10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Be sure to come early to avoid the rush, and check out the exhibits Thursdaybefore the speakers start at 6:00 p.m. It has proven to be quality one-on-one time to ask your questionsto company representatives and check out all of their latest offerings.

The ever-popular Thursday night Supplier Showcase events are back once again, offering a variety ofinteresting presentations that will include everything from dental computer software workshops, implant

restorations, direct composite, aligners, practice transition planning, laser technology and practice marketing! Don’t miss our Friday evening Tradeshow Reception, where you can visit with both exhibitors and colleagues, participate in

the silent auction fundraiser, and enjoy drinks and hors d’oeuvres. The silent auction makes an annual donation toward thedentistry-related needs of a local charity or organization. The updated total of monies raised since 2005 is over an amazing$189,000! We offer our most sincere thanks and congratulations to Ms. Gayle Faigan, TODS chair of fundraising, and her teamof volunteers for coordinating the silent auction. Please take a moment to thank Gayle and her team for their dedication and hardwork while you browse the silent auction. Funds from the 2018 TODS Meeting fundraiser were distributed between the fivecommunity dental clinics in Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon, Salmon Arm, Kamloops, and the TODS Endowment Fund. We leavea valuable legacy of our TODS Meetings when we support the silent auction, so go ahead and make a bid or check out theincredibly popular mystery wall of wine!

We continue to have overwhelmingly positive feedback about the hands-on courses offered at TODS. This year we are offeringnine workshops during the three days of the TODS Meeting with something for everyone. Please register early for these hands-on clinics, as in previous years there has been a waiting list. We are pleased to present Dr. Tassos Irinakis with implant placement;Ms. Cheri Wu, RDH, with two ultrasonic workshops; Mr. Jeff Roy from Henry Schein with dental equipment maintenance; Mr.Derek Salisbury – CPR for health-care professionals (required now for all minimal sedation) – the full course; and once again,our extremely popular provisional restorations workshop by Ms. Lian Walraven, CDA, with three workshops for certified dentalassistants. Be sure to sign up quickly as our workshops are very popular and sell out fast.

If you have any feedback or suggestions for making our TODS Meetings even better, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Afteryour last lecture on Friday afternoon, don’t forget to attend the TODS Tradeshow Reception for some of the most amazing appies!I’ll see you there!

There are many purchasers looking for a bargain when negoti-ating with a private sale. Within the last four months, we havebeen involved in three private sales. With the assistance of an

experienced dental broker, those vendors received between$100,000 to $400,000 over the original asking price. Still worriedabout paying commissions?

WHY DO SELLERS NEED A BROKER?So, you have decided to sell your practice. Technically, it is a busi-ness venture you started many years ago, to obtain and sustain anice lifestyle, while helping people with good oral health. Some-where between year one and year 25, this practice became like fam-ily. And now, you want to sell your family.

In addition to the emotional stress of selling your practice, it isimperative you maintain that level of success during the salesprocess. This can be easily achieved by keeping your focus on yourpractice and patients. The sales aspect will be handled for you by thebroker. Once the evaluation is complete and you have a fair marketvalue for your practice, the process can begin. In a private sale, thepurchaser has been selected… and that is only the beginning.

Selling a dental practice is not as straightforward as it may firstappear. Do you want your staff and patients to know the practice ison the market? Contracts, valuations, and accounting and tax con-siderations can overwhelm even the most business-oriented dentist.Professional guidance facilitates a successful sale at a fair price. Theprocess starts with a valuation that can be completed by your brokeror an outside agency specializing in dental practice valuations. Con-sidering the valuation, pricing right for the market can determinewhether or not prospective purchasers even consider your practice.

By utilizing a broker, you can maintain confidentiality and min-imize the disruption to your practice routine. Involving a third partyreduces liability and avoids misrepresentation that may uninten-tionally arise when you are emotionally involved in the sale of yourpractice. A good broker will look after the details: completing thevaluation, showing the practice, qualifying potential purchasers, andanswering their questions. Potential purchasers sign a confidential-ity agreement prior to any information being released. Showingsoccur after hours, so as not to disrupt the operation of the practice.

Brokering in Canada is a regulated profession. Brokers will ne-gotiate the sale and facilitate the transition. When necessary theycan refer you to other qualified professionals, such as bankers,lawyers, and accountants that specialize in the dental market whichfacilitates closing the sale.

BUYERS BENEFIT WHEN A BROKER IS INVOLVEDAs a buyer, it is difficult to know what is available. With confiden-tiality a priority on both sides, finding opportunities can be a chal-lenge. Dental brokers are experts at valuating and selling dental

practices. Dealing with someone exclusive in the dental field willgive you the best results in achieving the best transition. Brokers as-sist throughout the purchasing process. They can help with dentalpractice valuations/dental appraisals, due diligence, referrals to rep-utable professionals, cash flow analysis, strategic consulting, financ-ing options, and more. They will help you make an informeddecision.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE A BROKER TO SELL MY PRACTICEIN A PRIVATE SALE?The time frame to sell is individual. A very general guideline is be-tween one to four months. The length of time it takes depends uponthe type of practice, its financial performance, location, price, terms,and local market conditions. The time varies based on the time tocomplete the due diligence; chart audit, equipment inspections, andlegal and accounting reviews. In addition, the timeline is dependanton the amount of notice needed to be given at their current practice.

WHERE DO I FIND A BROKER?Dental brokers are best found based on experience, ethics, and edu-cation. There are consultants that facilitate practice sales, but are notlicensed brokers. Credible dental practice brokers are approved by fi-nancial institutions, advertised in dental journals, seen supporting localdental association fundraisers, and speaking and networking at localdental meetings. Referrals from happy colleagues are a good startingpoint. Preparation yields the greatest results. An experienced dentalpractice broker will bring the best outcome in a private sale, while al-lowing you to focus on your business, caring for your patients.

Henry Doyle and Al Heaps are both licensedbrokers with the full-service brokerage Al Heaps& Associates Inc., dealing exclusively with den-tal practices. They are active members of realestate councils and are corporately registeredfrom B.C. to Quebec. They are members of thePacific Dental Trade Association and the DentalIndustry Association of Canada. Al Heaps & As-

sociates Inc. has over 25 years of experience in the dental field. Theyhave offices in B.C., Alberta, and Ontario, servicing across Canada.They can be reached at 1-866-638-6194 or [email protected].

By Henry Doyle

Health care has entered a time when many factors are con-tributing to the emergence of the “perfect storm”. While westruggle with health-care associated infections (HAIs) in var-

ious health-care facilities, we do so with an expanding population ofthe more vulnerable aging patients and new emerging pathogens,all while faced with increasingly ineffective treatments due to an-timicrobial resistance. The need for increased infection preventioncapability is critical.

One of those capabilities that has been expanding is more ef-fective decontamination of hands, surfaces, and items in health-carefacilities. Multiple studies have revealed that surfaces and multi-usedevices in these facilities are readily contaminated with pathogensand opportunistic microorganisms (Hota 2004; Boyce 2007; Weber2010; Weber 2013; Sexton 2015). These surfaces function aspathogen reservoirs; sources for the spread of HAIs. In fact, Weber,et al. stated that, “In some cases, the extent of patient-to-patienttransmission has been found to be directly proportional to the levelof environmental contamination. Improved cleaning/disinfection ofenvironmental surfaces and hand hygiene have been shown to re-duce the spread of all of these pathogens.” (Weber 2010). It has alsobeen shown that pathogens form biofilms on surfaces enabling themto multiply, share antibiotic resistance encoded genes with otherbacteria, and survive for long periods within their protective biofilmmatrix (Vickery 2012; Yezli 2012; Otter 2015).

So, what can we do about this “perfect storm”? One such com-pany is battling the storm head on, and answers questions that need tobe asked when researching the best disinfectant to meet your needs.• What pathogens is the disinfectant effective in fighting?• What is the active ingredients of the disinfectant?• What is the wet contact time required?• Is wiper sufficiently saturated to cover surface?• Does the wiper have a sufficient course surface to be effective on

dried organic residue?• Is the disinfectant an effective cleaner?• Is it just for flat environmental surfaces?• Is it safe for acrylic, brass, chrome, copper, painted surfaces, and

plastics?AMRAK Healthcare Canada Inc. is the sole master distributor for

Micro-Scientific® health-care products sold in Canada, namelyMicro-Kleen3. With more than 27 years of professional sales, mar-keting, and manufacturing experience specializing in infection pre-vention and control, AMRAK HealthCare Canada is uniquely qualifiedto serve all your IPAC needs, and Micro-Kleen3 fits the bill perfectly.

Micro-Scientific®, a division of Weiman Products, LLC, contin-ues its more than 35-year tradition of supplying and marketing prod-ucts used for the prevention of microbial transmission andcross-contamination.

Monitored by, and in close contact with governmental regula-tory agencies such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC),U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Food and DrugAdministration (FDA), Health Canada (HC), Occupational Safety andHealth Administration (OSHA), and U.S. Department of Transporta-tion (USDOT), Micro-Scientific® assures that its products meet thenewest, up-to-date guidelines and regulations.

So, battling the storm just got easier. You now have a solution tocombat the critical need for increased infection prevention and con-trol in your facility.

Whether you are starting your first dental practice, movingyour established clinic into a bigger space, or updatingyour existing clinic, a dental building project can seem

overwhelming. With a portfolio of over 50 clinics throughout theThompson Okanagan, Chriscan Construction has established itself asthe go-to company for tenant improvement projects for profession-als. The expert project management team at Chriscan have com-piled a list of five tips to help you manage your upcoming dentaloffice build.

KNOW YOUR BUDGETKnowing your budget is more than just planning a dollar figure tospend. Knowing your budget means establishing whether yourplanned dollar figure is realistic. The best way to establish a realisticbudget is to speak with a professional with experience building andmanaging projects of a similar scale. Dental offices have manyunique requirements that will need special attention in your budg-eting phase. Having a complete design from an experienced de-signer will enable you to achieve a far more comprehensive financialplan. This, and an experienced contractor can help you to avoid un-expected expenses and delays along the way.

THINK ABOUT COORDINATIONThere are many moving parts within a dental building project thatwill necessitate detailed planning and coordination. Strong projectmanagement will create a smooth project from start to finish help-ing you to avoid surprises. Unlike most other construction projects,subtrades are often required to work in conjunction to keep thingsmoving smoothly and efficiently. Strong project management willkeep your project on schedule and on budget.

DEVELOP A REALISTIC TIMELINEIt is important that you work through the dental building process inthe proper order and speed. It all begins with the search for a loca-

tion for your new clinic. Try to make sure that the required design,permit, and construction time will not exceed your allotted fixturingperiod. This must be considered before you sign a lease. Solid or-ganization will go far in keeping your project on time.

RENOVATING AND/OR EXPANDING WHILE KEEPING THEDOORS OPENIf you are expanding an existing office, it is possible to continue op-erating throughout the construction phase. Understanding the ele-ments of this decision and the impact construction will have on yourworkflow is important. Get an expert involved to establish a com-prehensive construction schedule which will help you prepare forthe inconveniences a renovation might bring.

PLAN EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENTSpeak with your employees about their wants and needs in yournew clinic. This will help maximize the efficiency of your new spaceand can make for a great teambuilding exercise. Ensure your staff hasa realistic understanding of how the upcoming project will affecttheir day-to-day operation.

Oral Rinses with CHX, Xylitol and CPCPerioPlus Extra Strength #2 great for moderate- to high-risk caries patients

PerioPlus Extra Strength #2 is a novel alcohol-free oral rinse ideally suited formoderate-to-high risk caries patients. Due to a synergistic combination ofxylitol, CPC, and CHX at a low concentration, ingredients produce

a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity.In contrast to other CHX only formulations, PerioPlus Extra Strength

#2 contains minimal side effects such as taste impair-ment and staining. In addition to great taste, an ex-tremely high compliance is achieved which furtherenhances the therapeutic results.

Why do professionals in so many dentalpractices across Canada use PerioPlus ExtraStrength #2? For more than 27 years, dentalprofessionals continue to trust in PerioPlus ExtraStrength #2 due to a formulation that safely in-hibits the over-colonization of oral bacterialwhich can lead to plaque/caries formation andthe onset of periodontal disease.

Following the use of PerioPlus Extra Strengthas a treatment rinse and, once oral hygiene hasimproved, most dental professionals switch toPerioPlus Anti-Cavity #1. With a similar butless concentrated formula, patients can thenbenefit with daily, long-term use, and optimizetoward total oral care.

When Will You Really Be Ready?Some key questions need to be answered before you take the plunge

At some point, you will be selling your practice. It is afact. But what will be the trigger? Will it simply be theright time, burnout, or illness? In my position at ROI

Corporation, I have the privilege of speaking with ownersacross the country every day. Most often, the conversation isabout when this key event should take place. People mayhave their offices in very different communities, face a vari-ety of economic challenges and have diverse philosophies topractice. But one thing is certain, the following questions arethe same regardless of your age, gender, or stage of career. • Why do you really want to sell? • Will you completely retire or would you like to stay

working a day or two a week? • What are your plans after you sell?• Does ownership define who you are?

The last question is probably the most important. Regard-less of the reason for selling, how you define yourself – yourrole, your life, and your practice will determine how easy itis for you to proceed and go through the process of selling.Finding a buyer is easy as it is still a seller’s market. Key fac-tors in the market have definitely changed which directly im-pact the final sale price such as “who is buying?” How mucha buyer is willing to pay? And of course the unknown factors– increase in interest rates and federal tax changes.

One of the most challenging aspects about selling, in myopinion, can be the vendor. The happiest vendor is the onewho calls us and says they are ready to list. This scenario canbe a trifle misleading because he/she has done all the hardwork and has already gone through two or three years of de-cision making to reach this point. However, most vendors

who call us are not at that point. Selling a practice that youmay have owned for a number of years is a daunting thought.You are not just selling the bricks and mortar, but also thelong-time relationships with patients, staff, and very impor-tantly, your routine. Regardless of whether you are tired withthe management of the office, politics of the profession, orany other reasons, you still have a routine you follow withoutgiving a second thought.

We want to assure you that there is life after selling yourpractice. There are many new opportunities and adventuresthat life can offer you if you are willing to open yourself tosee them. Every major event brings fear and trepidation, butwe want you to know that we will not only help you sell prof-itability, but also with dignity. It never hurts to explore youroptions and we are always pleased to listen and provide ourexperience.

On a final note, a little bit of fear is okay. Remember howyou felt walking into your first extraction?
