So how important is continuing education in our career? How important is it for the young dentist to find a mentor, someone that can provide invaluable practical advice? And what does it take to find a good mentor? We'll be asking our guest Dr. Devin McClintock these questions as she shares her experiences on some of the best ways to enjoy and excell in dentistry. Dr. McClintock graduated with honors from the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine.

Today we're going to address the age-old question, how do we increase patience acceptance of our treatment plans?

Ella has over 16 years of experience as a dental hygienist and restorative dental partner. She is the co-founder of Converge Dental, a company that helps dental practices succeed and grow, emphasizing the importance of an organized, systematic approach to improved patient care and profitability.

So what do we mean by profit over production or even profit first. Doesn't this go against everything we're about as healthcare providers. Well, maybe not. Because working really hard and having little left over at the end of the week is not a sustainable situation nor is it good for your practice, employees or your patients. So lets talk with Dr. Julie Woods. She's a board-certified periodontist and has been practicing since graduating from Baylor College of Dentistry in 2004. Her book, Profit Over Production: Understand Dental Business and Choose Your Practice Destiny, was released in September 2023 and is still an Amazon best-seller.

She has had amazing success with arresting, regenerating and saving teeth through noninvasive means. We are very happy to have her share some of the work she is doing in the area of prevention and minimally invasive dentistry.

As a dental healthcare provider, are you feeling overwhelmed or burnt out? Do you have days where you're so exasperated with so many different things in your practice that you wonder how you can keep going to work every day. Well, according to many experts, you are not alone... So the question is what can you do to make things better, feel more fulfilled about your career and be, just plain happier? Well, it may not be as difficult as you may think to turn things around. To help us put this all in perspective and give us some real life recommendations into how to enjoy dentistry again is our guest Dr. Josie Dovidio, a dentist with 22 years experience and a certified wellness consultant.

Dentures are something we've been making patients for a very long time. Some of us are still doing it the old fashioned way and there's certainly nothing wrong with that.

It cannot be overstated how important it is for the dentist to perform regular oral cancer exams on all patients. We've heard it many times, "early detection of cancer is critical for a favorable prognosis."

Dr. Kamal served as Medical Director of LabCorp’s Dianon Laboratory and as Chief Medical Officer for PLUS Diagnostics.

When working on a primary tooth, how do we decide between indirect or direct pulp cap therapy? What about a pulpotomy or even an extraction? And if we can save the tooth, what are the best materials to use over a vital pulp? To tell us all about it is Dr. Carla Cohn. She has a ton of experience in this as she is a GP who only treats children.

In the past, we didn't have many choices when it came to CAD CAM blocks. But today we do. In this episode, we'll be talking to a dentist who is well aware that Zr wins the strength contest but he has plenty of reasons to stay the course with LiSi. He specifically prefers a specific Lithium Disilicate bloc that saves him the step of firing after chairside milling.

One of the common procedures we do as dentists is remove teeth. And for most us, it's a fairly routine procedure.

Cornelia has been instrumental in transitioning their practice from analog to digital and has gained great expertise in keeping their practice on course and successful in the realm of digital dentistry.

When it comes to infection control, do we just go back to what we were doing before COVID? Do we use the same masks, gloves and PPE and follow the same pre-pandemic IC protocol? How safe are our offices right now regarding the spread of disease? To answer these questions and more is our guest, Dr. Karson Carpenter, a practicing dentist, OSHA approved trainer and serves as president of Compliance Training Partners.

Only a year ago, Dr. Miles Cone, a respected prosthodontist and educator, made the big leap from analog to digital dentistry.

The advantage of piezo-surgery is multi-faceted. It's ideal for minimizing patient discomfort following virtually all oral surgery procedures. It many cases it obviates the need to create a surgical flap, helps protect adjacent teeth and restorations during extractions, precisely cuts hard tissue while precluding injury to soft tissue. When cutting, it produces negligible heat which is critical in maintaining vitality of adjacent tissue.

He is a practicing endodontist and senior clinical faculty and lecturer at Harvard School of Dental Medicine for the past 27 years.

Until recently, Dr. Sarah Winter, who runs a cosmetic focused practice in La Jolla CA, used two different composite systems for her direct restorative cases. She used a micro-filled composite for her anterior cases for high polishability and a bulk fill for her posterior cases which provided lots of strength. But recently, she found one material that actually does both, offering strength and esthetics. According to Dr. Winter, this newer material has made her life and her staff's a whole lot easier. Today we'll talk about her transition to this new restorative composite.
