In this episode I was able to hang out with Sean Hamel, the brain behind the Art of Dental Marketing. He believes strongly in personalized, emotionally engaging marketing and gave us lots of examples. He talked about using killer videos and photos to rock Google My Business and then shared super creative ways to get your practice noticed in your community. I still have a lot to learn about videos and self-promotion! Ready to level up your marketing? Let's dive in!

A few talking points:

• Humanizing dental practices through relatable experiences.

• Dental fear affects buying decisions, marketing crucial.

• Don't be afraid to express yourself in your community!

My friend Brant Herman joins me to talk about virtual clinical dentistry. It's not a stretch to call him a dental visionary. His Mouthwatch camera enabled low cost intraoral imaging at a time when documentation needs increased tremendously. It was a foray into teledentistry that led to our topic of virtual care solutions. Dentistry.one is helping dentists interact and treat patients who often can't make it into our offices. For all of you who want to help the underserved population but are reluctant to deal with state agencies, this is for you. I'm very hopeful about what Brant's doing and hope you become involved!

A few talking points:

• Virtual dentistry’s staying power

• COVID-19’s impact on his teledentistry company

• The future of dentistry - I love this topic!

In this episode, I interviewed Dr. Mike Barniv who has impressive street cred in the AI, carrier and clinical arenas. He’s currently the VP of Clinical Affairs at Pearl. Dr. Barniv shared AI’s role in treatment case acceptance. Hint - it helps tremendously! We had a frank talk about how the carriers are using AI in adjudication.

A few talking points:

• How does AI help dentists to efficiently examine historical images to chart disease progression

• Using AI to meet carrier documentation criteria

• Is AI just denying everything?

This is one for the insurance nerds (my people😎). Enjoy!
