One of the greatest challenges ALL small business owners face is recognizing what tasks they should do themselves and what tasks they can delegate to team members.

I wanted to believe in the incredibleness of fluoride. I trusted the industry leaders when they said how awesome fluoride was for preventing tooth decay. “They” never ever mentioned its very sinister and dark side effects.

By: Julie Kellogg I walked into the treatment room and greeted my patient. He said, “You know that tooth we are going to work on? The gums have gotten really irritated around it.” Hmmm, I thought, that seems odd. It’s not what I would expect.
