Is Dentistry Screwed in the Future? (ft. Dr. Alan Mead)

👉 Want a better way to manage office checklists, accountability, and team follow-throughs? Join the Milo waitlist HERE We brought Alan Mead back on and decided to do something a little different… Instead of talking about what’s happening in dentistry right now, we tried to fast forward 20+ years and figure out what this profession actually looks like in 2050. After much deliberation we came to the conclusion that we are all f***** 😅 We got into: Whether dentistry is still even a “good” profession in the future If student debt is quietly changing how dentists diagnose and treatment plan What happens to DSOs as more and more pop up If hygiene as we know it even exists anymore AI running the business side of a practice (and maybe more) Why insurance might be the biggest thing holding everything back And whether we’d actually want our kids going into dentistry 🤝   Sponsor Support Big thanks to the companies that support the podcast: nadapayments If you’ve ever looked at your merchant statement and thought “what the hell am I actually paying?”… you’re not alone.
