Ep. 704 - Infection Control and Employee Whistleblowing
In today’s episode, we’ll discuss a scenario that every dental practice owner dreads—a disgruntled employee reporting infection control violations to the Department of Health. We’ll explore a real-life case that highlights just how devastating such a report can be, leading to potential fines, damaged reputation, loss of patient trust and even the shutting down of the practice. What can we do to prevent this? Joining us today to shed light on this topic is Dr. Karson Carpenter, a dentist and expert consultant on infection control and OSHA compliance in the dental setting. Dr. Carpenter is the founder and CEO of Compliance Training Partners, a company dedicated to helping dental practices stay compliant and navigate investigations related to infection control violations.

Ep. 703 - The Right Fit: Delivery Systems and Ergonomics in Dentistry
In a field where precision and stamina are paramount, poor ergonomics can lead to chronic pain, fatigue, and long-term health issues. But it doesn't have to be this way. By understanding and implementing ergonomic practices, and choosing the right kind of operatory delivery systems and equipment, we can transform our work environment into a space that supports our bodies as much as our skills. To tell us more about it is our guest, Katrina Klein. Katrina is a registered dental hygienist for 16 years, national speaker, author, competitive bodybuilder and certified personal trainer. She’s the founder of ErgoFitLife, where ergonomics and fitness are a lifestyle to prevent, reduce or eliminate pain.

Ep. 700 - Finding and Retaining Your Ideal Dental Office Manager
It’s not uncommon for those of us who are looking to hire a new office manager to have some questions. For instance, how do you find this person? What should you pay them?

This episode addresses these questions and more so stay tuned!
