Why Pete Writes as a Patient
Pete isn’t a clinician — and that’s the point of the Patient Perspective series. After 25 years advising dental practices on the business and equipment side, he sits in the patient chair like everyone else, and writes about what he sees, asks, and learns there: what questions are worth asking about a procedure, how new dental technology actually changes a visit, and what a treatment plan looks like from the other side of the headrest.
Affiliate & Industry Disclosure
Pete’s day job is Director of Strategic Accounts at DCI Edge, a manufacturer of dental chairs, unit lights, and cabinets. When an article on this site discusses DCI Edge equipment, that relationship is disclosed directly in the piece. Toothbrush Experts primarily monetizes through affiliate relationships — like Susan’s BURST Ambassador program — not through Pete’s role at DCI Edge, and Pete does not receive compensation tied to his DCI Edge role for anything published here.
