<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She walked in like any other patient… but what happened next left the dental staff speechless.</span></p> <p>A quiet dental office. A woman enters, looking like a regular patient. Nothing seems off—until something does. What unfolds is a shocking case of true crime that exposes just how easily a routine day in dentistry can turn into something no one saw coming. It's the kind of crime that leaves teams rattled and protocols questioned.</p> <p>In this eye-opening case of crime in dentistry, the criminal doesn’t break in—she walks right through the front door. It’s a chilling reminder that even trusted environments like dental practices aren’t immune to true crime. When someone blends in as a patient, it becomes dangerously easy to pull off a calculated crime—and get away with it.</p> <p>The reality is, crime in dentistry doesn’t always come with red flags. It can be subtle, bold, or even shockingly simple. And when patients aren’t who they seem, the consequences go far beyond missing items—they shake the very foundation of trust inside the clinic.</p> <p>But not all dentistry stories are dark. Down in Miami, we shift to something wild—in the best way. At Zoo Miami, dental teams are performing procedures not on your typical patients, but on exotic animals. A jaguar with a fractured tooth, an orangutan needing care, and other wildlife receive expert treatment from professionals trained in dentistry for humans and animals alike. It’s an incredible reminder of how the tools of dentistry can be used for compassion, healing, and even wildlife conservation.</p> <p>From unsettling moments of true crime to inspiring acts of animal care, this episode proves that dentistry lives at the intersection of the unexpected.</p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Link to the Articles:</span></p> <p><a href="https://ksltv.com/local-news/police-arrest-break-room-thief-targeting-dentists/733542/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Police arrest ‘break room thief’ after she allegedly stole wallets, keys and bags, targeting dentists</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://communitynewspapers.com/kendallgazette/dental-week-at-zoo-miami/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">DENTAL WEEK AT ZOO MIAMI</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Teresa's insurance class is open for business!

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Medical debt no longer impacts credit scores. What does this mean for dentists and patients?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">New U.S. regulations are making waves as medical debt is now removed from credit score calculations. Kevin and Teresa dive deep into what this monumental shift might mean for dentistry. With $49 billion in affected debt no longer lowering credit scores, patients may feel less compelled to pay their bills, leading to serious concerns for dental practices relying on payment compliance. They unpack what this change means for collections, explore how higher credit scores might affect third-party financing approvals, and the potential for patients to misuse these new rules. The effects on both patient accountability and dental office operations could be far-reaching—don’t miss this detailed breakdown of a game-changing development.</span></p> <h1><span style="font-weight: 400;">Link to the Articles:</span></h1> <p><a href="https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/cfpb-finalizes-rule-to-remove-medical-bills-from-credit-reports/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CFPB Finalizes Rule to Remove Medical Bills from Credit Reports</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://nltimes.nl/2025/01/17/people-pushing-dentists-yank-healthy-teeth-due-high-costs-dental-care"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People pushing dentists to yank out healthy teeth due to high costs of dental care</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Teresa's insurance class is open for business!

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A hockey player picking up his own teeth from the ice? Fish getting dental impressions? Dive into these unexpected dental tales!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, we explore two intriguing dental stories. First, Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe suffered a facial injury during a game against the Detroit Red Wings, resulting in him collecting his teeth from the ice before continuing to play. After receiving dental treatment, he later cracked a repaired tooth by biting his nail. This incident highlights the frequent dental challenges faced by hockey players.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next, we delve into innovative research from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, where scientists developed a method to take dental impressions of small live fish. By creating specialized tiny impression trays and materials, and carefully sedating the fish, they successfully performed this procedure on 60 fish without any fatalities. This research offers insights into fish teeth patterns, feeding habits, and evolutionary changes.</span></p> <h1><span style="font-weight: 400;">Link to the Articles:</span></h1> <p><a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/toronto-maple-leafs/latest-news/i-bit-my-nail-and-cracked-one-off-jake-mccabe-reveals-what-dental-work-was-like-after-taking-red-wings-lucas-raymonds-stick-to-face"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe is learning to live with a few busted teeth.</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://phys.org/news/2024-12-fish-friendly-dentistry-method-oral.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fish-friendly dentistry: New method makes oral research non-lethal</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Teresa's insurance class is open for business!
