Dental Boot Kamp - Reports from the newsletter of 'successful dentistry'practises.
I am recieving the Dental Boot Camp newsletter in my e-mails.
I will post examples of their connivings to get 'the best patients' to accept the 'full compliance' package. This is to show how they neglect the serious dental problems in regular people that they are given the mandate to treat.
In the restriction of licence to practise dentistry, there is an obligation to treat people due to the monopoly they enjoy. But they often do not do this. Nobody is asking them to work for free, but to steer everyone out the door who can't afford endless [and in-effective] expensive work is inhumane and almost criminal.
I experienced the worst of it, losing averything due to disabling chronic pains and health problems[Fibromyalgia, fatigue, brain dysfunctioning, etc etc.]. No doctor would help either, although they WERE TREATING THE SYMPTOMS OF BAD TEETH. [They did not confirm that my teeth were the problem tho'].
When I started asking for extractions due to the terrible face pains and headaches obviously [to me] from the teeth and dental treatments themselves [the pain started after drillings, and would not stop for months -MONTHS!!], they refused, saying "we save teeth, not get rid of them".
I finally got all my uppers and the offending lowers pulled and now my health is slowly returning to normal, many huge improvments immediatly proves that the teeth were the problem.
Here is today's [Oct8th 2003] Dental Boot Camp mesage [couched in terms that make it seem okay, but read between the lines - they are getting rid of the poor, leaving them to suffer]:

Thought: If you try to be everything to everybody, you will end up being nothing to nobody. Steve Anderson
Action: Target your market. Identify your ideal patient and seek continuously to acquire more of this type. One good resource will always be your existing ideal patients. Every day ask 10 people to do business with you. They will probably have friends just like themselves.
Tuesday, October 7
Thought: Prospective patients of the upper 20% class can be found in many obvious places. Steve Anderson
Action: Think about where you can connect and invite new patients to your practice through your naturally existing relationships. Think about extended family; new or old neighbors; members of associations you belong to including church, PTA, gym, golf course, park, tennis courts, health club, bowling ally, hunting and fishing club, barber shop, beauty salon, choir, etc.
Wednesday, October 8
Thought: Your natural existing economic relationships are the only things better than your natural existing relationships when it comes to looking for new patients. Steve Anderson
Action: In looking for new patients give special consideration to those with whom you have an economic relationship. They are committed to your continued success because it means your continued use of their products and/or services.
I will post more as they arrive, until they come for me and haul me off to jail...
