The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan LaskinCost Is Just an Excuse in DentistryDentistry is notorious for being expensive, but it’s a totally unjustified reputation. So why do patients perceive dentistry as costly, especially when they are quick to shell out even more money on less important things? I’ve touched on this topic in the past, but it’s time to explore in depth the real reasons patients balk at the cost of their dental care. In this episode of The Patient First Podcast, I explain why cost is just an excuse for avoiding a trip to the dentist. I also share what dentists can do...2023-07-1711 min

The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan LaskinWhat Does It Really Mean to Put Patients First?Some dental professionals believe that giving patients increased access to their own dental health data would be dangerous. But in reality, doing so is an integral part of patient-partnered dentistry. But what exactly does patient-partnered care mean? Why is it so important? How is it different from developing a co-diagnosis with the patient? And why is improving access to data vital to patient-first dentistry? Learn the answers in this episode of The Patient First Podcast. I’m Dr. Bryan Laskin, an author, entrepreneur and dentist who believes a patient-partnered approach is the key to...2023-06-2612 min

The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan LaskinWhat XQ Is and What It Means for DentistryYou’ve already heard about Intelligence Quotient (IQ). Emotional Quotient (EQ) is also receiving lots of attention these days. But have you ever heard about XQ? “XQ” stands for Experience Quotient and it can be defined as the measure of an individual’s collective experiences that gives them a unique perception of or insight into something. I'm Dr. Bryan Laskin, author, entrepreneur, dentist and innovator in pursuit of better dentistry for all. In this episode of The Patient First Podcast, I contrast the XQ of care providers with that of patients in dentistry. I also explain...2023-06-2011 min

The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan LaskinHow Culture Will Help You Build the Perfect Dental TeamWorkplace “culture” isn’t a fluffy corporate buzzword that’s code for office parties—it’s the very lifeblood of productive dental practices. Despite all the talk about “culture,” few people understand what it really is. This is unfortunate for dentistry, where culture is the secret to building strong teams and productive practices, especially now that most dentists are dealing with a staffing crisis. In this episode of The Patient First Podcast, you’ll learn exactly what “culture” means in the context of a dental practice and what it takes to create a strong culture that keeps the busines...2023-06-0612 min

The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan LaskinWhat Is True Medical-Dental Integration?You would think that any progress made in the area of medical-dental integration would be a step forward. But why does it seem like the first step is a futile, bottom-up approach? Anything that improves access to care for patients is a very welcome development. If it doesn’t promote true medical-dental integration, however, then that very development could lead to even more confusion over where one healthcare professional’s responsibilities end and another’s begins. In this episode of The Patient First Podcast, I discuss a recent development in the medical field that promises to imp...2023-05-3009 min

The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan LaskinWhy a Dentist Was Fined $80,000 for Doing NothingDentists have enough to worry about as it is with the ever-present fear of a malpractice lawsuit hanging over their heads. One wrong move, and they can say ‘goodbye’ to their dream of running a profitable practice. The bad news is that, as three dental practices recently experienced, dentists now have to worry about what could happen if they DON’T take a certain action. That action? Releasing complete dental records to patients in a timely manner. The even worse news is that most dentists couldn’t do this even if they wanted to, and...2023-05-2215 min

The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan LaskinThe Question Everyone in Dentistry Should Be AskingThe CEO of a successful DSO visited me at Toothapps headquarters and asked an intriguing question that, really, everyone in dentistry needs to be asking. Dentistry is experiencing a revolution in response to some major problems in the industry, particularly when it comes to the open sharing of dental patient data. With sprawling networks of dozens or hundreds of practices to manage, DSOs are definitely feeling hindered by outdated and incompatible practice management systems, and so they are logically on the front lines of those seeking solutions. In this episode of The Patient First Podcast...2023-05-0912 min

The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan LaskinJust How Bad Is the AGGA Issue? Even if, like me, you had never heard of “AGGA” before, the recent bad press surrounding this orthodontic appliance has been hard to ignore. The Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance (AGGA) has been flying below the radar for quite a few years, unknown to even many dentists, until recent lawsuits cast a spotlight on the device, raising questions on FDA-regulation in dentistry. As I explain in this episode of The Patient First Podcast, there is simply not enough information to make a solid judgment call on the efficacy and safety of AGGA. But the current controversy serv...2023-05-0209 min

Artificial intelligence (A.I.), generative artificial intelligence in particular, is here to stay, and it holds immense potential for the dental industry. There are upsides and downsides to A.I. technology, of course, but there are compelling reasons dentists should start incorporating A.I. even in small ways right now. In this episode of The Patient First Podcast, I explain what dentists need to know to get up-to-speed on...2023-04-1110 min

The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan LaskinIgnoring This Could Cost Dentists $1 MillionDid you know that your patients' health information is being held hostage in a data prison? The conversation about Practice Management Systems (PMS) in dentistry has gotten stale. What's worse, most dentists today aren't aware that PMS systems that don't comply with recent legislation could leave dentists vulnerable to fines of up to $1 million. In this episode of The Patient First Podcast, I explain why it's high time we change the conversation about storing dental patient data. I'm also excited to share what Toothapps is doing to address the data hostage situation. I'm...2023-04-0412 min

The problem? Virtually no one knows about it. I recently attended an event called “Datapalooza” where I gleaned a ton of compelling insights about the transfer of patient health data. This might sound like some nerdy and insignificant matter.

The Patient First Podcast with Dr. Bryan LaskinThe Connection Between the Fear of CBCT and the Love of EBITDAWhy do so many dentists hesitate to invest in CBCT imaging? There's a fascinating connection between the dental industry's obsession with profitability and dentists' reluctance to adopt technology like CBCT scanners. I uncover that connection in this episode of The Patient First Podcast.
