Jason and Alan were joined by the one and only Dr. Arun Garg for an enlightening Facebook Live last weekend. It turns out that not only is Arun a widely followed implant educator he's also a multiple practice owner! And guess what...he's been closed down like the rest of us! The Dental Hacks have a lively talk about what we've been doing to prepare to reopen our practices after the COVID crisis. Some of the topics we talked about include: Who's winning during the COVID era? How has his educational curriculum been affected? How did Arun decide to close all 6 of practices and how did that go? Dr. Garg on air filtration The problem with the recommendations from the CDC/OSHA (no data) Security theater (are n95 masks forever?) Dr. Garg's experience with the HIV scare Who can get out and who has to stay? Al's new webinar: "How to Fake Your Own Death" Arun's plan to ramp up to a normal volume of patients In increase in deaths of despair Jason's surgical caps What are Jason and Arun doing to be ready to open Arun's experience with a dental operating microscope Using a microscope for oral surgery Getting PPE is a mess/getting your team to wear it is also a mess Treatment planning and case presentation in the COVID era Some links from the show: Implant Seminars (Dr. Garg's training curriculum) Labomed Magna microscope Omaha Brewing Company Enova Illumination headlamp Botched on the E!
