One of the most enjoyable parts of the dental profession are the relationships we all form. Doctors have very close relationships with their staff and patients. Specialists seek and connect with general practitioners and form working relationships that can last for decades. The same is true for the many support persons and firms that serve dentists. Consultants, accountants, financial services advisors, specialized legal counsel are just a few. But also there are relationships between those firms. This past weekend provides a great example. I was sponsored by Treloar & Heisel, the well known insurance and financial services firm that I have known for many years, to provide a residents presentation at the Southeastern Society of Pediatric Dentists in Atlanta. Pictured here are the professionals I was with at the meeting. All of them are dedicated to serving dentists. From left to right, Joel Keirns, Dental Operations Leader, Medical Protective, Joseph Pantoja, MBA, CLTC, Jeffrey Wherry, CFP, ChFC, Managing Director T&H Financial Group and Christian Pearson, Southeast Financial Service Representative, Treloar & Heisel.

It's great when dentists form a personal network of patients, mentors, colleagues, and other people they meet in seminars and trainings. That network would help them mold their skills as a dentist, and increase their wisdom and knowledge in the field.
