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.

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.

An Interview with a Medicaid Chief Dental Officer (Dentaquest)

Q: Could you kind of explain what managed care is in the Medicaid context?

Managed care is a model where the state funds a program and contracts with a managed care organization to handle access, quality, and utilization. It can involve straight fee-for-service, an ASO back-office arrangement, or full-risk managed care where the MCO is responsible for the program's costs and operations, with metrics and constraints to ensure access and cost control.

Crushing a New Practice at Year 2, with Dr. Milca Ceballos

Q: Okay, so maybe we start with, give me a brief snippet where you did residency at and then did you associate versus did you know you're going to be an owner right off the bat?

She explains she matched at St. Christopher's after dental school, initially had no desire to open an office, and gradually shifted to entrepreneurship after experiencing a less happy stint in a DSO, which catalyzed her startup aspirations.

15 Associateships in 11 Years, the Super Associate Episode

Q: Tell me about where you're from, where you did residency when you graduated, became a pediatric dentist.

She describes growing up in Milwaukee, attending University of Wisconsin–Madison, then University of the Pacific for dental school, followed by NYU for pediatric residency, and notes she has since practiced in private settings with a mix of DSOs and private owner environments.
