Dr. Jasmine Elmore’s journey began back in 2015. After completing a certification in Pediatric Dental Medicine at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in inner city Philadelphia, she moved to rural North Carolina to help a local dentist tackle a six-month waitlist for operative dentistry.  She worked six days a week and treated thousands of state-insured children monthly until the end of 2016 when...

Ashley Keith (office manager extraordinaire out of Kansas) joins the podcast again to talk about how her practice managed to grow during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yup, you heard that right. Keith + Associates Dentistry had an unconventional, successful journey during 2020, and Ashley shares what she implemented with Kiera and the Dental A-Team.

The biggest thing: solving the problems that arose once and for all. No couple-month trial periods, rather figuring things out forever. Hear Ashley and Kiera discuss what tactics are best, plus, how Keith + Associates is setting up a business center for its insurance verification, processing, and billing tasks.

Kiera joins the Tale of Two Hygienists gang to talk team dynamics! That means getting your entire team to run together as a pack. Kiera, Michelle, and Andrew discuss how to structure goals so all team members can feel part of the success, how to provide production and patient care simultaneously, and how to make sure the back and front office is on the same page.
