Every year, lawmakers change dozens of employment laws and regulations at the state, federal, and local levels. As an employer, you must be compliant with ALL of the hundreds of laws that apply to you ALL of the time—or risk lawsuits, fines, and penalties.

Many practice owners assume that they're safe -- that their at-will status or existing office policies will protect them when the time comes. But at-will status is easily damaged, and your policies can only protect you if they're compliant with the laws that apply to your business. The thing is, most business owners don't even realize where they are vulnerable until a problem shows up at their doorstep and, at that point, it's already too late to do anything about it.

In this eye-opening presentation, CEDR Solution Center Manager Grace Godlasky will reveal some of the most common HR compliance traps that practice owners miss and employers must proactively avoid. Godlasky will also discuss how having the right policies in place will not only protect your business, but will also make your day-to-day operations easier and far, far safer.

Learning Objectives:
--------------------------------------------
• The most common policy mistakes found in dental office manuals.
• How a policy’s wording can create or dispel liability for your practice.
• Why documentation is your best defense.
• Where and how to look for potential vulnerabilities in your HR armor.

A patient comes into their local dentist office with a cracked molar. Rather than asking questions about treatment, they’re more concerned with how much it’s going to cost, afraid they can’t afford it. It’s no surprise that 59% of adults have forgone dental care due to cost.

Access to dental care is a major challenge for dental professionals. According to a survey of thousands of dental practices, the average case acceptance rate is underwhelming at best—for established patients, it’s 50-60%, and for new patients, 25%-35%.

It doesn’t add up. It’s time to improve access to care!

Offering Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) is proven to increase case acceptance rates, patient satisfaction, and production. Stop leaving patients underserved and money on the table. Join this webinar to learn how practices like yours have already started tapping into this opportunity.

Learning Objectives:
--------------------------------------------
1. Why case acceptance rates continue to be a challenge, even with traditional financing solutions available.
2. How dentists can leverage a new Buy Now, Pay Later technology that approves over 85% of patients, with no hard credit check.
3. How Buy Now, Pay Later is helping dentists generate 25X more financing production and 150% more patient approvals than traditional financing solutions.

For some time now, dentistry has been progressing towards a more digital experience. Things like online marketing, registration, practice management systems, interoffice/patient communication, radiography, caries detection, intraoral cameras, surgical guides, shade taking, (you get the idea) have been moving to digital. Obstructive Sleep Apnea class II medical device manufacturers like ProSomnus have been digital since inception. In fact, analog impressions and bite registrations had to be digitized prior to making your patient’s appliance. “Goop is Dead”, long live intraoral scanning! Especially for expensive PVS full arch impressions for dental sleep medicine, scanning makes great sense. It shortens the workflow, is more accurate, saves time, saves consumable expense and patients love it. Mark will describe his transition to IOS using the Medit i500 for DSM and how it streamlined his practice.

Learning Objectives:
--------------------------------------------
1. Appreciate the evolution of dental practices towards digital experiences
2. Evaluate the ROI, marketing, and workflow simplification of transitioning to IOS for DSM
3. Example the protocol for Impressing and Bite Registration using a Medit i500

He has a knack for presenting pertinent information in an entertaining manner.

We have all dealt with a post restorative complaint and corrected it by adjusting a “high spot” that was inadvertently created during the procedure. Almost without fail a single adjustment resolves the complaint.

We have all dealt with patients who were hyper aware of their occlusion. Some of those patients get labeled as “occlusal neurotics.”

This 90 minute on-line CE session, then, is geared for the general dentist with the goals to improve daily occlusal adjustments in restorative therapy as well as to learn how to deal with more complex occlusal issues.

There is a continuum of disease that starts with a single tooth awareness that progresses to jaw discomfort and awareness that a bite is “uncomfortable” to a patient totally focused on their “bite” often seriously effecting the quality of their lives. The later stages of this disorder is termed “occlusal dysesthesia.”

There are many literature references to this somatic disorder. It is difficult to assess the frequency of the disorder. Because it is a continuum, many patients have a degree of the disorder and are therefore vulnerable to proceeding to a more serious, life altering form of the disease. The disorder is associated with a vicious cycle between an increased trigeminal signal and the reticular activating system. Appropriate treatment to interfere in this vicious cycle will be thoroughly explored.

Join this lively discussion with panelists from infectious disease, accounting, labor law, practice management and more. Dr. Howard Farran will host, and Dr. Tom Giacobbi will present your questions to our panel of experts. The COVID-19 pandemic will have a lasting impact on our profession, and this is a great opportunity to discuss what we can do now and how we can plan for the future.

It’s “Game Time”, the cementation of your restoration and the question, what to use? Use the wrong product or the wrong procedure and you are guaranteed premature failure. So, the questions… Do you bond? Do you prime? Do you silanate? Do you cleanse the crown and if so with what? Do you use one of the newer calcium releasing cements? How important is isolation? Oh…the questions! These are just some of the routine issues that this course is centered around. The goal of this course is to offer pathways to simplify the decision-making process.

Learning Objectives:
-------------------------------------------
1. To define pathways of how to properly cement crowns and onlays 2. Differentiating what to use and why one cement just isn’t the answer 3. How to avoid post-operative issues and equally take the stress out of cementation 4. Delivering zirconia crowns, why you really have to know what you are using

The webinar will cover the market research, practice data, and case studies that show how you can significantly increase the revenue, profitability and value of your practice without adding new patients. Some items that will be covered:
1. From 1997 to 2016, the dental market grew 70% while dentist earnings remained flat! The webinar will explore why this is the case.
2. Dental insurance does not work for dentists or patients. The webinar will cover the specifics of why this is true and why it is getting worse, not better.

1. Understand some reasons why it has become more difficult to run a profitable dental practice.
2. Learn how uninsured patients think about dental care.
