8 Podcasts about the business of dentistry are becoming more popular among dentists. By listening to the experiences of their peers, dentists can learn how to run their practices more efficiently. Here are the podcasts to tune into.
Dentists spend a lot of time and money educating themselves about the clinical side of dentistry, but most do not spend enough time learning about the business side to help their practice run efficiently and grow steadily. Educating yourself about the business side of the practice is extremely important, and dental podcasts can help point you in the right direction when it comes to finances, dealing with insurance companies, marketing your dental practice, general business advice, and much more.
For those of you who may not know, a podcast is like a radio talk show on iTunes. People subscribe to their favorite podcasts, which are then delivered right to their phone or computer. There are thousands of podcasts available for different interests and industries. They’re catching on and becoming more popular with dentists. I’ve created a list of what I think are amazing podcasts that will help you take your practice to the next level.
The Thriving Dentist Show—I recently met Gary Takacs, the host of The Thriving Dentist Show. Gary has a great show filled with information that will help improve your practice and help you understand the business of dentistry. He also has a helpful course called “Breaking Free From The Shackles of Dental Insurance” that teaches dentists about in-house membership programs and how to reduce dependency of dental insurance. The Thriving Dentist Show is the number one podcast in dentistry with listeners in 150 countries. The mission of The Thriving Dentist Show is to help dentists build a great practice that provides personal, professional, and financial satisfaction. Subscribe to The Thriving Dentist Show.
The Navigating Dental Insurance podcast—The Navigating Dental Insurance podcast provides the tools and education dentists need to understand dental insurance and reduce their dependency on it. Its primary objective is to fight to protect the financial integrity of quality dentistry. Ben Tuinei and I are industry leaders in our respective areas. We both believe that the managing insurance shouldn’t be as difficult as it is for most practices. We invite those who practice insurance management day in and day out to share their knowledge and provide key solutions on how to tackle various insurance-related issues all practices see.
