Dr. Rob Ritter joins Alan for another wide ranging conversation about Florida, technology, implementing new things in your practice and the future of CE. The pros and cons of being an "early adopter" The trouble with most continuing ed is the "how to" of implementing it in your office The evolution of "The Protocol" (Rob's continuing ed course) Instagram dentists I don't hate What to do/say when your patients can't afford the care you're offering Do you have to give your patients many options? (Rob says no) What does Rob say to dentists that will do a compromise treatment plan? What patients don't remember about compromise treatment plans "Evidence Based Dentistry" and how do we know what we know? (are we citing one article or are we really understanding the evidence?) All or nothing statements and "tribes." Rob on Instagram: "Take the picture the day it goes in because that's the best it's ever going to look." Post recalls. Nothing lasts forever...especially dentistry Al's "Raving Fans" moment at the Kois Center (it involves red licorice). Rob's was Star Wars Paying attention will pay dividends!
