Exhibeo lawsuits heat up; Canada gets poor marks for kids' wait times

Dear DrBicuspid Member,

Multiple class-action lawsuits have been filed against the developer and marketer of the Exhibeo patient education system, charging that some 2,000 dentists, optometrists, and chiropractors across the U.S. who leased the systems are victims of fraud.

Now a judicial panel must decide which state the complaints should be heard in, and their decision could have a critical impact on the outcome. Read more in this latest Practice Management Community feature.

In other news, many Canadian pediatric dental patients have to wait a year or more to get the treatment they need, according to the Wait Time Alliance's 2010 Report Card. At least one expert says it all boils down to an issue of poverty. Read more.

And in the latest DrBicuspid.com "How To" feature, Tina Calloway, C.D.A., and her mentor, Dr. Mark Hyman, share some of their experiences in building a "top gun" dental team and the key role dental assistants can play if they are given the right kind of direction and encouragement.
