• 1:50
  Speaker 3: going on? How's how's the dental hodgien business? Oh, you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: it's great. It's a summer, summertime in the dental field.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Just like many others, there's a lot out of going
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: and coming and Evan, Yeah, schedules.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Get a little bit wild and unpredictable at times for
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: patients and for our staff and for ourselves. So it's uh,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: this always keeping you on your toes.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Basically, it sounds like that we could almost be part
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: of the same business because the last four weeks solid
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: has been everybody out of shift, out of out of slot,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: in some way, shape or form, covering for vacationing people.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: So like this morning we have Ryan Nicholson is is
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: subbing for Anthony on the morning news and producing it,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: which means that Matt Murphy subbing for Ryan on midday.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's all it's all in a domino effect.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: We have our creative directors out. I'm covering for him
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: as I'm doing other jobs. Summer's always a fun time.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Industry voices on the air, you know, in different spots.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: You know that can happen as well. I'm sure here
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: is as in our offices. We have to have to
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: give a big shout out to Joanna that is our
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: operations manager. She's her phone's on. I don't know over
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: time right now because it just keeps blowing up with everybody,
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: you know, changing shifts and changing schedules to fill for
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: others in and out of in and out of town.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: So it's everyone's having a good summer, but it poses
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: some different challenges.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I know that we always could talk about continuing education,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: different types of emergent technologies, things like that on this
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: program as we try to keep folks appraised of the
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: different tools that are in the dentist toolbox and how
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: they can help out in different situation. And we have
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: some relatively new proces you'll have to explain. As far
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: as dentrists go, that's something we talk about a lot.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Of course, a lot of folks. Unfortunately in West Virginia,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: that's probably a situation we run into people with a
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: lot of dentures because of the general hygiene issues we've
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: had in the past in this area, but just in
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: general across the country. I mean, dentrists is a big issue.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: It's always an issue where people have problems with them
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: being amounted correctly, problems with them being loose or whatever.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: So any anything that we have that makes that maybe
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: a little bitter or for some people or all people,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: or however it might be, is always good news. So
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: we do have some news in bad asp in that area.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, And that's something that's very exciting that we've
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: started doing, just done a couple of cases here in
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: my office that is a new way to attach dentures
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: to implants and we talk about implants a lot on
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: the show, and hopefully our listeners are used to that
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: and used to that procedure. But something that is very
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: very new, I suppose, and I think life changing for
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: many patients that we've started doing is a way to
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: fix a denture, to snap a denture to implants and
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: then it does not come out again. So that's what
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: a lot of patients have been really looking for over
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: the years, and an affordable way to do it as well.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: So in the past, what we've had, we've had pretty
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: well two options. We can make you ventures that snap
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: to your implants, but then they come in and out,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: you take them in and out, and those little liners
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: we replace them over time. Or we can make you
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: a more robust type of a prosthesis. How can I
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: say that a little more simply, but some teeth that
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: are made out of hard material that glue and screw
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: to the implants, right, So that's that's something that that's
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: the that's the upper level of restoring a mouth that
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: is missing teeth, and that's something we've done for a
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: long time. But then in between has always been a
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: little bit hard. Either you have something that snaps in
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: and that the patient has to take in and out daily,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: or you have something that is locked onto the implants,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: but it is much more expensive because it's a lot
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: different material and a lot of different lab components to it,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: and a lot more cost involved. So now we've found
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: a bridge between those something between bridge. There's a good
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: a good little dental joke in the morning, so anyway,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: but we can find something in between that I'm calling
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: a hybrid snap on type of a denture. But what
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: we can do is take that denture and snap it
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: on and it does not come off until your dentist
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: takes it off for you to clean every six months.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: So it's so patients love that because they don't have
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: to fool with something coming in and out that they
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: can potentially drop and break and create different stresses on
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: that that denture with this constant moving taking in and out.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: It's something that they're comfortable with because they've gotten used
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: to this denture and we've made sure that it's comfortable
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: for them and it doesn't rub any sore spots, and
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: then we can snap that that sucker on and they
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: don't have to worry about it anymore and it stays
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: in so's it's pretty cool.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: This sounds really like you're getting a lot closer. I mean,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: we've been talking abou dentists for a long time on
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: this program, and this sounds like something we were getting
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: a lot closer to. I mean, really, when you talk
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: to patients and the complaints that folks have or whatever
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: they might be, this comes even closer to addressing those issues.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: It sounds like, So would you say that this is
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: a happy medium for that patient that doesn't want that
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: thing that comes in and out? But also what isn't
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: sure if they want to spend the money, Can they
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: maybe in the future go to that more permanent solution
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: and use those implants for that situation.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: That's a good question. Definitely they can. That's that's the
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: beauty of the different types of implant therapies that we
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: implement in our offices is that patients can start with,
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: you know, the basic version, and then they can upgrade
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: as they as they like. So some patients I have
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: have started with just you know, two implants and a
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: denture just to hold their denture in place. Well, I
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: want this thing to be a little tighter, so we
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: put in four implants, use that same denture and upgrade
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: it to a fore implant option and they say, well,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: I want something that stays in, and now we can
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: upgrade that same denture to a denture that stays in.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: And then if they say, well, I want something that
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: looks more natural, that doesn't have this venture kind of
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: pink acrylic on it, and something just like teeth that's
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: more slim line, then we can upgrade them to a
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: fixed dental bridge that stays in. So, yeah, we can
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: always upgrade throughout this process to the next level. But
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: this is a nice stepping stone in that direction or
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: a good final place for patient to be if that's
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: what they really like.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Hey, you just hear so much about dentures and problems
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: that it can cause either when folks are when talking
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: or eating or any number of those issues, and it
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: has to cause a little bit of a life quality
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: of life issue. You know, we're trying to hold discussions
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: or dinners that it could give you a little a
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: little hasn't see what those types of things or make
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: you self conscious, So it's very nice to adjust those
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: types of issues. That's got to be very very good
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: for patients.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's uh, this is for patients that may
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: be listening that have already some of these materials in
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: in in use in their mouth. These are called locator
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: attachments that are specific snaps that come out that attached
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: to the implant itself, a little stud sticking up from
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: the implant, and then there's a cup inside of the
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: denture that traditionally we can snap down onto it. And
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: then it's been made to be what they call a
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: resilient liner, meaning that it's it's a hard nylon material
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: inside of that cup that you use that that creates
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: a snap to those to that denture attaching it to
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: the implant. But then it's as it was in the past,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: been made to be removed. But now being able to
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: snap that on with a more fixed liner, we can
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: easily what we call convert that denture to a fixed
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: denture that that many patients are wanting, because a lot
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: of the patients that come in they say, well, I
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: can't really swing financially to get up to that fixed
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: bridge option. That's, you know, the Cadillac version of giving
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: your teeth back. But I don't want something that's constantly
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: coming in and out of my mouth. So it's a
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: it's a great it's a great intermediary between the two,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: you know, and the patients are really enjoying that.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: It's really nice to have that that additional option on
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: there because that's something that hasn't been if able to
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: this point. And it sounds like within that you can
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: kind of upgrade as you're going along as well. So
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: if you have the opportunity, can that even be a
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: little later dot down the line, like for example, over
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: the course of a year you have work done, the
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: next year comes up, if if if you want to
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: have one of these upgrades done, could that work? Then
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: thinking about how dental insurance works and if you if
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: you're able to tap into something along those lines when
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: a calendar year to get an upgrader something I don't know, No, no, yeah,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I know that's complicated.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Insurance gets tricky. But the answer is yes, yeah you can.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: You can delay that and this is a great way
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: to step towards those process those those different procedures too.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: In fact, for who this is perfect for is a
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: patient that has had already a snap on denture or
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: even a routine denture and they've gotten used to it,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: gotten the sore spots worked out. That's the issue too,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: is because we're snapping this thing on and you're not
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: gonna be able to get it out, so we want
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: to be super comfortable for you. And that's the way
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: that we we work it is that we do a
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: gradual process to make sure that the patient's very comfortable
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: with that existing denture. And it could take some time,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: so it could take over, you know, six months or
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: so if we really needed it to, and waiting a
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: little bit longer doesn't necessarily isn't necessarily a bad thing
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: in that situation, especially if you're trying to get some
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: help from your insurance.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's one of the things that I've discovered
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: the course of doing this show and having conversations with
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: with you and doctor Carson, is that when it comes
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: to dentriers or anything like that, really coming in to
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: be seen and being evaluated and figuring out what your
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: options want to be and maybe what you need to
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: do to get to the point where you need to
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: be whatever that is, that's really your first step. You
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: won't know anything until you get information behind it, and
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: don't make assumptions, because I think a lot of people
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: make assumptions on what they can and can't do, and
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: how much something does or doesn't cost, and it's probably
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: good to get an evaluation first before you assume those
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: things for sure.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: And that's it's you know, it's a gradual process many times,
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: and that's where we need to have a you know,
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: a realistic outlook, you know, for how quickly things can
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: be done. And we want things to be done correctly
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: and properly. So many times it's it takes a little
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: bit of time, you know, and we got to plan
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: things out appropriately. We can move quickly when we need
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: to move quickly, but to ensure that patients are as
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: comfortable as we want them to be, sometimes it takes
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: a little longer.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: You give us a call this morning if you have
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: any questions about maybe a dentrier situation you have, for
• 12:58

  Speaker 5: doctor Seinan Greeb as the gold standard of just the
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: best care possible. We're like, we can never get to
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: a standard.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Thirty five years or however long that's right.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: And so he just comes in and just whips out
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: these teeth.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: He's just so quick.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: And so good at doing it and so caring. So
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: he is definitely the guy that we look to and
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: we're thankful for starting Greediental Group and kind of being
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: that being that person that we can hopefully imitate one day,
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: hopefully I will.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Well, I know you guys have always been outreach has
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: always been a major party of your mission. And so
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: I know that that the patriarch, doctor Grieve has probably
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: taken a lot of pride and helping out with the community.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: And you guys have done these different programs. I mean
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: every program that I know of that comes through telling
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: you guys participated in some way, shape or form that
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: gives back to the community to help people out that
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: are in a little lesser situation. So I mean that's
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: a that's a great that's a great thing.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Well, he's definitely set the He's definitely set the standard
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: for us and led by example in that way and
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: has always been very thankful for or you know, what
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: his career has given him and his family as well
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: as a state in community. So he's always very excited
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: to give back in any way that he can and
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: has passed that on to all of us, so thankfully
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: all of our doctors have taken that mantle, and as
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: doctor Henley was referencing at Health Right, they tell us consistently,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: if it wasn't for Greed Dental Group, we wouldn't have
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: been able to care for all these patients at health Right,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: and we're very proud to help with that.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: It's great information and I always enjoy talking about those
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: things as well, your community outreach as well as continuing education.

• 17:13
  Speaker 3: a break and be back right after this. You're listening
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: to ask the expert w c HS the voice of
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Charleston as promised, I have a little different music.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: For for expert. Now. That was so upbeat. I loved it.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Well, I tried I try to make it more update
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: upbeat because uh, and I'll explained this the other morning.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: But for years we were in a studio where we
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: didn't have a real time monitor, so you know, we
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: were going off of visual cues. So I was watching
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: the station, but I couldn't really hear it, So you know,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: we were going off of visual cues with it's I mean.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: It's funny you couldn't hear it. It's a right, there's.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: A it's it's like I could I could hear the face.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: For radio, I can hear as much as I need.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: It's a radio is all voice and timming. If if
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: one doesn't work, the other will so But anyway, that
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: was the way things worked for a long time. Since
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: we moved to the new studio, of course, we have
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: were fully functional once again, and so we can hear
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: like all everything that goes on while we're while we're talking.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: And what I quickly found out is I was really
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: tired of our expert music, so I had to change it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: It's strange because we've heard that for what like ten years.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Well, well, people that have listened to the podcast have
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: heard it, and people have listened to it on radio
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: have heard it, but we haven't heard it because we
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: were we were in the studio where we were locked
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: into just the programming audio. Yeah, so anyway, I made
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: a change on that. So it's a little bit, a
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: little bit more modern, a little bit more upbeat, you know,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: not quite as.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Just a talk show host.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Now you're this job, you know, I mean, I do
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I do all I do most of the production on
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: the station. Yeah. Well, it's funny how I knew this
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: or what coincidence this is. But had a bunch of
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: tapes from when I was recorded with cassette, when from
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: when I was like ten or eleven, when I would
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: record songs off of the radio. Of course, like everybody
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: did on boomboxes back in the day. But also I
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: would uh, I would jock in between songs, so it
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: was on w c op w coop and uh and
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: so yeah, I would do like my own little countdown
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: and stuff. There was all kinds of tapes of stuff
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: like that, and me doing that, me doing play by
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: play of video games, like with sports video games, doing
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: play by play and so I did all kinds of
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: stuff like that as a kid. So this was the
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: industry you always I guess I was supposed to be.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: I should have been playing doctor as all I was
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: a kid. More Southern radio guy. I think like chemical
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: engineer may have been a great thing to play around
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: with when I was a kid, more Southern radio. If
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: if a paycheck was the termination. But we have a
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: lot of stuff to talk. You've been teasing, and I
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: just heard like a zillion different things at once about Montreal,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: and we're going to talk a little bit about We're
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: want to talk a little bit about uh So I'm
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: assuming this had something to do with with with teeth. Oh, well,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: it did, of course. Okay.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: I usually frame my vacation around going on a dental
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: trip because that's I go on so many dental trips.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: Bringing the family just makes sense and we can kind
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: of make a little mini vacation out of it.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: So I went to Montreal.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Doctor Massey and his wife, Doctor Cindy Greeb went, Doctor
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: Mintry and his wife Heather, and doctor Sammy Greeb and
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: his wife, Miss Kay went. So there was four of
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: us that went from Greed Dental Group, which was really neat,
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: and we actually got to have dinner a couple nights
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: and the things that we learned were just so neat
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: because when you go to these meetings. By the way,
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: the meaning we went to was the Academy of Jeneral
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Dentistry the Aged Scientific Session, which was in Montreal, which
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: I had never been to Canada, nor much less Montreal,
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: so it was a really cool experience. But what's so
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: cool about these meetings is there's so many hands on courses.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: So there's two types of courses, and there's probably more,
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: but mainly there's two types of courses. When you go
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: to these big meetings. There's lecture where you just sit
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: there and listen, and then you can apply it over
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: time and you can bring it back to your staff
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: or your staff can join and listen to that lecture,
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: but then there's participation or hands on, which I feel
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: gets a little little more in depth because you're literally
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: sitting there using your hands, listening on a new technique
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: or at least being constructed on a new technique or
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: an old technique that you need more use with. And
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: then you come out of that with just so many
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: skills that you didn't even know you needed or you
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: could have had. For example, I went through six hours
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: of indodontics, which is root canal's and I know how
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: to do root canal. I'm pretty good at them, but
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: I'm not perfect at them. No one is, and so
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: we're always trying to do a better job, always trying
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: to get that new technique that's going to make our
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: patients healthier and better and have a better prognosis long term.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: So these hands on techniques that you learn are just
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: so important. Another course that I took with something called
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: occlusion or biting and kind of working on how to
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: diagnose spite issues when it comes to your tempore mandibular
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: joint with TMD to pro mandipular disorder. A little caveat
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: when patients say I have TMGM, like me too anyway.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: So TMJ is the joint, but TMD is the disorder.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Just a little fun back there. So trying to diagnose
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: and help people out there is really cool and really neat,
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: and that's really probably the most complex thing you can
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: do in dentistri is dealing.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: With jaw issues.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: But that was really cool that I got to bring
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: my family real quickly something that they noticed. My wife
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: was at lunch with my children as I was at a.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: I was at a course.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: They were eating at the restaurant in our hotel by
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: a window, and all of a sudden, some cop cars
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: come by, and then after the cop cars come what
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: my wife assumed were shirtless men on bicycles, and then
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: as they turned the corner, they weren't just shirtless, they
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: weren't wearing much of anything.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Bicycle yes, on bicycles, any special seats because that doesn't
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: feel great, and so.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Apparently it was World Naked Bicycle Day or so. I
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: don't even know, but my seven year old was just like.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: It was the craziest thing she's experienced in her life.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: And so you go to watch your all and you
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: see things you didn't expect. But certainly that was the
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: highlight of their experience. My experience was more CEU oriented.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: My daughter would my daughter would also find that she's
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: seven to she would find that the funniest thing she's
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: ever seen. Yeah, but in my adult mind, I really
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: can't imagine how that's comfortable for anyone to not that
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: that's what we're talking about, but uh, comfort somehow it
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: can't be. It can't be comfortable. There's just a lot
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: of sliding around. Is that healthy? But but and uh,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: and in all seriousness and talking about traveling to Canada
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: and going through another seminar with continuing education, I mean
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: that really just it's part of the whole of what
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: you do anyway. I mean, you're always looking for better,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: better avenues, better ways to do things, more efficient ways.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Ultimately efficiency can lead to cost reductions, you know. I mean,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: all of these things kind of one plays into another
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: to another. And uh, and the stuff that's going on
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: and what you guys do is actually pretty exciting. I
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: mean there seems to be certainly during the course where
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: we been doing this show, it seems like every couple
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: times a year, you guys come on and talk about
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: something that's relatively new that's coming up. That's really cool
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: that you can do in your offices. And this industry
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: seems to be really finding ways to help patients a
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: lot to bridge some of these gaps. There's puns everywhere
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: this morning, but to bridge some of these gaps when
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: it comes to when it comes to dental hygiene, dental care,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: because some of the stuff can be you know, can
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: start getting a little bit expensive. But through the care
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: of a dental office that will work with you a
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: little bit, and your insurance and also these emerging technologies
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: and things like that, more and more people have access
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: to get some level of help to make it more comfortable.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Absolutely sure, And I love what Carson was saying that
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: he went and he says, hey, yeah, I've done you know,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: hundreds of root canals. I'm good at it. But I
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: was still taking this course to learn how to be better.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: And that's the key for these continuing educations courses we
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: go to we don't we go there. We do learn
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: about new techniques, the latest and greatest, but we also
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: what we call hone our skills and improve upon things
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: we may already do. But we always want to come
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: back with what we call a pearl, some one or
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: two pearls from you know, a week long event is
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: worth it for us to better care for our patients,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: to make the work that we do more successful, more efficient,
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: and also to learn how to run our offices in
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: many other ways, not just not just learning the skills.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: So it's it's also worth noting that doctor Henley and
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: was at the Academy of General Dentistry meeting and he
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: is a trustee of the Academy of General Dentistry, which
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: is you know that one of the highest levels of
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: leadership in that academy. Doctor Greeb has has done that
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: in the past as well, So we're very proud of
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: our West Virginia representation there and being national leaders that
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: they are in such a in such a prestigious academy.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Really it's worth noting too.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: And so what I got for that was I had
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: I got to be a marshal during the convocation and
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: direct traffic to four hundred new fellows and masters in
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: LLSA in the convocation ceremony. Just standing there and pointing
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: it was the most fun four hours of my life. No,
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: it really was an honor. But you know, sometimes being
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: a leader, you kind of get to do stuff that
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: you know is it is what it is?
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Sometimes what has to be done has to
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: be done. It's not always the most fun thing.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: So when I got my fellowship, I think it was
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: just four years ago, twenty twenty one in Austin, Texas,
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: at the scientific session, we covered that. Yeah, yeah, so
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: I was honored whenever that happened because doctor Sammy, well,
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: doctor Bruce Cassis was the current AGD president from West
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Virginia in at the scientific session in Texas, and then
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: doctor Sammy Greb and doctor Stephen Greb were marshalls for
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: that convocation just kind of what I just did, and
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: so it was really neat was I was the last
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: fellow to cross the stage and get my fellowship pin
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: in my and I think they kind of put a
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: pin over you. It's like attached to a ribbon and
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: the spin is something that you put on your jacket
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: and things like that. Well, then all of a sudden,
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: doctor sam and doctor Stephen ran on stage with me
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: and we took a photo with Bruce and it was
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: four of us taking a photo. I think I was
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: the only one that had four people in the photo.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: Everyone's like, who is this guy? How does he get
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: to do it. Well if you if you're from West Virginia,
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: you know, you get to do cool things. It's just
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: kind of cool bringing that full circle. Yeah, that is
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: very neat, and I like the fact that we covered that.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: When I remember telling the story, I can't believe it
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: was four years ago. I'm sure that you have that
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: same disconnect, but I can't believe that was four years ago.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: But yeah, this is the academy there they that is
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: based and founded upon high quality continuing education and UH.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: And then it's it is an honor to UH to
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: for so many of us to have been leaders in
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: that academy is the second largest UH dental organization in
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: the United States, if not the world. So so we're
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: we're happy to be involved and honored to help lead.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: I always enjoyed doing these programs. Let me get the
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: information out again. We're starting to wrap up the show.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: We have a couple of minutes left here this morning.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: I want to make sure that you have all the info.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: We covered a lot of things here this morning, and
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: I know that can get a little bit dense, especially
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: if you have questions about your dental hygiene. And I
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: understand a lot of these things are not conducive to
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: making phone calls on the radio, So you're more than
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: welcome to give the GREEB Dental Group a call. And
• 28:08

• 29:03
  Speaker 3: and all of that good stuff. And it's it's just
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: important for UH, for folks to understand as regardless of
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: where they are in their dental hygiene journey. Maybe they've
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: been away from a doctor for a long time or
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: haven't seen one a lot, they have some issues that
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: they've been a little nervous to get addressed, or they're embarrassed,
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: whatever the situation may be. Your first step to getting better,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: to not feeling embarrassed anymore, to feeling better about your teeth,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: you got to go see somebody. You got to go
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: get evaluated. And it's probably not as bad as you think.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Everybody has these these traditional images in their head. We
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: talked about root canals and stuff all the time. It's
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: not as bad as you think, you know, and go
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: in and get evaluated, and I think you would be
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: amazed at how much better you would feel on the
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: back end of those things, Because if you go through
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: life uncomfortable with your smile, with your with your teeth,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: with gaps here, whatever it might be, that's a that's
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: a quality of life's issue issue, and you can address that.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: There are things that can be done. You have a
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: lot of tools in your toolbox for sure. And I mean,
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: come in have a conversation with us. Just spoke to
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: a patient yesterday that came in and was just very embarrassed,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: so I really don't want don't want you touching anything,
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: you know, and was nervous, and I said, that's fine.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: We're just going to take a brief look today. That's
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: all we're going to do. Take a look around. We'll
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: have a discussion with you. Sat down and talked with
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: her for a very long time, hearing her concerns, and
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: then we created a game plan and she left very
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: comfortable in the path we're going to take and excited
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: to get it done and like you say, to improve
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: her quality of life that you know, I wasn't able
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: to eat what she wanted, having digestive issues also confidence
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: and of course presentation to others and smiling. So we
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: want to we're here to take care of those issues
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: and do them comfortably for it.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: And have that kind of conversation and to take that step.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: It is a huge step for a lot of a
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: lot of different people and to put them in ease
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: in doing that. But it really is something that you
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: can get addressed. If it's something that you don't feel
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: feel great about. Now, all you gotta do is ask
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: a couple questions and see where you can get and
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: and you might find yourself in a better situation relatively
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: soon down the line.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, yeah, we're happy to do it.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: And I think it does help. Whenever you walk in
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: you always see a smiling face. Yes, I get told
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: that all the time that I like you, doctor, but
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: I love your staff, and I'm well, yes, because obviously
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: my staff are amazing, right, yeah, and I thank you
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: for liking me. But truly without my staff, without doctor
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Stevens staff, or any of our staff and our six locations,
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: we could not do what we'd do. And we're so
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: thankful that we get to work with such lovely men
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: and women that make our patients feel comfortable and feel
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: confident that they're going to be taken care of.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: One of the things that happens to me on a
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: much lower scale in my job is I'll have people
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: that come in and this week is a great example,
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: since I'm covering for our creative director who's out this week.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Folks will come in and it's not typically on the radio,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: and they own a small business or something, and they
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: want to cut their own commercial or a piece in
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: their own commercial, and so they'll record a line or
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: a couple of lines or several lines on a thirty
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: second commercial. They'll listen back to it and they're really
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: embarrassed about how they sound. They shouldn't be number one,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: because everybody doesn't like the sound of their own voice
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: the first time to hear it. And sometimes they're embarrassed
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: because the guy that does radio, if we're a living
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: is in the room for him, and it's like, oh
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: my goodness, so what do you think it's I've heard
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: it all. It doesn't matter. I mean, we've all been
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: on that journey. And some people complain about how I talk.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: It's not you know, it's not anything that's a big
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: deal to us as a professional on the radio end
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: of things. For Dennis, for people that are embarrassed about
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: what might be going on in their mouth, it's not
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: like you haven't seen it. You've seen it all. There's
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: nothing that you can really be shocked a boy at
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: this point. So if you have one of those barriers
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: where you're like, man, I'm going to go in and
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I'm going to open up my mouth to the doctor
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: and they're.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Like, oh, hold on, it's calling the experts. We have
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: no idea.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: What's that's not going to happen to you. That's not
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: going to happen. They've seen it all. So if that's
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: one of your barriers, don't worry about that.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: That's right. That's a great point, and very happy to
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: put those patients at ease because they do come in
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: very embarrassed and saying things like that, I'll you know,
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen anything this bad or you know, I
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: hate to even show you, like, well, this is what
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: we do. This is our job, and it's like you're
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: comparing it to you know, this is what I do,
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: listening to to these voices all day and you can't
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: surprise me with anything. Yeah, we were very very wide
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: varied experience on you know, seeing many things in the
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: mouth that that we're happy to figure out the path forward.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: That's the thing that we're trying to do to get
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: them to that end goal of being comfortable and confident
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: in their smile and and the way that they function
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: because now we're seeing more digestive issues too. It's it's
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: very fascinating that we're we're joining with the medical community,
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: uh in many ways where they're referring patients to us
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: to say, you know, this patient's having a lot of
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: you know, intestinal issues that we need to we need
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: to get them chewing their food better. And and that's
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: that's one small element too.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: There's a there's another show that I listened to. It's
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: a science based show. It's hosted by several different people,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: but I think about you guys every time that I
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: listen to the show, or very frequently, because one of
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: the co hosts on the show is obsessed with their
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: teeth and and they talk and they relate a lot
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: of medical science based stuff that they cover, like just
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: in general talking about science science based news stories and
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, but he always ties it back into it.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: The time that I discovered that the whole my whole
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: body health is related to my teeth was the big
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: moment of my wife. And so this guy talks so
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: much about how his teeth health is drives the rest
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: of his health and how it's give him on this
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: healthy journey. That's okay, we've talked about on this program before.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Those things do all work in concert together.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Doctor Oz had that big epiphany as well when he
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: was going through all of the different ways to improve
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: improve your health, and it was the one thing that
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: would make him live a little longer statistically that he
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: didn't do his floss every day, so he started doing that.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: I think was doctor Sanjay Gupt on CNN some similar
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: type of thing. So it's it definitely affects everything.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Doctor Stephen, appreciate your time this week. Thank you so much.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Doctor Carson you as well, Thank you so much. See
• 34:52
