Very Dental: Dr. Erin Elliott is More than Just Sleep

Al had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Erin Elliott at the Greater New York dental meeting! It will come as no surprise to anyone that this wide ranging conversation was a blast!

• Al had veneers. Probably about 30 years ago. Who knew?
• What % of people have crowding vs. excess of space? Why?
• Are people more allergic now than they used to be? (spoiler: roll your kids in dirt)
• Who's got team drama?
• Erin grew up in CA but considers herself an Idahoan!
• Detroit Metro airport is the best airport. Al will fight you if you disagree.
• Erin stays away from home for a long time. And gets to write it off.
• Erin on emergency dentistry (she's got this figured out)
• Medical people GNF. Erin on giving patients money back.
• "Painless" dentistry is BS. Be direct with patients about their needs.
• Erin on implants! (spoiler: She's a fan of 3D Dentists AND Implant Pathway!)
• In person teaching >>> Zoom teaching
• If you go to meetings (ahem...VoD) then support the vendors!
• Erin is coming to Voices of Dentistry! There is NO SUBSTITUTE for dental meetings!
• Eliminating excuses about photography by having SD card readers in each room!
