Any moment in time
Could be the
Chance of a lifetime…
This is one of those moments!
What if you could have an
extra income stream which:
1. Is a business you understand completely...
2. Provides you $150,000 a year in additional
NET income...
3. Operates on its own without you being
present...
4. Does not require any additional equipment,
office space or staff apart from what you
have now...
5. Funds your retirement program and gives
you freedom from disability worries...
6. Is fun and satisfying to operate without
adding to your current work load...
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?
If it’s already been done before...
Then it must be possible!
IT IS POSSIBLE!
I and many other dentists around the country
already operate this remarkable business.
Dear Colleague,
I’m Dr. Rich Erickson, a dentist just
like you (I’m the one with the hat on). I
became financially independent and
100% debt free because of the income
from this business and now you can
have this same financial opportunity. I
am the original developer of the in-office
Dental Assistant Training School and
have operated ours since 1987.
In these next few minutes, I hope to
open your eyes to the possibilities.
Change is GOOD, change is FUN. This
business is FUN and REWARDING.

Teach Dental Assisting
for Fun and PROFIT!
A NET INCOME of $150K from this business is the
equivalent of adding $500k in PRODUCTION to your
practice with only 1/10 the effort. Your staff does most of
the work!
Should you become disabled from practicing, dentistry,
you can still operate this business, providing you with a
potential DISABILITY INCOME of $150K a year, and the
“insurance premiums” cost you nothing. How much
would disability insurance premiums cost you for an
actual $150K policy?
Dental Assisting can easily be incorporated into your practice
to provide you with an additional $150,000 a year using a business
model you already know. The overhead from this business is very
different from your dental practice, it is only about 15%!
Our program is light years ahead of any other dental assisting program on
the market. Our custom designed teaching program uses state-of-the-art
PowerPoint graphics with embedded DVD videos to make teaching for you
or your staff a breeze to learn.
Ask your assistants if they would rather teach using this presentation
or would they prefer to sit in front of 30 students, ad-libbing and fumbling
like our competitor’s program would have you do! It’s your choice!
Sit back, and just imagine what this
new income source could do for you!
Why pay up to $40,000 for other teaching programs
and struggle with implementation. Get the best and
make your retirement dreams a reality!

The following slides are actual sample slides from the course lecture
material. Using this state-of-the-art technology and our course
materials, teaching becomes a breeze for your assistants to do. All
documents, forms, teaching aids, A-V lecture materials, instruction
manuals have been custom designed to easily set up and operate
this teaching program.
Just think, when you drive by your office on Saturday and see the
parking lot full of students with your assistants operating the course,
you can just smile with satisfaction, knowing your future financial
independence is assured. I know, I invented this program and have
been doing it for 18 years.
Rich Erickson, MS, DDS
Your staff can teach this program without you, and they
will love doing it. You have the potential to earn an
additional $150,000 a year, with a business you already
know and an overhead of only 18%.
Unlike dentistry, this business runs
without you being there!
The following slides are from our lecture material. All of
the audio-visual lecture material is in PowerPoint™ with
over 350 PowerPoint slides and over 50 embedded
video clips of different procedures. These videos
segments are formatted to play automatically after the
appropriate slide in the presentation. The instructor
simply clicks the mouse to go from slide, to video and
back to slide. It could not be easier! Let’s look at some

Dental Implants
Dental implants are in the realm of oral surgery
Implants are placed in the area of missing
teeth
The implant is made of titanium and becomes
an artificial root for a crown or bridge

months; (B) the ABUTMENT is placed on the

Comments From Our Past Students:
"I really enjoyed all of it, from the teachers to the learning and the hands-on participation. The
classes were very interesting and was sorry to see it end."
B.T., Stone Mountain
"It's been a very interesting 10 weeks of class. At first I felt like there was so much to take in
and learn. I've learned a lot and was surprised to find out that I really enjoyed the course. I had a
wonderful time."
J.G., Marietta
"The class was very enjoyable. The instructors were very patient if a student was having
problems with a particular section of the course. They even stayed late to give extra help with the hands-
on training. It was a great experience for me."
G.R. Decatur
"I really enjoyed this course and am sorry to see it come to an end. I am really looking forward
to my career in Dental Assisting and have learned a lot during this ten week program. I wish to thank you,
Dr. Erickson, for the wonderful job you and your staff demonstrated for our class. You have all been a great
influence and wonderful motivators and I want you to know how much I appreciate your dedication."
A. W., Riverdale
"The Dental Assisting Program has been a wonderful class for me because it has given me a
different insight into a field that I have wanted to pursue for years. The class has been so enjoyable and
not so serious that I was confused. The instructors were great and they each had their own way of
teaching which made it more interesting. I have enjoyed each day of class. Thanks again."
C. T. Atlanta
"Thanks for opening doors for people like myself who have dreamed about becoming a dental
assistant. The classes were great and I feel that you all do a great job in teaching all the necessary
essentials of dental assisting. Keep up the good work."
