“Big change requires big change.”

Jessica Nunn said this during our conversation on Episode 64, and it’s a pretty good gut check for any practice owner looking at their financials.

Small adjustments can absolutely help. But when you want to make a meaningful change in profitability, sometimes you have to change the way you’re operating.

That can mean changing compensation, looking differently at expenses, making a harder hiring decision, changing how you spend, or finally paying attention to the numbers you’ve been avoiding.

The numbers can show you where the problem is. They can’t make the decision for you.

“I’m bad with numbers.”

Jessica Nunn hears that all the time from dental practice owners, and her response is worth hearing.

Maybe you’re not bad with numbers. Maybe you were never trained to understand the financial side of running a practice, and somewhere along the way, you started avoiding the numbers because they felt intimidating.

In this episode, Jessica talks about big change requiring big change, the difference between feelings and facts when reviewing your financials, and why the right financial partner should leave you feeling clearer about what to do next, not like you need to cry into your spreadsheet.

Some dentists know exactly how much they collected last month and still have no idea how their practice is doing financially.

That’s more common than you might think.

You can run a successful practice, take care of your patients, lead a team, keep the doors open, and still avoid looking too closely at your AR, overhead, hygiene production, profit, or where your money is actually going.

And there’s a reason for it.

Dental school doesn’t exactly prepare you for the business side of owning a practice, so a lot of owners end up telling themselves, “I’m just bad with numbers.”

Jessica Nunn, CPA, founder and CEO of Maven Financial Partners, has a different take: maybe you’re not bad with numbers. Maybe you were never trained, and somewhere along the way, numbers became something you learned to fear.

In Episode 64, Jessica and I get into the uncomfortable stuff, including why feelings aren’t facts when you’re looking at your financials, why big change requires big change, how team compensation can affect profitability, and why a budget is simply “telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.”

And maybe the best part? You don’t have to make financials miserable to get good at them.

I spent two decades learning that following up isn’t the same thing as chasing, and sometimes the strongest move is letting someone show you what they’re willing to do.

We say we want preventive care. But are we actually incentivizing it?

That’s one of the questions Michael Cembrola brought up in Episode 63 of The Real Talk of Dental.

If taking care of a smaller problem early can prevent a much bigger problem later, there’s a pretty strong argument that the system should recognize and reward that kind of care.

As Michael put it: “I think dentists should be incentivized for providing appropriate care at the appropriate time.”

It’s a bigger conversation than insurance reimbursement. It’s about what we choose to value in healthcare and how those incentives affect patients, providers, and the system as a whole.
