Dental Economics is a magazine that no doubt all of our listeners have seen and many read on the regular. Alan is joined by immediate past editor, Dr. Chris Salierno and newly installed editor Dr. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz (past editor of DentistryIQ.com) to talk about a wide variety of topics! Chris's new gig is Chief Dental Officer with Tend! Chris's new uniform? Pam is the new editor of Dental Economics...she was perfectly placed to fill Chris's shoes! As past editor of dentistryiq.com, she was the perfect pick! The role of "curating" content for readers/followers. Helping to decide what's important to get out there is a really important role and Pam has GREAT TASTE! Pam's cat wall paper is literally all I need to know. Pam is a hygienist, dentist/prosthodontist. She chose her school because she wanted to play hockey. Al goes off on a wild tangent about how poorly dentists do prevention in dentistry (NOT hygienists) How do people make healthy changes? How can we push people into healthy choices? GC caries risk/prevention products Saliva Check by GC Preventive practices get referrals for being preventive practices! Why don't we have the little room where we watch/show patients how to take care of their teeth? Al's fanatic relationship with the Waterpik Sonic Fusion 2.0 Oral-B test drive program, Philips Sonicare test drive program How are dental meetings feeling in our apparently "post-COVID" world?
