<p dir="ltr">More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: <a href= "https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter">https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter</a></p> <p dir="ltr">What actually happens when an unexpected loss or injury shatters the routine of your practice? It’s a question no one wants to ask—until it’s too late. I would like to walk you through the uncertainty that can unfold in a dental practice when the unexpected happens to the doctor at the center of it all. My hope is that you are prepared - nobody told me that, remember?</p> <p dir="ltr">The sudden loss of a dentist—especially in a solo or small practice—is not just a tragedy. It’s a disruption that ripples through patients, staff, finances, and even the long-term value of the business. What has to happen right away? Should the office close? How do you support a grieving team while still making decisions that keep the doors open?</p> <p dir="ltr">But death isn’t the only event that can throw a practice into turmoil. I also discuss scenarios like disability, serious injury, or anything that keeps a dentist from returning to work. Each one brings its own emotional and operational fallout, and without a plan, the burden often falls squarely on the manager’s shoulders—right when they’re least prepared to carry it.</p> <p dir="ltr">And what if the unexpected - good or bad - happens on the other side of the desk? What if it’s you—the manager—who needs to step away, transition into a new career, or start something of your own? We’ll explore how to prepare for your own exit with intention and clarity, making sure the practice doesn’t fall apart the moment you walk out the door.</p> <p dir="ltr">This is a raw and necessary look at what no one wants to talk about—until it’s already happening. Because if no one else has told you what to do when it all goes sideways, I’m here to help and to make sure you’re not caught in the dark.</p> <p dir="ltr">-------------</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Medical Billing Made Easy!
