Summary
Dr. Patrick Micaroni is a pediatric dentist and practice owner from New York. We talk about just about every topic related to pediatric dentistry that you can think of, including: - How he bought an existing practice and kept the selling doc on as an associate - Why residency was truly "the good ol days" - Recurrent decay on teenagers - Why class IIs are terrible - Cloud-based dental software, pros and cons - Challenges of employing expensive hygienists in states where assistants can't coronal polish This is a great casual episode where we vent about the common pitfalls that drive us crazy as pediatric dentists.
