Jack Thomas introduces guests Frank M. and Ryan Maher, who run multiple dental practices. Ryan emphasizes the potential health risks associated with normal oral bacteria entering the bloodstream and causing diseases. He highlights the significance of teamwork and organizes team retreats to foster camaraderie among colleagues, leading to increased happiness and productivity. Personally, Ryan enjoys visiting his college-aged kids. Frank discusses the complexities of dealing with dental insurance, citing various challenges it presents for dental practices.
Ryan discusses the Mainline Dental Plan as a way to complement existing insurance and reduce out-of-pocket costs for various dental procedures like fillings, crowns, and extractions. He mentions the potential benefits for dentists partnering with Mainline, particularly regarding cost reduction for union members. Frank adds that listeners can visit Mainlinedentalplan.com to find participating dentists or encourage their own dentist to join. He offers a discount code "RADIO" for 10% off and mentions that children under 18 in the same household can also be covered by the plan.
Ryan emphasizes the importance of oral hygiene practices such as brushing teeth twice daily, followed by flossing and mouthwash, although he acknowledges variations in dental advice. He underscores the importance of trusting one's dental provider, as they can assess oral health needs accurately, particularly for individuals prone to plaque buildup. Frank adds that the Mainline Dental Plan was founded by two brothers with a commitment to ensuring members receive necessary care, highlighting its significance for overall well-being.
Ryan discusses the severity of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and suggests that a custom-fitted night guard can alleviate jaw clenching and tension. He recommends holistic care, including physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, or massage, to address muscle soreness and tension. Frank emphasizes the critical importance of seeing a dentist despite common barriers like fear, finances, or emotions such as embarrassment. He encourages individuals to acknowledge these feelings but urges them to prioritize their health and seek dental care promptly.
00:00:42.180 --> 00:01:04.830 Jack Thomas: Good afternoon from talk radio. Nyc, we're at the happy spot. This is Jack Thomas. I have the graces of Ryan Marr and Frank Marr, what are we going to talk about at the happy spot today? We discuss, as we always do, all about the bio hacking the mind, and how everyday people can live extraordinary lives and make happiness part of their daily habit.
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:12.340 Jack Thomas: So we all have our daily habits. Wake up in the morning, I pray, give thanks to God. I made it love myself.
00:01:12.470 --> 00:01:26.250 Jack Thomas: Don't forget the bathroom, coffee and oral hygiene. How does that play into our happiness? We're gonna learn about that from Ryan and Frank Marr. But first for a moment I want to touch upon last week what we talked about
00:01:26.820 --> 00:01:29.959 Jack Thomas: at the happy spot we're using the mind.
00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:48.810 Jack Thomas: our body, and our breath on. How do we heal ourselves within a corporate environment? So everybody at the happy spot that works for the company and we have multiple people around the country. We have on shore. Virginia. We have Emily in Pittsburgh. We have our marketing team in New York, New Jersey.
00:01:49.100 --> 00:01:54.209 Jack Thomas: and we just brought on our radio team in New York City. Everybody gets
00:01:54.260 --> 00:02:23.160 Jack Thomas: the card for their happiness quite often in the medical world. Even I work with a large corporation. We're all given different tools. But how do you use it? So with the happy spot we help people on how to use it? So for me, the way I was taught, and I like to always focus back. I'm originally from New York, grown born and bred fourth generation Ashkenazi, Jew, and people want to negotiate with me. You don't even stand the chance. Why do we have to go down that path when we get into buying something expensive.
00:02:23.380 --> 00:02:26.319 Jack Thomas: But don't worry because I'm global class.
00:02:26.470 --> 00:02:34.520 Jack Thomas: And my friends today are from New Jersey and they're no different than I. There's a respect that we have for each other. But we focus local.
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:55.800 Jack Thomas: and we focus local. And what does that mean in oral hygiene and happiness? I'm gonna turn the floor over to Ryan Marr in the dental world for over 30 years, that I know of multiple practices extremely kind and empathetic, and Frank Marr, who's the business brains that is help operating and coordinating
00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:16.739 Jack Thomas: his transfer of trades. Frank has been in multiple industries, and every time he does he accelerates to the top. There's a practice is a generational piece that I know that they learn from their family. So that's what we're gonna be here today. Oral hygiene. How do we get to happy on oral hygiene. Dr. Ryan.
00:03:17.770 --> 00:03:23.201 drryanmaher: Well, first of all, Jack, thank you for having me. I really do truly appreciate. It's an honor to be here.
00:03:23.980 --> 00:03:28.480 drryanmaher: You talk about oral hygiene. And you're talking about a little bit about biohacking
00:03:28.490 --> 00:03:39.170 drryanmaher: it. It's important to know there for individuals to know that the oral cavity we have normal bacteria normal flora in our mouths.
00:03:39.880 --> 00:03:45.690 drryanmaher: That could potentially travel through our bloodstream and create unwanted
00:03:45.730 --> 00:03:59.999 drryanmaher: ill, you know. disease. So it's important to keep not only your mindset of a bat bio hacker healthy, but also your oral cavity healthy, so that we don't run into other types of diseases.
00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:21.459 Jack Thomas: Great. Thank you. And what are some things that you're hearing in the marketplace and magazines and information you read about happiness within the dental community cause. I've also heard that you guys are always under a lot of pressure, and it's a very stressful career. So what are you doing for happiness. For yourself and for your employees.
00:04:22.130 --> 00:04:34.459 drryanmaher: Yeah, that's a that's a great question. I I can definitely elaborate on that. Quite a bit. I'll try to minimize my my content. The first thing that I I think, is super important as a team.
00:04:34.460 --> 00:04:58.570 drryanmaher: You go out for some some just team building exercise, and that could just be going out for a couple of appetizers together, or doing a true team building experience, like bowling or something else whatever it is that can join your team together. I think that really gets their mind off of the dental office, and more as we're more of family than we are
00:04:59.140 --> 00:05:21.860 drryanmaher: employees or coworkers. So I think that that's something that that I've done over the past many, many years. That's really brought our team together more as a family than as workers or Co workers. And that that certainly you can. You can tell in the offices that I own that that their their mindset is different. They they come in happy
00:05:22.280 --> 00:05:35.610 drryanmaher: and they certainly leave happy. You know we all. We all know that work is work. But we wanna do our best to try to be as less stressed or as least stressed as possible during those 6, 8, 10 h. Whatever we're in the office for
00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:39.849 drryanmaher: as far as from a lifestyle home standpoint.
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:45.499 drryanmaher: I I I love spending time with my my wife and my kids. My my 2 kids are off to college.
00:05:45.781 --> 00:06:10.728 drryanmaher: We do get down to see them. Be it in Louisiana. I want you to see my son. Be it in North Carolina, down in Elon to see my daughter. Just just to see them, to hug them, to be with them. It is is distressful. It's a distressing, it's it's just it, it just, you know. I I'm sure when you, when you hug your child, you you know that feeling that's just you know, every everything kind of goes away all the bad stuff, all the stress
00:06:11.493 --> 00:06:17.770 drryanmaher: in our lives. So th that's important. And then just Jennifer and I. Being emptiness is going out together
00:06:18.286 --> 00:06:19.870 drryanmaher: doing like a date night.
00:06:19.900 --> 00:06:25.009 drryanmaher: whether it's just getting a dinner or going to a movie getting ice cream.
00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:38.200 drryanmaher: doing nothing, watching a a, an episode of, you know, friends or something at home, just spending some time together, quality time together and not worrying about picking up the phone and dealing with office related stuff.
00:06:38.860 --> 00:06:51.660 Jack Thomas: That's great. Thank you so much, and that supports the remedy that I had Dr. Donna right that I've been using for my wellness for many years. Just recently I was diagnosed diagnosed of being neuro diverse.
00:06:51.710 --> 00:07:00.629 Jack Thomas: And so my mind moves in different directions. So basically, I'm old enough that I have Adhd. And, as my kids say, I got a little bit of the autism
00:07:00.650 --> 00:07:20.930 Jack Thomas: and when we were younger they didn't. They didn't have diagnosis for that. But we were given different tools, and for me it was martial arts, breathing and having others friends to share it with. So hearing that spending that time with the family and the friends. That's a key thing that we always put out there in the regiment, and making sure you're getting that hugging time in. So
00:07:20.940 --> 00:07:30.070 Jack Thomas: really appreciate hearing that. And, Frank, I'd love to turn to you and and have a little bit of the feedback. I'm gonna go back history and time. I always like to go point to point.
00:07:30.710 --> 00:07:37.110 Jack Thomas: So I'm going to go to my point of my dental history, and it's a real New York. Let me negotiate a deal for you.
00:07:37.170 --> 00:07:43.320 Jack Thomas: So I was 14. I had my front tooth knocked out. Hockey Matt Jablon boom took it right out.
00:07:43.330 --> 00:07:47.380 Jack Thomas: We go to the dead, distant great Nick. So I grew up in a I grew up in a
00:07:47.480 --> 00:08:11.010 Jack Thomas: a nice neighborhood, but Great Nick at the time was the fancy fancy neighborhood. The dentist was in the big New York magazine, and my dad was old school. A deal was a deal so. It was $2,000 to get the tooth done. And how do I remember 2,000 cause when, on the fifth visit, when he was gonna fit it in? My father said, we're good. I said, No, dad, we still own 500.
00:08:11.070 --> 00:08:13.280 Jack Thomas: He goes. Tell him we're good.
00:08:13.460 --> 00:08:23.049 Jack Thomas: I said, Dad, it's my front teeth. It's my ego. You're 14, right? So I got my dad convinced him. Give me the 500. I told them
00:08:23.210 --> 00:08:27.730 Jack Thomas: I'll negotiate like my father asked me to, but first, can I have him put the tooth in
00:08:30.200 --> 00:08:46.690 Jack Thomas: N. Now back back then, Jack Thomas, that's that's just how it was. Now you come 40 years later, and your bills are even bigger and the stress of a family. And I have kids and we just redid my front teeth in the past few years. So
00:08:47.339 --> 00:09:01.100 Jack Thomas: what do you got out there? That's a a hacking move or something that is different. That I know that you guys have been working on working with for over 20 years. So, Frank, please fill us in on that affordability of of the program.
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:24.158 Frank M: Yeah, Jack, thank you so much for having us on. It's a it's a lot of fun, especially seeing you in your element there, surrounded by some really great artwork behind you. There, I'm sure that's gonna find its way, unless that's exactly how it's gonna stay knowing you, it has its own dimension and its own space. Yeah. So thanks again for having us on. My name's Frank Marr. Back in 2,000 my brother Ryan and I
00:09:25.030 --> 00:09:32.119 Frank M: Brian was the Brainchild of it. I give it to him, knowing that he had to find a way to offer
00:09:32.280 --> 00:09:44.219 Frank M: patients coming into his office that just had no means to pay for that front tooth that you were mentioning, and no negotiating skills like you, Jack. So they came in with, you know, hand out. What can we do?
00:09:44.220 --> 00:10:08.659 Frank M: And as a dentist in a professional, you just can't discount your rates. It's just not an acceptable format, right? There has to be some substance behind that. So the concept was. Well, if I accept dental insurance as a dentist, then I agree with that dental insurance provider to discount my rates to that Dental Insurance Company, and if that crown that you needed was $2,000, perhaps the
00:10:08.680 --> 00:10:38.220 Frank M: Dental Insurance Company only lets me charge $800 for it. So why not create a spin off and take it outside of the insurance world and think outside the box? And hence mainline dental plan was born an alternative to dental insurance. So at a very reasonable cost, as low as $116 a year for a single member. They, that new member of mainline dental plan can utilize a network of vetted
00:10:38.558 --> 00:10:51.830 Frank M: professionals. You know, people that are gonna be vetted the same way, insurance companies with that dentist quality dentist all around the country. And we continue to build on that work net on that network, but especially here in our home base of New Jersey.
00:10:52.109 --> 00:11:10.670 Frank M: They can go into these providers. They can get their diagnosis and find out what it is they need to have done, and they can simply look right on the website at Mainline dental plan.com. If I need a cleaning. If I need a root canal if I need. The prices are all listed there as a member. What they're gonna have to pay out of pocket.
00:11:10.670 --> 00:11:28.859 Frank M: Now the dentist enjoys it because they, the member who walks in their patient pays them on the spot. They don't have to file claims with the insurance. There's no maximums. There's no limits to what the member could do, so they can put together a full treatment plan to look out for what's best for the oral health of their patient.
00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:32.500 Frank M: and they can work through that treatment plan without worrying about.
00:11:32.680 --> 00:11:57.149 Frank M: You know the the normal worries that we all have when we have to work through the insurance world, right? What will be approved, what won't be approved? How many times we have to send the same claim in before we get paid on it? So it's it's been a win win since February 2,000 when when this kicked off and we continue to build on it. We've recently redone our website to make it a little bit easier. And it's primarily a 100 website based membership
00:11:57.509 --> 00:12:26.059 Frank M: program. So we we do have a phone number. We do have, you know, emails to communicate with. But we make it very simple where once the members involved. It's as easy as jumping on the website to see any dentist that signs up in the plan, and we vet them. It's as easy as entering in the members id number to see if they're active or inactive, and how if their additional family members are covered as well? So it really works out nice. And you know somebody in your situation back there could have benefit from it. Back in the day.
00:12:26.790 --> 00:12:40.160 Jack Thomas: Well, that? Well, thank you. That brings me up. We we had some conversations beforehand. So I'm gonna ask 3 ways of how people can have a benefit today. In other words, I have dental insurance. Now, when you and I spoke
00:12:40.420 --> 00:12:58.839 Jack Thomas: right, we also talked about a friend of mine that works within the Union world, and representing unions as a dentist or just a regular in employee who may be a sole practitioner of a business and has no insurance. So 3 different scenarios, right? Can all 3 partake in your program.
00:13:00.020 --> 00:13:04.969 Frank M: Absolutely, and one of the one of the great things with the program and I could let
00:13:05.060 --> 00:13:07.809 Frank M: Ryan speak to this a little bit more. But
00:13:07.920 --> 00:13:29.469 Frank M: if you have dental insurance already a lot of times, if you look at that plan, it really doesn't give you the full coverage that you need even to go in and get something done as simple as a crown. You need a post and core. You need the crown. You might need a root canal before all that got started. And boom! You're through your $1,000 for the year limit. And now you're coming right out of pocket.
00:13:29.580 --> 00:13:41.289 Frank M: So, Ryan, I'll turn it over to you in that scenario. If they had mainline dental plan as the alternative insurance, and then they had, whatever the carrier may be Xyz Insurance company for their dental.
00:13:41.340 --> 00:13:44.479 Frank M: and they came into you. How does that bill out, Ryan?
00:13:44.480 --> 00:14:08.320 Jack Thomas: So I'm gonna interject for Po. So I've just been note put on notice, we're gonna go into a break. So let's let's pick that right up with Brian. And we will rephrase the question and then go through that again because the technical aspect of it. This is really great information that people normally don't get, but to have the 2 of you here. Thank you so much. We're gonna move to break right now. Thank you.
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:09.080 Frank M: Thank you. Jack.
00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:25.569 Jack Thomas: Alright. Thank you. So today was in a conference call.
00:16:25.640 --> 00:16:37.399 Jack Thomas: I'd like to defer to myself as an entrepreneur. By the way, global class entrepreneur. You gentlemen are no longer entrepreneurs. You're now entrepreneurs. And here's why
00:16:38.020 --> 00:16:46.200 Jack Thomas: I work, and I'm a founding member of the Octopus movement neurodiverse out of the Netherlands. This information will go out there.
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:56.429 Jack Thomas: And so recently someone said to me, business, oh, you're very creative. I like your ideas. You're very entrepreneurial. And I said. Listen! 4 generations. New York City.
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:09.540 Jack Thomas: the an attribute that's like an insult. You know we were taught how to do this. We live this it's who we are. So now to be an entrepreneur, that was a new one, because technology is allowing us to do that.
00:17:09.670 --> 00:17:23.919 Jack Thomas: So it's great to hear how you're using technology and computers. But I'd love to go. Go back to the question of, there are 3 strategies. Number one is, I have insurance. Can I use your plan? The answer is, yes.
00:17:24.010 --> 00:17:26.670 Jack Thomas: I have friends of mine that are in unions.
00:17:26.900 --> 00:17:38.089 Jack Thomas: They have their own plan. We compare notes. Can they use it? And third is that small business owner that really makes up the backbone of Americans specifically, New York and New Jersey.
00:17:38.150 --> 00:17:59.160 Jack Thomas: Can they use the plan? And so, Ryan, if you wanna just kind of take that ball, and you know, give us some insight that we should know about that. You know ye here orally. This is the wealth. By the way, everyone, this is generational wealth. It's the oral handing down right. We could all read it, but then it's now the exchange. Ryan floor is yours.
00:17:59.820 --> 00:18:14.701 drryanmaher: Thank you. So I I I love the word hack that you're using. It's it's awesome. And this is, this is a true hack, like. So the first person you're talking about has dental insurance, right? So they're like, Okay, whatever my benefits are, that's what I'm gonna do. And the dental office will tell me what my co-payments are
00:18:15.190 --> 00:18:23.360 drryanmaher: with mainline dental plan. You can also combine with your insurance, and you're going to lower your cost
00:18:23.380 --> 00:18:34.770 drryanmaher: out of pocket substantially. So. Let's just say Frank was talking about a crown and the crown being, let's say the Dennis charges a thousand, but the insurance says that you can only charge 800,
00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:37.169 drryanmaher: and the insurance will pay
00:18:37.350 --> 00:18:51.060 drryanmaher: 400 of that. Well, your responsibility might be 400. But if you had combined with the mainline dental plan and the insurance. Your co-payment should be reduced even more so. So that applies to fillings.
00:18:51.750 --> 00:19:12.219 drryanmaher: crowns, extractions, root canals. Any type of dental procedure. That's out there. You can combine those benefits and save the money greatly, for as low as 1 16, I think, Frank said, for the year. Well, if you're gonna save more than $116, which you would if you need dental treatment.
00:19:12.260 --> 00:19:26.240 drryanmaher: that's that's a huge benefit for the individual that has insurance. Certainly that needs dental treatment if they just need a cleaning or 2 cleanings per year, maybe a different story. But most individuals that come into the dental office do need treatment.
00:19:26.300 --> 00:19:28.769 drryanmaher: So that helps that individual out.
00:19:29.321 --> 00:19:33.500 drryanmaher: Right there and then. The next one you were talking about is unions
00:19:34.078 --> 00:19:39.450 drryanmaher: so so define that a little bit more for me, Jack, so that I can delve into that for you.
00:19:39.950 --> 00:19:51.869 Jack Thomas: Sure. So I have a friend of mine. He has a dental practice group childhood friend, and the family has serviced local unions within the Queen's Brooklyn area. I couldn't be more specific than that.
00:19:52.260 --> 00:19:56.669 Jack Thomas: I don't. I don't know the nuances, but just kind of taking those big plans. And
00:19:56.700 --> 00:20:14.480 Jack Thomas: yeah, my mother. Thank God! Retired as a New York City school teacher right at 81. So she says, I got the best of everything right, and sometimes they really do so she also being in a union. So there's all different scenarios, just kind of high level opinion on that.
00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:32.530 drryanmaher: Right? So so I I think unions are. They're really really good for usually. Well, I would say almost always for the for the the member sometimes not only always for the dentist, the dentist may say, Hey, I don't wanna reduce my fees that much.
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:44.770 drryanmaher: So maybe if there. There is going to be a union between the dentist mainline, dental plan and and the actual union. you know adjoining forces that that can certainly help the dentist.
00:20:45.567 --> 00:20:49.940 drryanmaher: Possibly you know benefit as well by by joining up with
00:20:50.230 --> 00:20:52.285 drryanmaher: that mainline dental plan
00:20:52.850 --> 00:21:22.550 drryanmaher: but also being being the member of that union where you you do have the best of pretty much everything not. All unions will cover everything at 100. There are a lot of unions that I participate with, but they don't cover everything at 100, and with with those lower fees associated now without you know, using that that other insurance company. But but using this this union, so to speak, now that that member joins up with mainline dental plan
00:21:22.550 --> 00:21:33.070 drryanmaher: that may reduce it to 0 overall, and we can't be assure or guarantee to say, Hey, you're you're if you have both. Now you're you're out of pocket will be 0. But the lower the
00:21:33.380 --> 00:21:42.099 drryanmaher: out of pocket expenses are for the member, the Union member, the lower or or closer it gets to 0 out of pocket for that individual.
00:21:42.310 --> 00:21:46.939 drryanmaher: So so those Union plans are fantastic and couple that with another plan.
00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:49.639 drryanmaher: even more of a benefit for that member.
00:21:50.290 --> 00:22:05.179 Jack Thomas: And so I love how you. So that is a hack, because you're integrating 2 dissimilar scenarios for the ultimate outcome for the person. So we here, right at the Happy spot work with everyday people that live extraordinary lives.
00:22:05.510 --> 00:22:06.800 Jack Thomas: So frank.
00:22:07.658 --> 00:22:12.280 Jack Thomas: I wanna just I'm gonna touch upon something here, shifting gears just a little bit.
00:22:20.830 --> 00:22:24.530 drryanmaher: So, Jack, if you don't mind, I'll I'll just touch on that last thing for a minute.
00:22:24.530 --> 00:22:24.970 Jack Thomas: Yes.
00:22:24.970 --> 00:22:30.509 drryanmaher: You don't mind the small business owner who may not have any dental benefits. Right?
00:22:30.985 --> 00:22:36.199 drryanmaher: Fear and money are the 2 main reasons why people do not go to the dentist.
00:22:36.260 --> 00:22:42.209 drryanmaher: And obviously, if you don't go for either one of those reasons, you could be creating harm for your body overall.
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:58.459 drryanmaher: So with with having that small business owner, if they have no means to get dial insurance because it's way too expensive. This is just another alternative that really can can help them out, and for for a low cost, and take advantage of a big savings.
00:22:59.820 --> 00:23:24.171 Jack Thomas: So thank you for that. So I was looking for a note I'd made earlier, so excuse my! I lost my thought. There, Frank, you were talking about affordability and cost for our mem, our, our our listeners that are out there New York and New Jersey. I know that you're in multiple other states. But right now our focus is how we serve local. We are scaling global. But
00:23:24.540 --> 00:23:27.770 Jack Thomas: what discounts, what? What kind of deals can you give my people.
00:23:28.150 --> 00:23:53.250 Frank M: Yeah. So first off, I want them to go to the website. And that's there's 2 ways to get there. The one is the long way. That's mainline dental plan.com, which is all one word, or they can just do Mdp smile.com, and that'll bring them to the same spot. Once they're there they can search for a Dennis so they can. They can then put the Dennis name that they go to they can search by zip code to see if there's a Dennis in their area. They can send an email into us saying.
00:23:53.500 --> 00:24:19.249 Frank M: I noticed that my dentist isn't listed will be happy to reach out for their dentist to see if they'd be interested. A lot of the dentists are unaware of these plans, and when they see the rates that our members pay them directly without the hassles of filing claims and having their front desk do a lot of additional work. They're happy to take our plan, because it's on par with a lot of the dental plans which is empowering our members, empowering your listeners, empowering the small business
00:24:19.250 --> 00:24:43.039 Frank M: owners that don't have the means to set up these huge dental costs, you know, for their employees, and instead, we customize those plans for those small business owners that have 5, 1015 employees. And they wanna offer some type of discount, some type of generosity towards making sure that they're their their employees. Their family, as Ryan put it earlier.
00:24:43.040 --> 00:24:53.859 Frank M: are taking care of themselves there, and and from the employee their spouses, their children, that they're getting their oral health looked after, and they're taking care and practicing good oral hygiene.
00:24:54.157 --> 00:25:05.470 Frank M: For your listeners. We set up a code. If you were, go to the website and mainline dental plan.com on upon membership. There's a little coupon section, and we made a coupon code just radio.
00:25:05.470 --> 00:25:30.270 Frank M: So for Jack Thomas and his listeners, radio will give them 10% off of the membership. There's a variety you can sign up as as a single member you can sign up, as as you know you and your significant other. You can sign up as a family and and there's different payment methods you can set up where you pay one shot for the year. You can pay semi annually or quarterly, so it makes it affordable. Again, we're thinking of the member
00:25:30.270 --> 00:25:38.200 Frank M: we're thinking of bringing that member to a good quality dentist, so they can receive that care that's going to, you know. Keep them smiling and being happy.
00:25:38.810 --> 00:26:08.400 Jack Thomas: That's great. Thank you so much for that. And if just as a follow up, if you could send those links and Emily on my team will then place it in the email that will be going out through talk radio, dot. Nyc, so people will have access to it. Also, this will go out as a podcast. It'll go out of multiple channels. So thousands of people will be receiving this. And I I really hope that people take advantage of your generosity, and so thank you for offering that
00:26:08.970 --> 00:26:12.679 Jack Thomas: question on age groups. So for me.
00:26:13.290 --> 00:26:19.400 Jack Thomas: at 57, I look at my mom, 81. And I have kids, 2725.
00:26:19.550 --> 00:26:25.700 Jack Thomas: So Mom is in Florida. Daughters in La son is in Colorado. I'm in Jersey.
00:26:26.085 --> 00:26:41.369 Jack Thomas: number one. They don't live at home anymore. Could I have them on the plan? How does that work? You know I normally go off the rules of health insurance at 26. I told my daughter you're out, my son. He should be out, but he'll be out next year.
00:26:41.932 --> 00:27:00.630 Jack Thomas: but it's 26 right now. The phone bill. Now, we all know that right, our generation. I don't know if anyone's figured it out, but I think we're going to pay for their phone bill until they're my mother's agent. 81. Because you know that that's just the way our society is moving. But how does that work for kids in your plan?
00:27:00.630 --> 00:27:25.529 Frank M: So so in our plan. When you reach adulthood at age 18, you become accountable for yourself, and at 18 you would be a single member, and you'd go on your own. So, children in the same household with you under 18 years old can be on the plan, and they would all be covered. And and again, that it's a super re reasonable expense, like like Brian said earlier. Just the just going in for your normal 2 cleanings a year.
00:27:25.530 --> 00:27:34.989 Frank M: you know it evaporates the membership that you put out there. What you're going to save just on those visits, let alone getting into actual dental treatment plans that you may need.
00:27:35.510 --> 00:27:39.000 Jack Thomas: So so, speaking of 2 visits, I'm going this week.
00:27:39.580 --> 00:27:41.513 Jack Thomas: I am going this week for my
00:27:42.220 --> 00:28:11.139 Jack Thomas: my cleaning and my my my I've been going there for 30 years. And so, Adrian, hey? And whenever Adrian says, You know you, you just you're not. Gonna if you're with a dentist for 30 years. You trust them, and she and I'm getting older. I'm like, what's with all the yellowing, do I? I can't brush harder. You have to come. I have to go 3 times a year. So, Ryan, that's what we're gonna pick up on. Is it a hustle? Am I being hustle 3 times a year. Should I buy a bit of toothpaste?
00:28:11.140 --> 00:28:17.470 Jack Thomas: We're going to go to break in a minute, and we're going to pick up the question, you dental got your dental guys and gals.
00:28:17.470 --> 00:28:28.829 Jack Thomas: you know, we trust you. So now we're gonna hear the truth. Maybe maybe I'm just already brushing my teeth. We're gonna go to break before we go to break. I will let you know that the sound that you're listening.
00:28:28.830 --> 00:28:51.609 Jack Thomas: It's also a a wellness sound. It's a binaural beat. And so I use that at work now. So that sound is just a steady, focusing sound. So if you notice at the talk radio. Jack Thomas show. We're talking about the mouth today. We're talking about money in your hands, and we're talking about your ears and what you hear hopefully. This is all good. We're off to break. Be right back, everyone. Thank you.
00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:03.380 Jack Thomas: I had to remember to unmute myself. Gentlemen, welcome back to the happy spot. This is Jack Thomas.
00:31:03.650 --> 00:31:24.360 Jack Thomas: We are targeting 100 million dollar corporations up to 399 million dollars. We know our services are being used by larger groups, and we need large companies. So we could provide mental wellness to every one of your employees. How do we go about doing it? We come in and buy your worries. We'll make you a deal. We'll negotiate a fair deal.
00:31:24.390 --> 00:31:30.409 Jack Thomas: That's what we do with the happy spot for me. If you look over my right shoulder, my happy spot.
00:31:30.660 --> 00:31:32.251 Jack Thomas: it's that yellow corpet.
00:31:32.870 --> 00:31:40.850 Jack Thomas: It made me laugh so hard. I I met a photo. I met an artist in New York City rich buyer giving you a shout out, I think you're fantastic.
00:31:41.020 --> 00:31:54.169 Jack Thomas: His cars, his his his eye on cars, the details of how he looks at it. For me growing up as a kid. My favorite car was a blue corvette. Scott Desjardine lived up the street, I remember clearly.
00:31:54.380 --> 00:31:59.000 Jack Thomas: and you'll see a blue, a black, a silver, but yellow.
00:31:59.910 --> 00:32:02.060 Jack Thomas: special, happy spot.
00:32:02.280 --> 00:32:25.090 Jack Thomas: It really brings that kinda eye and feel to it. And, Ryan, we're gonna come back to you and just continue in the world of oral happiness and hygiene question. Should you brush once a day twice a day? And am I getting hustled by my clean, my lady, who I love dearly? I'm being told to go 3 times a year. And what do I do? Do I brush once or twice.
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:27.590 Jack Thomas: and do I go 3 times a year, depending on age.
00:32:28.170 --> 00:32:34.870 drryanmaher: So great questions. So so the brushing aspect definitely twice a day. And and
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.290 drryanmaher: you got to throw flossing in there as well.
00:32:37.390 --> 00:32:47.820 drryanmaher: The the the way you do it is is up to the the dentist hygienist patient. I prefer to brush
00:32:47.910 --> 00:32:50.469 drryanmaher: floss mouthwash done
00:32:50.510 --> 00:32:58.619 drryanmaher: because some people want to floss first, then brush but twice a day. Definitely, I don't think once a day is is adequate, and certainly it
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:18.239 drryanmaher: the more important time is is at night, because our our mouths dry up a little tiny bit more while we're sleeping. And then that's a that's where bacteria really have a party in a in a drier oral environment, so certainly brush before to to minimize or eliminate the bacteria that are bad in your mouth before you go to bed. But twice a day
00:33:19.109 --> 00:33:26.690 drryanmaher: and then going going to the dentist and and you you really nailed it when you said, Hey, I trust what's her name?
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:28.170 Jack Thomas: Each of you.
00:33:28.170 --> 00:33:48.260 drryanmaher: Adrian. I trust, Adrian, what Adrian says. I'm going with you. You exude that confidence in that. She's telling you the right thing. You have that feeling that inner feelings is, you know, I I really have that intuition that she's got me in in in my best interest. So th the first thing I would say is.
00:33:48.260 --> 00:34:05.199 drryanmaher: trust your professional right if if you go in there, and you think a th. This seems like really like a little bit of a scam or you know you may. You may want to talk around and ask others. If this is your first or second visit there. But if you've been there for a year, 5 years, 10 years and you're comfortable.
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:29.679 drryanmaher: Usually they're not gonna try to brook you or try to, you know. Pull a fast one on you and say, let's throw an extra cleaning in there per year. They're trying to to maximize your health and and try to put you on a path to stay where you're at, or get better, but certainly not going in the wrong direction. I have many people on, you know, 3 month free calls, which is 4 times a year and then others on
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:35.560 drryanmaher: 3 cleanings a year, and then the majority are on every 6 months.
00:34:35.856 --> 00:34:53.030 drryanmaher: But the but the important take home there is. Yeah. You really have to trust your professional. Because they can read the X-rays. They can. They can see what's happening in between visits. And if you're getting a lot of build up charter calculus plaque on a regular basis. You're one that needs to go a little bit more often.
00:34:53.739 --> 00:34:54.939 Jack Thomas: Great. Thank you.
00:34:55.403 --> 00:35:11.679 Jack Thomas: Frank, I wanna turn this over to a little marketing online. I'm not gonna divulge all your wisdom. You could talk about it. But the backdrop of your your national level of marketing and the different scenarios on all levels I'm I'm always impressed with.
00:35:12.579 --> 00:35:23.459 Jack Thomas: But I had a situation with my son this year. He was out. He's in Colorado. He's 24 on his own. He was on my dental plan, shifting over into his new job.
00:35:24.029 --> 00:35:41.709 Jack Thomas: And he went to a dentist, and you know he's 24. He did it like all the other kids, he googled it, and whatever search they did found somebody local found it was on the plan, went there, and my son called me up and said, Hey, dad, I need some money. I go. What do you need some money for? Well, for the dentist, for what
00:35:41.779 --> 00:35:43.929 Jack Thomas: I'm like? Did you use all of it?
00:35:43.999 --> 00:35:47.709 Jack Thomas: He's like. No, he said, I have like I don't know 7 cavities.
00:35:48.109 --> 00:36:06.489 Jack Thomas: and I'm like dude. Are you sleeping with candy in your mouth at night like, how do you get 7 cab, you know I get it. We're coming off the pandemic, and he hadn't been there in a little while, and you know he's a male, and you know we're just lazy by trade, you know. I'm making fun of all of us
00:36:06.729 --> 00:36:23.419 Jack Thomas: but 7 cavities. I called them out on it. We got into a little discussion, and he went out again out on the line, and he went to another dentist also within our proof plan, and that guy was said. One tooth was all that was really needed. I didn't want to push
00:36:23.916 --> 00:36:27.079 Jack Thomas: the the disgrace of this other one, saying, it's 7.
00:36:27.619 --> 00:36:31.859 Jack Thomas: But how do we know? Right like, how do? How do you add validity
00:36:32.269 --> 00:36:53.499 Jack Thomas: of being that extra insurance? You know we we trust, as as Ryan said our professional. I'm blessed. I'm here for 30 years with her. My kid is out there, you know. He's just new, A. A. How do we find trust and validity? And how do we build our trust and validity in mainline? What, what can we know? To what should we look for, to know, to believe in it?
00:36:53.740 --> 00:37:17.850 Frank M: Okay, so great great points, Jack, and a horrible experience for your son right coming on on his own trying to do the right thing and go take care of himself. His, his, you know, again. Oral health. Super important. Right? So he. He makes the move. He does his research, like so many people do. They just jump online. And they read reviews of people they never met. They don't know. They have no reference behind, and they follow that review.
00:37:17.850 --> 00:37:25.330 Frank M: and he ended up in a situation that unfortunately many people end up with. And that's not where we want to see. It's kind of like
00:37:25.330 --> 00:37:39.599 Frank M: the the beautiful automobile behind you and the stigma with automobile dealers. Right? Some of them are going to be super transparent and honest, and others are gonna play games that make the stigma and the stereotype out there of car dealers and part automatically.
00:37:39.600 --> 00:37:55.009 Frank M: It makes that happen right? So wh what do? What can we do so. One thing that I like to tell people about Mainline dental plan is that it was created with a dentist and his brother. So this is a family affair. He's the dentist, he has the knowledge.
00:37:55.150 --> 00:38:13.889 Frank M: Ryan is a stand up, transparent person, and when you follow him and you, you see all the things that he puts out on social media with his practice, his practices, perfect smiles. One thing that Ryan did to really, really stand out of the crowd years ago, and I don't know if he has a copy of it handy, but he wrote a book.
00:38:14.020 --> 00:38:38.650 Frank M: and it's called the truth TROO. TH. Like tooth the truth in dentistry, and he wrote that as the Handbook, kinda like a dentistry for dummies, if you would. And he wrote that book so he can put that knowledge in the lay person's hand before they go out. Listen, red flag alert, right? 7 7 cavities, and I feel great set red flag right? So
00:38:38.941 --> 00:38:58.928 Frank M: a treatment plan that you know you've been to the dentist you left. You moved to a new place, new dentist, and also you need this humongous treatment plan with thousands of dollars. Red flag. Right? So he put all that from a dentist standpoint, and knowing his industry same way. You know the industries that you've spent your time in, and you know what happens through. And and I have
00:38:59.508 --> 00:39:23.420 Frank M: and marketing that we try to. We try to put that out when we bring a dentist into the plan. We wanna know about that dentist, right? So we're gonna do our marketing end. And we're gonna hope that everything that we've done is gonna give our member just a little bit more of a chance walking in to that practice. And we look for feedback from our members. If a member sends that, we start getting. No, you know.
00:39:23.420 --> 00:39:47.134 Frank M: emails from members or phone calls, from members stating that you know this Dennis, is this, this Dennis, is that we have no problem taking that Dennis out of the plan. And that's what we wanna do. So we're that's thatting process, right? We want to give you some confidence that you know, utilizing the plan and going into any of the great dentists that we have in the plan. You're gonna get what you need at an affordable price and good quality dental care. So
00:39:47.410 --> 00:39:58.150 Frank M: I think that that would speak some some volumes, especially that the his book and I didn't mean to plug it on you. There, Jack. But great book, I I you know I just. I'm very proud of my brother when he wrote that book so.
00:39:59.240 --> 00:40:17.210 Jack Thomas: A a a a and and and the and the show is really meant to be a free flow, so I'm glad you could put it out there. And and and that's what it's about. It's about the biology, it's about the hacking. It's about putting this new information. Having conversations. I've been fortunate to know Frank for over 20 years.
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:37.339 Jack Thomas: and we have different relationships. And so it's if Frank says it to me. I just trust it. It's like Adrian. I just trust it. And I I think part of that also becomes our age. That yes, we know each other a long time, but by staying local and focusing local. We we know who we are and and just
00:40:37.460 --> 00:40:39.789 Jack Thomas: bringing in other good people.
00:40:40.120 --> 00:40:40.820 Frank M: In that.
00:40:41.010 --> 00:41:07.060 Frank M: Jack. That's that's the the core right there, right? It's like when you said to me, you know, Frank, I'd like to get you and your brother on this, you know, on this show. And this is what we're doing. I was like, you know, wow, you know, and whether it's hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of people. This is what our messages is that you know there's there's always a way you don't have to spend this much money to get. You know that much service.
00:41:07.060 --> 00:41:32.030 Frank M: and and it's those hacks, and that that was such a great, you know, way to look at it. It's it's figuring out a way to do it a little smarter and financially smarter for a lot of people that just don't have the means. I mean everybody you know out there, that's that's the big buzz right now with inflation and everything happening. It's, you know, not having those extra dollars. And when people take those extra dollars that they don't have because they're using them elsewhere.
00:41:32.030 --> 00:41:55.299 Frank M: They neglect, you know, their oral health care again what? What Ryan said earlier, right, the fear of the dentist and money for the dentist. Those are the 2 reasons people don't go to take care of themselves, so to be able to help eliminate one of those and get that cost under control is great. And to spread the word because I always said if we could put videos out so people could understand how this works.
00:41:55.300 --> 00:42:19.699 Frank M: It's a no brainer, and I've always said it. It's a no brainer, it it's it's simple whether you have dental insurance, and you need treatment plan, or you have no dental insurance, and you want to use an alternative. This alternative is truly a no brainer for people. And and we it makes us feel good. Every every member that's in the plan, whether they call in, whether they send emails just to know that we're helping others.
00:42:19.700 --> 00:42:41.030 Frank M: you know. I've shared it with you many times through our long friendship is that you know my purpose on this earth. I I figured that out. It's something that you know again your wellbeing. You need to know why you're here. I'm here to help others. So this is a part of what I do. It's just one more little piece, and we could do it in this particular segment in oral health. So.
00:42:42.570 --> 00:43:06.210 Jack Thomas: That's awesome. Thank thank you so much. Ryan, perfect smiles. Online, if people Google it. Perfect smiles. Is there anything else that they should be looking for for more information about your practice. If they like. Frank made reference of it. Youtube, right? Are are the things that you're looking at that others
00:43:06.240 --> 00:43:11.149 Jack Thomas: should look at that. So it adds some validity to what we're talking about today.
00:43:11.550 --> 00:43:25.279 drryanmaher: Yeah, so so perfect smiles. llc.com is the website. You'll you'll get some social media content from me at Dr. Ryan, Mar, Instagram and Facebook or perfect smiles, Llc.
00:43:25.640 --> 00:43:35.839 drryanmaher: Facebook, Instagram. And you'll see on that. That I'm I'm a normal person. I'm a human being. And when I when I do dentistry, I'm serious.
00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:41.809 drryanmaher: I I lock in and really treat every single person as if they're my family.
00:43:41.910 --> 00:43:47.340 drryanmaher: every single person it's been. If you look at my reviews, I respond to every single one of them.
00:43:47.410 --> 00:44:03.539 drryanmaher: Over 400 5,500 reviews, every single one. I've responded back to them, and all of them have something to do with. Hey? Thank you for being part of our family. So you'll see me in the light of of a possibly some funny, some serious.
00:44:03.750 --> 00:44:11.039 drryanmaher: some some different type of stuff that maybe you don't see, or Dennis doing. But I want to convey to the individual that
00:44:11.230 --> 00:44:33.829 drryanmaher: I'm a I'm a normal human being. I'm a family member I'm a brother, I'm a father, I'm a son. I'm I'm a a an uncle, I'm a cousin, I I'm a I'm a a family person that likes to have fun. Also, if you know, some people may look at Dennis as like a scientist, or, you know, some nerdy person we're. We're we're human, too. And I I wanna convey that to to people. Go ahead.
00:44:34.460 --> 00:44:43.330 Jack Thomas: So that's great. So we're about to move into break. I went a little over. So excuse my interruption. There. We're gonna pick up on family
00:44:43.410 --> 00:44:49.659 Jack Thomas: overall hygiene. That'll be the topic. Thank you so much as we move into our break.
00:46:59.230 --> 00:47:10.939 Jack Thomas: Coming back to talk radio dot. Nyc. We're at the happy spot, and we have the fortune of Ryan Marr and Frank Marr learning about affordability and oral health and hygiene.
00:47:11.310 --> 00:47:18.610 Jack Thomas: We were just coming up upon family talk. And this is the part I'm going to throw out there. It's so hard to
00:47:18.650 --> 00:47:23.129 Jack Thomas: get that through on a local international wherever you are.
00:47:23.250 --> 00:47:42.199 Jack Thomas: But I have the good fortune of knowing Frank's. Frank and Ryan's other brother. I know the history of their mom and their dad and being in the community, and how they served people. It's hard to just say that unless you feel it so hopefully you could hear those words
00:47:42.460 --> 00:47:52.660 Jack Thomas: and the sounds that we're talking about. We could hear the sweetness of what Ryan is talking about. And so I want to just kind of throw a silly idea in the mental wellness.
00:47:52.670 --> 00:47:59.166 Jack Thomas: So I'm a yogi every day I'm doing some type of practice of breathing. And
00:48:00.030 --> 00:48:00.850 Jack Thomas: you know.
00:48:01.310 --> 00:48:20.609 Jack Thomas: when I hear the oral hygiene right? You you you! You made reference of disease. Sometimes we have disease in our thoughts, in our mind. So I use a chant lately. I just want to put it in your head, and you could curse me later. Right? So those negative thoughts when they come to our mind, I recite to myself, oh, no, I think they gotta go.
00:48:21.080 --> 00:48:36.679 Jack Thomas: Oh, no, I think they gotta go now. I got that chant in college at a bar, and I still use it for my own little little thing to help myself. So, Ryan, I'm gonna add the floor back to yours. We have a few moments left here
00:48:36.680 --> 00:48:52.700 Jack Thomas: of kind of the little things that we could do for our daily habits. You mentioned one or 2. But what are some of the things putting oral on the side? I know we really touched up on it. But as a medical practitioner, what are some things to people could do for their jaw.
00:48:52.700 --> 00:49:06.120 Jack Thomas: for the Tmj. For their ears. The whole connection, it's the whole deal right is in my head. Oh, no, I think they gotta go too many voices going on your turn, Ryan.
00:49:07.040 --> 00:49:23.030 drryanmaher: Yeah. So if I have to put it on a percentage standpoint, I like to use the number 50%, I think more than 50% of people in the northeast. Let's call that Tri state area have some type of Tmd which is temporal mandibular joint dysfunction.
00:49:23.730 --> 00:49:24.590 drryanmaher: And
00:49:24.690 --> 00:49:47.154 drryanmaher: where we where we're a high level of stresses up in the northeast, where where we live, the Tri State area do. I think they're all related to that? No, it could be a bite issue. You just had some recent dentistry done. And you you, the tooth doesn't feel right. That could create actually a Tmd situation. It certainly could be stress. It could be
00:49:47.490 --> 00:50:11.420 drryanmaher: alcohol consumption. It's a big, big thing that we I'm correlating. It could be just the fact that that you. You're you're clenching. And and let's say you're at the gym, and you continue to clench those muscles are firing. See? If you can get something to alleviate that, and I don't wanna say, like a night guard over the counter, you want something a little bit more custom fitted so that you don't cause more trauma or damage.
00:50:11.420 --> 00:50:17.610 drryanmaher: But if you're in that scenario just at the gym where you're clenching, you can use something like that.
00:50:17.610 --> 00:50:26.710 drryanmaher: you know you you you really want to? Also, like, when you get knots in your neck or your back, what do we do? We go to the massage therapist.
00:50:26.710 --> 00:50:54.219 drryanmaher: Maybe the physical therapist. Maybe the chiropractor. You wanna get those people involved as well in your your temperament joint or your your musculature? The master muscle. And you don't want those firing a lot. You wanna decrease the stresses on that muscle or those muscles. So you you may want to use more than just your dentist. From that standpoint. You wanna multidisciplinary, either physical therapist or chiropractor Dennis, or the 3 of them.
00:50:54.680 --> 00:50:56.259 drryanmaher: and massage therapists too.
00:50:56.580 --> 00:51:03.429 Jack Thomas: So that's great. So a piece to throw out to you. So Greg, who's our acupuncturist, is not here today, had some other commitments.
00:51:04.030 --> 00:51:17.550 Jack Thomas: But I've been going first time going to an acupuncturist in my 57 years. He's done some great work for me, was referred to me, but the part he taught me was, there are acupuncturists that just do tongues.
00:51:18.680 --> 00:51:35.579 Jack Thomas: he said. He does. The whole body goes. He can do it, Tom, he goes. But some people just do tongues. It's that important in the care of our mouths, just kinda throwing that out there. I sometimes a wealth of completely useless information. Right. I just found it. I find it
00:51:35.630 --> 00:51:41.279 Jack Thomas: so interesting that someone with acupuncture it's it's been a fantastic thing.
00:51:41.601 --> 00:51:59.380 Jack Thomas: Frank, you you came on here today. Well, what are some pearls of wisdom you wanna leave us with? Because you've been in this industry for so long that as as from that friendship model. How? How do you want the other people to hear your your voices? We're gonna kind of move towards the end. There.
00:51:59.870 --> 00:52:06.440 Frank M: So if there's one thing that I can just get out there and you know it, it really is it? It really
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:09.600 Frank M: it almost bothers me when I think about
00:52:09.670 --> 00:52:13.279 Frank M: all of the people that don't go to a dentist.
00:52:13.520 --> 00:52:37.779 Frank M: and they they really the majority of them, really don't know what they're doing to their body. And I agree with Ryan because he knows his his trade, and you know he's a professional, and he studies constantly, and it is all about the fear, and it's also about money. But there's one thing that we didn't mention, and it's an emotion. It's embarrassment. I don't. I smile, and I'm missing teeth.
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:58.540 Frank M: I I smile, and my teeth are all crooked, or they're they're just riddled with plaque and rock because I haven't cared for them for so long. And that's okay. I want people to know. That's okay. It's a time to make a change. And that's what we are. That's what you do for people every day, Jack. I mean, I've known you so long. You're always looking to show people the light.
00:52:58.620 --> 00:53:25.850 Frank M: and this is an opportunity for me coming on today to say, Hey, it's okay, no matter how good or bad it is, you're better off getting yourself in front of a professional, and it's not just the dentist. Right? It's it's the acupuncturist, it's the psychiatrist. It's the the heart, doctor. It's your wellbeing taking care of you. There's only one of you, and you can't take care of anything around you if you don't take care of yourself first, so
00:53:25.850 --> 00:53:44.939 Frank M: put your embarrassments aside. Put your fear aside. You can ask, friends. One thing that my brother has always been known for is being a gentle dentist, and a lot of good dentists use that term, and it's the term, not only with their technique, but with their demeanor, and that they they understand the fear, and they understand how to address it.
00:53:45.270 --> 00:54:01.489 Frank M: I don't. I I was never a big fan of the dentist. I'm still not. Thankfully. I have my brother there right. But I went to a dentist long before. My brother was a dentist, because I knew that I had to to take care of myself, and that's the one message that I wanted to get out. If your listeners
00:54:01.490 --> 00:54:24.400 Frank M: want to take advantage of the the code radio on mainline dental plan.com and get some extra savings if they're if they want to look into the money if they want to reach out to me and shoot me an email at info@andmdpsmile.com. I'd be happy to answer additional questions. But what I'd like to come away with today is knowing that we help just a few more people realize the importance of your oral health.
00:54:25.720 --> 00:54:32.440 Jack Thomas: Well, I'm gonna say, thank you. Because I got confirmation. I've been brushing 2 times. So I'm good.
00:54:32.460 --> 00:54:35.460 Jack Thomas: I'm accepting the 3 times right?
00:54:35.630 --> 00:55:02.380 Jack Thomas: I had one question, though, before I we continue, it's about age. So the longevity of us living longer and in in looking at my mom at 81, and she tells me she's good, so I leave her alone. She has all our plans. But is there an age cut off on like at age 18. But if right, if I have someone who owns their business any 78 or she's 78. Do you have an age cut off, or does everybody qualify.
00:55:02.630 --> 00:55:10.810 Frank M: So, Jack, that's the best part everybody qualifies. There's no pre-existing condition clauses when you sign mainline dental plan.
00:55:11.530 --> 00:55:33.752 Jack Thomas: That's huge, everybody. So I really, really, really want everyone to kind of hear that out loud. Because it it it. We're all living longer, you know. Thank God, there is health out there and and taking care of ourselves. But when we're out there, you know, we want to be able to right eat our pizza. Right? We wanna be a phone.
00:55:34.220 --> 00:55:57.699 Jack Thomas: right? Because it's the flavor in the food of living local being local. My kids are, everyone says, Oh, your kids are out West. I said, No, no, we got good cookies and good pizza. Even. I'm originally from New York. I'm gonna go visit my mom tomorrow. Gonna see the accountant, Jersey. We got better pizza. We got better bakeries. It keeps you dent disguise keeps you busy. I get it. I'm grateful that the 2 of you were able to join today.
00:55:57.700 --> 00:56:08.929 Jack Thomas: Thank you for the insight, the information. But we're going to be rounding out the show, and I'm gonna wish everyone a great evening. Thank you for coming to the happy spot.
00:56:09.280 --> 00:56:10.730 Frank M: Thank you for having us, Jack.
00:56:10.870 --> 00:56:13.089 Frank M: That's a work, and be happy.
