Don't miss this enlightening conversation!

Your hygienist calls out. Your assistant goes on vacation. The schedule is packed. And you're the one who has to figure it out before the first patient walks through the door.

Staffing is one of the hardest parts of running a dental practice — and in this episode, Kyle sits down with Maria from Clipboard Health to break down a different way to think about temp coverage, working interviews, and full-time hiring.

Clipboard Health started ten years ago in long-term care, where staffing gaps create real regulatory risk. Five years ago they expanded into dental, and they've built one of the most reliable temp platforms in the industry — filling more than 90% of all shifts posted, with a no-show and late cancellation rate under 2%.

Here's what we cover:

• Why hygienists are the single hardest role to fill right now (and what's driving the shortage)

• How to use temp shifts as a working interview before making a full-time offer

• The real cost of a canceled day — and why it's much higher than the temp rate

• How DSOs and group practices are using the platform differently than private practices

• The vetting process: licenses, background checks, ratings, and ongoing quality control

• Why "Pennywise, pound foolish" is the mindset shift most practices need to make

• How Clipboard Health pairs every account with a dedicated account manager and 24/7 support

Kyle also shares his own firsthand experience using Clipboard Health when his practice's hygienist went on a two-week vacation with short notice — and why the temp who showed up made his doctor ask if they could get her back.

The biggest difference between Clipboard Health and most staffing agencies: no placement fees. If you meet someone through the platform and want to hire them full-time, you can — without paying anything extra.

You'll hear why Mark3 can deliver premium-quality crowns, cements, impression materials, cleaners, and the fast-growing RX 5000 toothpaste at 50 to 70% less than the big-name brands.
