  • Tragic disinformation show.

    Just listened to the interview with Johnny Johnson, out of Florida and tragic to hear this podcast going against the science in the peer reviewed published studies that show that fluoride does indeed lower the IQ of children. And how grateful I am to I’ve just interviewed our surgeon general’s wife , here in Florida, also a Harvard graduate as is he. Thankfully, Dr. Joe Ladapo has been in headline news, sharing the updated and not antiquated science like this show about the dangers of fluoride... more

  • Good but could be better

    While I think Dr. Goetz has a lot of great information about pediatric dentistry, I don't necessarily agree with promoting a meat-based diet for children. As we learn more about heart disease, perhaps as clinicians we should be focusing more on plant-based diets.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The State of Pediatric Dentistry, with Dr. Marc Adelberg
Q: What advice would you give to aspiring pediatric dentists about growth and location strategy?
Define your mission and core values first, plan a long-term vision, avoid cross-lane mergers that dilute service quality, and hire to build a culture aligned with your North Star, rather than chasing rapid expansion for its own sake.
The State of Pediatric Dentistry, with Dr. Marc Adelberg
Q: How does Medicaid and insurance influence practice strategy today?
Medicaid and insurance levels shape whether a practice pursues fee-for-service versus more insured-driven models, with higher rates potentially inviting DSOs but enabling access, while lower rates push the need to focus on efficiency, patient education, and targeted marketing.
The State of Pediatric Dentistry, with Dr. Marc Adelberg
Q: What were the biggest challenges when first starting private practice in New York?
Key struggles included misaligned group ownership terms, the difficulty of managing early partnerships, and learning to hire for shared vision rather than just skill, which later led to the decision to go solo and build a scalable model.
An Interview with a Medicaid Chief Dental Officer (Dentaquest)
Q: How does this system affect real dentists in practice, especially in rural areas?
Dentists can request adjustments based on local conditions; the provider partner analyzes the case, uses past claims as a baseline, and attempts to meet the request or offer a feasible alternative. The overarching goal is to maintain access for children while ensuring the program remains financially viable for the entire state.
An Interview with a Medicaid Chief Dental Officer (Dentaquest)
Q: What happens during fee negotiations when a dentist asks for higher rates?
The process involves provider partners analyzing the requested codes, a senior manager in the area creating a grid, evaluating the impact on overall state budgets, and potentially offering a compromise. The aim is to keep the provider in-network while ensuring there is enough money to cover all patients and services; if an agreement can't be reached, the decision may be escalated to a financial committee with a likely outcome that may be gradual increases or alternative concessions.
