50 YEARS OF WISDOM: Advice We'd Give Our Younger Dental School Selves

from Bulletproof Dental Practice

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 356 HOSTS Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this conversation, Peter and Craig discuss the advice they would give to themselves as dental school students or new dentists. They emphasize the importance of taking care of oneself, including getting regular massages, maintaining core fitness, and having a concierge doctor for personalized healthcare. They also discuss the value of regular testing, such as the GRAIL test for detecting microscopic cancers and the MTHFR test for methylation issues. They touch on the importance of posture and mental fitness for dentists, the need for effective communication skills, the value of focusing on one's strengths rather than weaknesses, and the significance of leadership in dental practices. They also mention the upcoming Bulletproof Summit and the possibility of having a representative from the Ritz-Carlton speak about customer service. TAKEAWAYS Take care of yourself and prioritize self-care, including getting regular massages and maintaining core fitness. Consider having a concierge doctor for personalized healthcare and attention. Regular testing, such as the GRAIL test and the MTHFR test, can provide valuable insights into your health. Practice good ergonomics to prevent back pain and other physical issues. Be aware of the potential health risks associated with mercury exposure in dentistry.  Maintaining good posture and mental fitness is crucial for dentists. Effective communication skills, including the ability to read body language and tailor conversations to individual patients, are essential. Rather than trying to improve weaknesses, dentists should focus on their strengths and surround themselves with a team that can compensate for their weaknesses. Leadership skills are vital for dental practice success, and dentists should continually work on developing their leadership abilities. The upcoming Bulletproof Summit will provide valuable learning opportunities for dentists, including a potential session on customer service by a representative from the Ritz-Carlton.
