Dental Alements

We talk needles, numbing and passing gas with Teacher Tina RDH.  Tina Clarke shares some of her insight on teaching dental anesthesia, and how it could be an asset to allow dental assistants to take on the task (with coursework, of course). Tina also takes a comedic turn and reveals how something small can leave a big impact.
You can find more information on Tina and her courses on her website Teachertinardh.com
And speaking of coursework, make sure to check out our new grad course through rootUon.com!
 

The illustrious and colorful Rob tells his story of the journey of collecting garbage to collecting money for the dental office, and catching an embezzler along the way.  A must listen on how to watch for those yellow flags in any business, and how to play Texas Hold 'Em

Cindy and April are coming to you from the Pacific NW to give their perspective on what is happening during the forest fires.  And to lighten the mood and show we aren't really perfect, some bloopers are thrown into the mix!  Thanks Cindy for the unedited memories!

Dental Professionals are under pressure now more than ever. Our patients are also under more stress and feeling isolated. We are often the only socialization they are getting. 
On today's episode we chat with Dawnell Laymon, EFDA who has launched a podcast called Seriously Sober. Dawnell shares her personal story with us and we discuss the importance of mental health in dentistry for both clinicians and patients.
 
 

In this episode April and Cindy discuss who their mentors were & how they helped them in their dental careers. April sings a lullabuy and Cindy gets fired from editing. But seriously, mentorships are important so listen in to hear how mentors can shape your future as well. Cheers!
 

April talks wine and words of wisdom with Sarah, a force of nature in the dental world!  Her side gig is one that makes it easy to unwind!  April also gets Sarah's point of view on the ever evolving landscape of dentistry, and how the scenery is about to change.

In this cosmic episode, April and Cindy discuss why boring checklists, systems, and protocols are important for success.  Also, April teaches us how to properly fill out a referral slip and how listening to Pink Floyd can cause beer bellies.
