Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

058 Recruiting Hygienists with a $0 Budget
Q: Where do you place your recruitment ads and how do you keep them fresh?
We continuously post across Facebook groups, Indeed (free version), and other local platforms, rotating the channels and refreshing the copy so it doesn't feel stale, and we avoid relying on a single channel.
058 Recruiting Hygienists with a $0 Budget
Q: What is the PPP framework and why is it effective for recruiting hygienists?
Pain identifies what candidates dislike about their current jobs, Paradise paints the positive outcomes and culture of joining the new office, and Process sets clear standards, training, and accountability to sustain high performance.
047 120 New Patients in a Rural Market
Q: How did you deal with transitioning from Medicaid to a mixed model and growing the practice in a small town?
The shift was gradual and pragmatic: keep the revenue as you transition, use patient financing to lower barriers, and expand services to include high-value, attainable procedures that patients actually want. Pre-qualifying patients for financing helped keep doors open while building the capability to perform more complex, cash-involved treatments in a single visit.
032 3 Reasons Your Collections Plateau After Buying a Practice
Q: What does your plan look like to reach the next level in your practice?
Patrick should narrow his focus to the clinical side, improve surgical skills, and then gradually add associates; also, implement monthly financing to increase case acceptance and stabilize revenue.
027 Build a $20k Dental Op
Q: What advice do you have for someone adding more operatories?
Reach out to others for their experiences, and consider alternatives for equipment providers.
