Al is joined by long time listener favorites Dr. Frank Clayton and Dr. Melissa Zettler for a talk about regrets. Between the three of them they've had 72+ years of experiences of dentists and practice owners. Al asks the question: what do you wish you had done better? What regrets do you have? And man did this Group Function come through! Start saving EARLY! (no, even earlier) Avoid buying stuff on payments Use your student loan money wisely Buy used cars Not letting employees go sooner Take more time off...being away from the office is NOT the same as "losing money." Not even close. Take CE, but don't be in a rush. Choose CE early that can pay off over a longer career. Get to a point where you don't care if the patient follows through with care. Lay the patient back far enough. The patient is only there for an hour. You're there ever day. Orthodontics is a great choice for a lot more patients than dental school ever taught you. Make connections with honest colleagues...find people to give honest feedback Go join the Very Dental Facebook group (use password: Timmerman) to talk with the group about this episode or anything else!
