On the latest episode of Tooth and Coin, we revisit a conversation with Jordon Comstock, founder and CEO of BoomCloud, a leading platform for dental membership plans.

Dr. Hunter Smith's story is a compelling narrative of ambition and strategic growth within the dental industry.

Running a successful dental practice requires more than just exceptional clinical skills; it demands astute business acumen, particularly in accounting.

One of the core challenges in dental practices is managing accounts receivable efficiently. Many practices struggle with outstanding balances that go uncollected, which ultimately impacts their overall financial health.

With almost two decades in the revenue cycle space, Andy has devoted his career to helping dental practices optimize their accounts receivable (AR) processes.

Dentistry isn’t just about teeth. Starting or buying your own dental practice is one of the most exciting and intimidating steps in your career.

Running a dental practice involves more than just patient care; it requires astute financial management to ensure profitability and sustainability.
