WHAT THIS EPISODE REVEALS
"Your ideal care will fail without support, without your team being aligned and empowered with systems. Vision alone isn’t enough." – Dr. Braden Baird
Most dentists spend their early years in “survivor care,” reacting to broken systems, high stress, and production demands. Dr. Braden Baird shares how he broke that cycle, producing $1,000/hour just two years out of school by shifting to a philosophy of ideal care built on team alignment, systems, and mentorship.
