"Do Dentistry, Not Time."

Dr. Roy Shelburne has a PhD in "learning the hard way." On August 20, 2008, he didn't just lose his freedom by presenting himself to prison after being found guilty of Healthcare Fraud, Racketeering and Money Laundering—he gained an education that no dental school could ever offer. After serving his time and walking out on May 14, 2010, Dr. Shelburne made it his mission to make sure no one else in dentistry learns those lessons the hard way.

This eye-opening, laughter-sprinkled, truth-bomb-dropping course reveals how meticulous records can be your best defense (and best offense) in dentistry. You'll discover why, in the eyes of the law, if it's not in the record, it didn't happen. Not the procedure, not the conversation, not the consent—nothing. And guess what? The danger applies to everyone on the team, not just the doc.
You'll learn how careful, complete, and consistent documentation isn't just about compliance—it's about protection, peace of mind, and yes, proper payment. Think of it as "defensive charting for dental warriors."

Learning Objectives:
- Have a blast while learning — because protecting your practice doesn't have to be painful.
- Discover what you don't know (before it hurts you) — ignorance isn't bliss, it's a liability.
- Master the art of bulletproof records — ones that can protect, defend, and speak for you when you can't.
