Dear DrBicuspid Member,
Now that the new year is almost upon us, what does 2023 have in store for dentistry? Eight dental leaders and executives shared their predictions with DrBicuspid. Our top story of the week breaks down the leading ideas, including the continued adoption of artificial intelligence.
If you like prediction pieces, you'll want to check out Sonendo CEO Bjarne Bergheim's 3 key predictions for 2023 and our practice management columnists' tips for making 2023 your practice's best year. I'll also jump in with a prediction of my own: There will be great things happening for DrBicuspid in 2023!
What you should have known in dental school
The end of the year isn't just about predictions; it's also the perfect time to reflect. New dentist and 2022 dental school graduate Dr. Jason Cummins penned a piece reflecting on his time in dental school. He shared what he wishes he had known before dental school graduation, including finding your people and not being too hard on yourself.
What caused the dental spending spike
As you may remember from last week, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released new data showing that dental spending skyrocketed in 2021 to $162 billion. The ADA Health Policy Institute analyzed the factors contributing to the trend and what it means for the dental industry.
