Back in July, there was a meeting called the Ladies of the Mill Summit. This yearly meeting is all about celebrating and supporting females in the dental laboratory industry. Full of motivating and inspiring speakers, Elvis got to record with a bunch of attendees at the Preat booth. First up is half of the owners of Likelike Dental Studios, Carrie Ling. Carrie talks about getting their lab started in a shed, growing it with her husband, and where they are at now. Then we talk to two technicians from Renstrom Dental Studio, Sandra Nohava and Courtney Bennett. These two talk about the different labs they worked at, the unique way they connected and then connected again at their current lab, and why they came to the Ladies of the Mill Summit. Then Elvis walks away from the recording gear to let 5 technicians have their own conversation.  Dani Farago, MacKenzie Mayer, Katie Boteler, Nina Frketin, &amp; Jenelle Tabakovic talk about themselves, the industry, the meeting, and the power of encouraging each other. It’s a ladies takeover of the podcast.

Jenelle Tabaković

We love to talk to people that are so passionate about dental labs that they take their unique weirdness and turn it into a business that gives other technicians exactly what they want. Jenelle Tabaković and MacKenzie Mayer are both removable technicians with different career paths. But they didn’t like the options of clothing for dental technicians. After a lot of planning and hard work they have now created a huge following of technicians that share their passion, weirdness, and toothcreepness. They come on the podcast to talk about getting into the industry, meeting each other on Instagram, and building a business they both do out of love for their profession. Plus plenty of fart jokes. It’s a lot of fun that no one should miss.

They are close to record highs on gold and palladium. With those high precious metal prices, you are paying a high cost for your alloys. We know that you are using less Precious metal in your lab these days, but if you send in half of what you sent in 5 years ago ,your scrap return will be higher than it was 5 years ago ,because of the high PM prices . You owe it to yourself to find a trusted, reputable refining company. Look no further! Kulzer refining has been tested, trusted and reputable for over 100 years. They burn, melt and assay all under one roof at their state-of-the-art refining facility in Wartburg Tennessee. They have doubled their production capacity to ensure your scrap return within 2 weeks. With all the non-precious material that has become present in today’s restorations it is important that we ensure the assay sample is homogenous. At Kulzer, they take the extra step to X-ray the top and bottom after they melt the bar to make sure the precious metal percentages--- are the same. If not, copper is added until they are positive the bar is homogeneous. We know this step is very important to get a precise assay result. Their reimbursement to the customer is after our 10% refining fee. They have zero additional fees. If you need any free shipping containers, which contain a UPS prepaid, full insured label, please visit mydental360.com/refining or call the Director of Precious Metal Refining, Tony Circelli, directly at (914) 906-1843.Special Guests: Jenelle Tabaković and MacKenzie Mayer.
