Episode 43: What Dental School Won’t Teach You About Your Finances With Dr. Tom Larkin

Owning a dental practice gives you the opportunity to make lots of money.

Building wealth will prove to be extremely difficult (even impossible) if you are financially illiterate.

On today’s show, we welcome back a very special guest, Dr. Tom Larkin.

Dr. Larkin is the clinical director for Ideal Practices. He is also the founder of OralWellnessCenter.org, which is doing some incredibly fascinating things as far as linking oral systemic health with dentistry. He is also an instructor at Louisville’s School of Dentistry.
