Join us in Miami Beach next week for the StartUp Health Festival @ ViVE 2022 to meet the MouthWatch team and dozens of other Health Transformers: startuphealth.com/festival — Thanks to COVID-19, the telemedicine industry saw an unprecedented boom over the last two years. Millions of people who never thought they'd see their doctor over a video call were introduced to the idea and discovered it was often pretty convenient. This phenomenon has gotten plenty of air time. But what about tele-dentistry? You may have to see your dentist in person if you want to get a cleaning done, but it turns out there's a whole world of virtual dental care that has exploded in the last two years, following the same trend line as telehealth. At the forefront of this movement is our guest today, Brant Herman, the CEO and Co-founder of MouthWatch. This company – which StartUp Health backed in 2015 – saw the need years ago and has designed an intraoral camera that can help visualize what's going on in the mouth and send that information to a remote specialist. They've also built Teledent, a leading platform for managing teledentistry practices. For this work they've won a host of awards, and for two years in a row have been on Inc's list of fastest growing private companies. We'll get into all of that in the interview, hear about the company's journey, and talk about the critical role of oral health in holistic health. — Join us in Miami Beach from March 6-9 for the StartUp Health Festival @ ViVE 2022 to meet Brant and dozens of other Health Transformers: startuphealth.com/festival — Connect with the team at MouthWatch.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Inspired by an article in Dentistry IQ regarding a popular misconception about CPT codes, Michelle and Andrew have invited two experts in the coding field to the podcast today to set the record straight. Teresa Duncan is a speaker and writer with over 20 years experience in healthcare whose expertise includes proven accounts receivable and insurance methods, and helping doctors and managers establish solid management systems. A recipient of the Educator of the Year Award by the Association of Dental Implant Auxiliaries, Teresa is also an author and a frequent contributor to a variety of publications. She has been named one of the Top 25 Women in Dentistry by Dental Products Report Magazine, and is recognized yearly as a Leader in Consulting by Dentistry Today. Jamie Collins, RDH-EA,BS, is a clinical practicing hygienist who has been in the dental field for twenty years. In addition to clinical practice Jamie is also an educator, has contributed to multiple textbooks, curriculum development and creation, and contributes as a key opinion leader with multiple companies. She is an active member of the American Dental Hygienists Association, a member of the Dental Codeology Consortium Committee for dental coding, and a colleague of Michelle's at MouthWatch. In today's episode, our hosts and guests discuss CDT codes in general, where dentistry has gone wrong in coding, the ADA and carriers, and the new staging and grading and which codes may apply there. They also delve into diagnosis coding, internal/unspecified codes and tracking, outcomes based payments, code 4346 and 4355 usage, the importance of educating consumers, and some code suggestions from our experts for particular scenarios. They finish up by looking at developments in coding, our experts' takeaways for listeners, and the issue with assigning codes to products. Interview starts: 4:32 CDT codes Where dentistry has gone wrong in coding The ADA and carriers The new staging and grading and codes Diagnosis coding Internal/unspecified codes and tracking Outcomes based payment Code 4346 and 4355 usage Educating consumers Code suggestions for particular scenarios Developments in coding Takeaways for listeners regarding coding Assigning codes to products QUOTES: “There's so many offices that code for what they think that they're going to get reimbursed for, rather than coding for the procedures that are actually performed.” “Dental offices don't want to lose patients, they still want the revenue so they're going to kind of give the customer what they want.” “I think there are times that the ADA could have been a little bit stronger in their representation against the carriers.” “You can't worry about the insurance, you just have to treat, diagnose treatment.” “Here's the thing with insurance carriers is when a guideline gets put out, it usually takes them about a year or two to catch up to that.” “They're going to look at redoing the CDT completely.” “We don't have the data in order to sufficiently say, ‘Hey, I need more money for this because I do a lot of it and it saves you money on this down the road.'” “If we're going to perio chart, we chart it all.” “Are there guidelines for 4355 of how much crap we knock off people's teeth?” “You don't go into a doctor's office and dictate that they take out this tumor or not this tumor, you don't do that. So I just think we're very scared of patients, and I just don't get it.” “There's this thought, ‘well, it's not going to get paid, we really shouldn't even bill it.'” “I like to get paid for things.” “The more you bill for it, you create that metric, they're seeing it coming down the road, the more apt they're going to be to cover it.” “I really believe that clinicians should not be aware of a patient's insurance status when they're back there.” “Just because it's a benefit doesn't mean that it's rooted in any kind of science.” “Start saying you probably won't get paid for it, but you can do what you think is best clinically.” “We need to code for what is needed, and what we need to do, not what the insurance will cover or won't cover for them.” LINKS: A Tale of Two Hygienists homepage - https://ataleoftwohygienists.com/ AToTH on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aTaleOfTwoHygienists/ AToTH on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ataleoftwohygienists AToTH on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/atoth/?originalSubdomain=ca PDT Homepage American Academy of Periodontology Homepage Email Jamie My Dental Educator Homepage Odyssey Management Homepage Odyssey Management Newsletter Nobody Told Me That!

On this week’s episode of “Dental Assistant Talk with Megen Elliott”, Megen is once again joined by Eden Ivie, the Director of Client Success with MouthWatch, to continue their discussion from last week, this time looking at intraoral cameras and the many benefits they provide. Episode Highlights: The evolution of intraoral cameras Why these cameras are so valuable to dental professionals The benefits to patients of using these cameras Quotes: “It’s so easy to describe their oral condition and what’s going on, what needs to be done, when you can just snap a picture and show that to them. And, they believe you.” “It really helps with patient education and patient buy-in, and building trust with your patients.” “They reduce the necessity for words, and that saves us time and energy.” “It’s going to make a huge difference in your practice.” “Patients don’t want to admit that they don’t know what you’re talking about.” “How did we practice without an intraoral camera for so long?” “They start diagnosing themselves.” “They’re going to understand more readily that that’s an infection that’s affecting their child’s health.” Links: The Dental Podcast Network Channel One homepage: http://dentalpodcastnetworkchannelone.otcpn.libsynpro.com/ The Dental Podcast Network Channel Two homepage: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dental-podcast-networks-channel-two/id1478530429 American Dental Assistants Association homepage: https://www.adaausa.org/ MouthWatch homepage: https://www.mouthwatch.com/

To continue its series on the business side of dentistry, A Tale of Two Hygienists is taking a look at how you can ensure your office team works together like a well-oiled machine. For this discussion, Michelle is joined by co-host Eden Evie of MouthWatch and a guest who specializes in personality assessment. Corinne “Corey” Jameson-Kuehl is the owner and business development leader for Custom Dental Solutions, a team of consultants that assists dental offices in developing a corporate culture that suits their vision and needs. Corey uses a combination of DISC (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance) and Driving Forces assessments to help her clients determine which roles jive well with their personality styles. In this episode, Corey discusses which key traits her assessment measures, looks at which traits Michelle and Eden scored the highest on, and helps you figure out what kind of office work you're best suited for. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts: 20:45 - Corey discusses the “Finding Your Why” course she recently held at the Indigo Conference. - What Corey's assessment can tell you about the skills and traits you bring to the dental office. - Breaking down how the DISC assessment works and what each score means. - The neat reason so many dental hygienists have the same score on Corey's assessment. - How exactly did Michelle and Eden score on Corey's assessment? We take a DEEP dive. - What Corey did to improve one hygienist's working conditions with just a single move. - What your assessment score can tell you about the kind of work you're best suited to in a dental office. - How you can tell it's time for you to start looking outside of the box and exploring new territory in your career. QUOTES: “Students are amazing, because if they can understand this concept now, this will save them so much grief in their life.” “I don't have to explain to anybody my ‘why'—you can see my why.” “Stress, to me, is something you never want to continue to adapt to.” “Even if no one else in your practice does it, learning about yourself... is the game-changer.” “If you know your Why, you'll never ask your What.” “Take what you learn and then put it into practice every day.” LINKS: Custom Dental Solutions: https://www.customdentalsolutions.com/ Custom Dental Solutions phone number: 1-262-853-1414 Corey's email: corey@customdentalsolutions.com If you want to take Corey's assessment, let her know in the email subject line!

It's part three of four of Andrew and Michelle's cariology series! As we near the final stretch, this episode's specific focus is on the tools and methods used to figure out if that little recess is a cavity or something else. Paresh Shah, DMD, has been practicing privately in Winnipeg, Manitoba, for nearly three decades. Outside of his clinics, he's a prosthodontic instructor at the University of Manitoba Dental School and an editor for the Canadian Journal of Restorative Dentistry. Paresh's years running a clinic have taught him the importance of using the latest diagnostic tools and listening to the input of his seasoned hygienists. In this episode, Dr. Shah weighs the pros and cons of different caries diagnostic methods, reveals how he's learned to spot false positives, and explains why he takes a collective approach to his clinic staff. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts: 12:00 - Dr. Shah explains how he fosters a collaborative environment in his practice and what lengths his team goes to in order to identify caries. - Some helpful tips for visually identifying caries during examination. - Why Dr. Shah and his team still stand by tactile exploration during caries diagnosis. - Newer clinical tools that get the patients themselves more invested in the diagnosis process. - How hygienists can more effectively ‘hand off' patients to the dentist for caries diagnosis. - Why time and experience are the best experience for dealing with false positives. - The reason Dr. Shah will still swear on a caries dye after all these years. - The wide array of diagnostic tools Dr. Shah and his staff use at his clinic. - Why Dr. Shah values his hygienists' clinical judgment and encourages them to speak up. QUOTES: “A lot of hygienists can be more than tooth-scrapers.” “Our traditional way of looking at caries is through visual inspection and tactile sense.” “If it sticks, we're treating it. It's as simple as that.” “If there's something I feel is not necessary to treat, I make sure I let the patient know the why of not wanting to treat it.” “You have to stretch your mind and you have to work collaboratively.” LINKS: Dr. Paresh Shah's homepage - https://www.drpareshshah.com/ Dr Shah on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drpareshshah/ Mouthwatch is the official sponsor the Cariology Series this month.

It’s part three of four of Andrew and Michelle’s cariology series! As we near the final stretch, this episode’s specific focus is on the tools and methods used to figure out if that little recess is a cavity or something else. Paresh Shah, DMD, has been practicing privately in Winnipeg, Manitoba, for nearly three decades. Outside of his clinics, he’s a prosthodontic instructor at the University of Manitoba Dental School and an editor for the Canadian Journal of Restorative Dentistry. Paresh’s years running a clinic have taught him the importance of using the latest diagnostic tools and listening to the input of his seasoned hygienists. In this episode, Dr. Shah weighs the pros and cons of different caries diagnostic methods, reveals how he’s learned to spot false positives, and explains why he takes a collective approach to his clinic staff. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts: 12:00 - Dr. Shah explains how he fosters a collaborative environment in his practice and what lengths his team goes to in order to identify caries. - Some helpful tips for visually identifying caries during examination. - Why Dr. Shah and his team still stand by tactile exploration during caries diagnosis. - Newer clinical tools that get the patients themselves more invested in the diagnosis process. - How hygienists can more effectively ‘hand off’ patients to the dentist for caries diagnosis. - Why time and experience are the best experience for dealing with false positives. - The reason Dr. Shah will still swear on a caries dye after all these years. - The wide array of diagnostic tools Dr. Shah and his staff use at his clinic. - Why Dr. Shah values his hygienists’ clinical judgment and encourages them to speak up. QUOTES: “A lot of hygienists can be more than tooth-scrapers.” “Our traditional way of looking at caries is through visual inspection and tactile sense.” “If it sticks, we're treating it. It's as simple as that.” “If there's something I feel is not necessary to treat, I make sure I let the patient know the why of not wanting to treat it.” “You have to stretch your mind and you have to work collaboratively.” LINKS: Dr. Paresh Shah's homepage - https://www.drpareshshah.com/ Dr Shah on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drpareshshah/ Mouthwatch is the official sponsor the Cariology Series this month.

This week Michelle and Andrew continue their 4-part cariology series, where they consult with the experts on how to properly diagnose, treat and prevent cavities that makes up so much of our profession. Returning for part two is Pam Maragliano-Muniz, Editor-in-Chief of Inside Dental Hygiene, the owner of Salem Dental Arts, and an experienced prosthodontist/hygienists. In this episode, Pam breaks down how she categorizes and treats patients by risk, discusses the importance of documenting each patient, and explains the counterintuitive impact sealants have on caries. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts: 8:07 - What signs to be on the lookout for when determining caries risk. - Why we need to encourage patients to take responsibility for any dental issues they may have. - The different kinds of relationships Pam forms with high-, moderate- and low-risk patients. - Why Pam recommends fluoride varnish for all of her patients and also thinks you should give its chlorhexidine counterpart a shot. - How patients can not only fail to notice xerostomia but unwittingly adapt to it as well. - Baking soda: the tried and true method for increasing oral pH. - Why clear, accessible documentation is key in tracking patient risk. - How the sealants we used to celebrate may have actually worsened some caries. QUOTES: “I can't express enough that we have to get patients to own their problems.” “Whatever is something that is doable for you—every single patient, every single appointment—I say just do it.” “If you are using arginine as part of your protocols and you're having amazing luck with, I say do it!” “If they're subconsciously drawn to beverages, snacks, foods, it's oftentimes the body seeking more salivary flow.” “At the end of the day if the patient says ‘no,' we really need to document that.” LINKS: Pam's email: senoritadiente100@gmail.com Pam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drpamela_maraglianomuniz/ Inside Dental Hygiene: https://idh.cdeworld.com/ IDH on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insidedentalhygiene/ Mouthwatch is the official sponsor the Cariology Series this month.

Interview starts minute 7:55 Cariology Series Part ONE Be sure to buckle up because the next few weeks of A Tale of Two Hygienists Podcast are going to be a rollercoaster of knowledge. This is the first episode in our new cariology series. Dental caries are among the most pervasive oral ailments and their treatment is core to dentistry and dental hygiene, so we've invited a few seasoned professionals who have insight into how they come to be and how we can best treat them. Our first guest in this series is Pam Maragliano-Muniz. Pam is the Editor-in-Chief of Inside Dental Hygiene, the owner of Salem Dental Arts, an experienced prosthodontist and a hygienist even before that. We also previously had on for Episode 92! Her years in the dental field have honed her insight into the natural and unnatural ways teeth break down. In this episode, Pam discusses the primary risk factors leading to dental caries, explains how hygienists themselves can cause lesions by accident, and breaks down saliva's important contribution to keeping gums, teeth and tongues in good shape. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts: - How exactly dental caries occur? What are the three major risk factors? - Why orthodontics and prosthodontics play a role in the proliferation of tooth decay. - The reason why patients with even partial dentures should make more frequent hygiene appointments. - Why hygienists should stock up on articulating paper for their offices. - How improperly contoured teeth can cause lesions in the long term. - Saliva's essential role in maintaining oral health and what happens when its effects are neutered. - Weed may be legal where you live, but it still impacts your oral health. - Exploring different categories of higher-risk patients. - Which tools are effective at clearly communicating tooth plaque to layperson patients. QUOTES: “If I don't really understand what's going on here, how am I seriously going to be able to help this patient prevent recurrence of disease?” “We really need to think about the environment in which these teeth live.” “Saliva really does it all!” “The role of the hygienist when it comes to preventing tooth decay is so important.” LINKS: Pam's email: senoritadiente100@gmail.com 8:54 Pam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drpamela_maraglianomuniz/ Inside Dental Hygiene: https://idh.cdeworld.com/ IDH on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insidedentalhygiene/ Mouthwatch is the official sponsor the Cariology Series this month.
