The Dental Practice Fixers
How does a dental practice know if they have a true periodontal therapy program or if they are just a “prophy palace?” In this episode, The Dental Practice Fixers, Dr. Richard Madow and Dr. David Madow discuss ways to provide better patient treatment AND boost revenue by correctly diagnosing and treating periodontal disease. Most adults in the United States have some form of perio disease – so let’s learn how to treat it correctly – and how to answer the question “Why didn’t my last dentist tell me this?”

And then of course there is the “Call Of The Week.” We continue the theme by asking an office manager if they have a soft tissue management program. It’s a weird question, but one word really tripped her up. Most importantly, did she schedule the patient? Listen and find out.
