Description

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 348   HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak     DESCRIPTION Join Craig and Peter as they discuss rural practices in rural versus urban area and the challenges and advantages of practicing in rural markets. Also, a concerning trend in dentistry: the rise of non-dentist veneer technicians, or 'near-techs.' These individuals, with minimal training, are illegally placing veneers on patients using nail supplies and acrylic. Craig and Peter express their frustration with the lack of protection for the dental profession and the potential harm caused by these unqualified practitioners.   TAKEAWAYS Rural dentists are three times busier than dentists in urban areas, highlighting the demand for dental services in rural markets. The rise of non-dentist veneer technicians, or 'near-techs,' is a concerning trend in dentistry, as these individuals are illegally placing veneers on patients with minimal training. The dental profession needs better protection and advocacy to prevent the proliferation of unqualified practitioners and ensure patient safety. The commoditization of dental services and the race to the bottom on pricing can undermine the quality of care and patient outcomes. Dentists should be aware of these trends and actively advocate for the profession to maintain high standards and protect patient well-being.   CHAPTERS 00:00 - Introduction and Reflection on Progress 03:02 - The Busy Rural Dentist 13:25 - The Rise of Non-Dentist Veneer Technicians     REFERENCES Bulletproof Summit Bulletproof Dental Practice
