Keith Whitley, George Jones, and Ed Sheeran, his “pinch me” Opry moment, and the story of averaging 35 points a game in basketball before a knee injury changed everything. Plus, there’s a funny clip about being accused of being a ball hog, some “uncountry” talk, and what it’s like playing shows in Nashville and beyond at 15 years old.
