In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rad, a leader in sleep apnea and gum health, to explore how low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is transforming modern dentistry. We discuss the profound connection between oral health and systemic disease, highlighting the role of advanced laser treatments in preventing and managing conditions like Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Dr. Rad shares insights on how laser technology enhances healing, reduces inflammation, and improves outcomes for conditions such as TMJ, receding gums, and biofilm-related infections. We also examine the latest research on oral hygiene's impact on long-term health, providing actionable strategies to protect both dental and systemic well-being. Join us for a compelling conversation that redefines the role of oral health in disease prevention and longevity. Key Takeaways: Laser Dentistry: Low-level laser therapy is instrumental in reducing inflammation, postoperative pain, and healing time after dental procedures. Oral-Systemic Connection: Poor oral health can lead to severe systemic diseases, including heart conditions, Alzheimer's, and diabetes, emphasizing the importance of oral hygiene in overall health. Gum Health: Emerging studies suggest lasers could help revert gum recession non-surgically, enhancing gum health without invasive procedures. Sleep Apnea: A focus on diagnosing and treating sleep apnea highlights its importance in maintaining not just oral health but overall well-being, with Dr. Rad offering insights on home-based sleep studies. Preventive Measures: Essential daily practices like regular water swishing, strategic flossing, and use of non-fluoride products help in managing oral bacteria and maintaining oral health.

Kevin Dykema always excelled at math as a student, mastering formulas and solving problems with ease. But when he stepped into the classroom as a teacher, he realized that true understanding of math goes far beyond surface-level memorization—it's about deeply engaging with concepts to guide others on their learning journeys. In this inspiring episode, Kevin, former president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), shares his story of transformation. We discuss the challenges of moving from procedural expertise to conceptual understanding, why embracing mistakes is essential for learning, and how teachers can create classrooms where students AND sometimes teachers say, “Oh, now I get it!” Whether you've ever questioned your math abilities or are looking to inspire others to see themselves as math people, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.

Join us for an engaging discussion with Kevin Dykema, past president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, as he sheds light on the evolving landscape of math education. Kevin shares his transformation from excelling in rote memorization to prioritizing a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. We explore the challenges educators face when adhering to procedural teaching methods and the pressing need for a student-centered approach. Listen in as we uncover the disconnect between teacher preparation and real classroom experiences, and why it's crucial to reimagine how we teach mathematics.Together with Kevin, we confront the societal misconceptions that often surround mathematics, from adults' tendencies to downplay their math skills to the stereotypes of mathematicians. This episode presents a six-point action plan designed to foster a positive math identity, emphasizing perseverance and community support. Discover how these strategies can transform the perception of math from mere memorization to a field that encourages critical thinking and real-world application, thereby helping students see themselves as capable mathematicians.We also delve into innovative teaching methods that engage students in mathematical thinking. Kevin discusses the importance of moving away from traditional procedural teaching and towards presenting students with rich, contextual problems that ignite curiosity and facilitate productive struggle. By embracing diverse problem-solving methods and recognizing the value of students' unique approaches, both teachers and learners can cultivate a dynamic, inclusive math experience. We wrap up with insights into the intersection of math and coding, and how these disciplines promote essential critical thinking skills in our technology-driven world.

This throwback episode features a replay of a Dental Hacks episode featuring Brian Colao of Dykema! Brian Colao knows DSOs. He's an attorney that helps people create and administer DSOs. He's been a frequent guest on the Dental Hacks and he gave Jason and Alan some of his time at the recent Voices of Dentistry meeting. We went deep on the topic of DSOs and covered a lot of information: What is a DSO? (spoiler: "A DSO is an entity that provides nonclinical administrative support services to a dental practice that is owned by a licensed dentist.") From one practice to thousands When did we start to really see DSOs take hold The episode where we met Brian, "DSOs and Digital Smile Design (DHP186)" Was there a DSO bubble?  Denovo vs. Acquisitions What to do if a DSO approaches you? How do you research a DSO that might want to acquire your office? Brian thinks that there is probably a DSO that could fit most any office...go to a conference What are DSO deals looking like for selling dentists? The facts from Brian's mouth to your ears: DSOs are at 23% market penetration in the U.S. dental market right now. He predicts that there will be 80% market penetration in 7-10 years. He feels that you should plan accordingly. EBITA: "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, and Amortization" What does a DSO look like?

Arlis Kay Perry (née Dykema; February 22, 1955 – October 12, 1974)[1] was a newlywed 19-year-old North Dakota native who was killed in Stanford Memorial Church on the grounds of Stanford University on October 12, 1974. Her murder remains unsolved.[2] Perry was found murdered in the church in the early morning hours of October 13, 1974.[3] Perry went to church at around 11:30 p.m. the previous night after an argument with her husband. Perry was sexually assaulted with altar candles but was not raped.[4] An ice pick was found jammed deep into the base of her skull during autopsy.[5] David Berkowitz, the notorious "Son of Sam" killer from New York City, mentioned the Perry murder in a few letters, suggesting that he heard details of the crime from "Manson II", the culprit. In the San Jose Mercury News, Jessie Seyfer noted that "investigators interviewed [Berkowitz] in prison and now believe he has nothing of value to offer" regarding the Perry case.[6] Perry's widower, Bruce D. Perry, MD, PhD, is a clinician and researcher in children's mental health and the neurosciences, and an internationally recognized authority on children in crisis.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

On today's episode of the Dentalpreneur Podcast, recorded live at the Dental Success Summit, Dr. Mark Costes interviews Brian A. Colao, a leading authority in the DSO (Dental Support Organization) space. Brian has transformed Dykema's DSO group into a renowned leader in middle-market DSO buy-side and sell-side transactions. In this insightful interview, Dr. Costes explores the current landscape of dental consolidation and the impact of interest rates and the economic climate on the appetite for consolidation. Brian shares his expertise, highlighting that consolidation in the DSO space continues to be explosive due to low transaction risks, availability of bank loans, and investments from private equity funds. The conversation further delves into the dynamics of the private equity world, where the need to deploy capital drives interest in dental assets. Brian discusses the shift in focus from buying more EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) to achieving same-store growth as market restrictions increase. Dr. Costes also explores the trend of younger doctors selling to private equity earlier in their careers compared to mid to late career dentists.
