Leading In A Down Market

Suzanne Black President,

2008 has flown by and if you are like most, you are faced with challenges in the marketplace that were not anticipated. Are you ready to take advantage of the opportunities before you, and get stronger during a down market?

Follow our LEAD Principles and have 2008 be a surprisingly good year!

1. Lead the Way - Energy, Mindset, Focus - the Leader sets the tone. Create a team of Leaders through clarity of purpose. Keep your head in the game and focus on what will make a difference. Soar with Eagles who are doing the same.

2. Extend Your Reach - Continue to Market your practice. Let people in the community know you are there. Speak at the local Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs. Upgrade your website. Get your practice in the Public Eye through effective, low cost Cause Marketing.

3. Adapt & ASK - Customize. Work with your team and your patients to help people solve their total problems. People buy for their reasons not yours. Find out about your patients and their desires. SMILE and touch each patient’s heart. Meet them where they are – without assuming you understand. ASK !

4. Develop Your Team - Make sure that every team member is at the top of their game, including the dentist! Communication Training, Practice Management Support, Clinical Excellence. Practices grow in a down economy by taking advantage of every asset in their practice and finding the hidden productivity. Allow professionals to assist you in this treasure hunt.

At the Coaching Center, home of the legendary Dental Boot Kamp, we are committed to these 4 Principles. Our programs address these four critical areas. In addition to the powerful, infotaining, seminars we are known for, we also have a library of over 50 Training Programs that can be customized to your practice, in your town, on your schedule. Call Us.

We are here to Make 2008 GREAT!

Medical Breakthrough: Stem Cells in Teeth

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health recently discovered powerful adult stem cells in baby teeth and impacted wisdom teeth. Stem cells are unique in that they are the only cells in the body that can regenerate and differentiate into specialized cell types. Hence, they drive the body’s natural healing and maintenance processes. Ongoing medical research demonstrates that stem cells from teeth are particularly ‘plastic’ – that is, they can be manipulated to grow into many different cell types such as, bone, muscle, cartilage, skin, brain cells, organ tissue and neural tissue.

Given their unique properties, stem cells have the potential to treat disease and injury contemporary medicine deems difficult if not impossible to treat with current methods. Medical researchers around the world are working today to develop powerful new treatments from stem cells for a wide range of diseases and injuries such as diabetes, Parkinson’s, muscular dystrophy, heart failure, bone regeneration, joint replacement, brain trauma, infertility, arthritis, osteoporosis and Crohn’s disease.

The potential inherent in stem cell has compelled the Department of Defense, on April 17th, 2008, to announce AFIRM (Armed Forces Institute for Regenerative Medicine) - a $250 million dollar initiative to fast track stem cell based regenerative therapies and tissue engineering for the treatment of injuries and trauma suffered by America’s men and women in the armed forces. Techniques, therapies and treatments developed by the DOD will quickly translate to treatments for the general public.

Stem cells from teeth are a non-controversial and convenient way for parents and individuals to ensure today that they and their children can benefit from tomorrow’s new stem cell based medical treatments.

StemSave provides an affordable and non-invasive method for the recovery and cryopreservation of the powerful Adult Stem Cells found in teeth by teaming up with dentists to harvest stem cells during routine procedures. A visit to a dentist will now enable families and individuals to “bank” their stem cells for future use in regenerative and personalized medical treatments and therapies.
