The Very Dental Podcast Network Working from the gums up with Dr. Rob Ritter (DHP111)
Dr. Rob Ritter is here to tell you that there is not a thing wrong with being a restorative dentist. Nothing agains the super dentist, but Rob makes a pretty compelling argument about profitability (especially if you use a digital workflow) and stomach lining for referring out "specialty procedures."
Some things we talked about:
- restorative dentist vs. "super" dentist
- student loans and their potential effect on treatment planning
- digital photography for dummies
- intraoral: f25, flash: +⅓
- extraoral: f22, flash: +⅔
- full face: f stop 8-9
- using your smartphone to assist your digital workflow
