The moment loyalty starts hurting you.

Loyalty is a beautiful trait, but there is a line most people do not notice until they are already exhausted. The shift happens when loyalty quietly turns into obligation. When you start staying somewhere not because you want to, but because you feel responsible for holding everything together. One simple question can reveal the real reason you are staying, and the answer might surprise you.

Many dental practices are dangerously underinsured without even realizing it. While malpractice coverage is always top of mind, areas like cyber insurance, Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI), and business interruption coverage are frequently overlooked until a crisis occurs.

In the latest episode of Nobody Told Me That!, Jack McKinney of TDIC Insurance Solutions shares his insights on risk management for the dental industry. We discuss the rise of ransomware attacks in healthcare, how expanding clinical services alters your risk profile, and why office managers must be actively involved in insurance planning.

Protecting your financial future requires looking beyond patient care to secure the infrastructure of your business.

The hardest part in my early days as a manager was firing my best friend.

Being a manager sometimes means making decisions that hurt personally but matter professionally. Letting go of someone you love forces you to separate roles, set boundaries, and understand that accountability and friendship can coexist when respect is clear and expectations are honored.

During the Chicago Midwinter Meeting, I joined Dr. Alan Mead on The Very Dental Podcast to discuss the ADA’s refreshed radiographic guidelines.

We also touched on the ethics of insurance billing and how innovation is streamlining the administrative side of the profession.

I invite you to listen to the episode for a deep dive into these updated standards.
