Very Dental: Decision Fatigue and "Burning the Boats" with Dr. Richard Low
Dr. Richard Low joined Alan at Voices of Dentistry and the meeting was closing down. Richard was into dental podcasts early. He helped the one and only Dr. Howard Farran create one of the biggest dental podcast phenomena back in the mid 'oughts and then created the gigantic "" which has changed countless young dentists' lives! They talk about why it's OK to give your best stuff away for free on podcasts (spoiler: it's because it's REALLY hard to implement stuff without help). Some of the highlights: Richard and Al's go to podcast listens What's the BEST time to have a hygiene appointment if you don't want to have dental work done? How did Richard "burn the boats" on all-on-4? All the things that Al doesn't want to do (and how important it is to know that) Is Al going to retire and work in a prison?

AME: Hidden Red Flags and Paper Bags with Dr. Melissa Zettler
Dr. Melissa Zettler co-hosts the Alan Mead Experience to talk about the cases we remember. You know the ones...98% of your day is perfect but you only remember the case that the patient wasn't thrilled with. Dentistry is hard. Non-dentists think it's no different than cutting hair or doing nails. I think this is why dentists need other dentists. Or at least need to listen to other dentists bitching about the stuff that we deal with on a day to day basis. They also discuss being a transplant to Minnesota, fix a broken car vs. get a new one and m-mid-90's hazing rituals at the University of Minnesota.

Very Dental: Taking Control of Your Dental Social Media Habit with Dr. Dennis Hartlieb
"The format (of social media) isn't set up for teaching." -Dr. Dennis Hartlieb A few weeks ago I sat down on the swing that we have in our front yard and recorded a . Bottom line...if you're a regular dentist doing regular dentistry, that's enough. Social media isn't real and it isn't real life. Dr. Dennis Harblieb saw this and wanted to talk about it on his podcast, so we had a conversation! The conversational roller coaster consisted of: Dental photography is important for dentists. Instagram photography isn't realistic for most of us. Al's "super bloody gums" Instagram Just because Michael Jordan was a "once in an era" talent that doesn't mean that the rest of the players in the NBA had to hang it up. Execute to the best of your own ability Has social media made dentists less likely to save teeth? Just because so much of what we see on social media is the big and fancy stuff doesn't mean that people don't need plain old general dentistry Social media pushes us to put our best face forward vs. what's actually happening in our life Choose your times for social media and do it for entertainment Don't go on social media when you're in an emotionally down time...it can be self administered poison Social media isn't really set up for teaching.

Very Dental: Dr. Frank Spear on Dentists Telling Stories

Very Dental: Dr. Frank Spear on Dentists Telling Stories
The 2023 Spear Summit is happening right this very moment and unfortunately, Al wasn't there this time. Some amazing podcast conten has been created over the years at this meeting. So in celebration of our friends at Spear Education having their summit, we're throwing back to the very first "face to face" podcast interview I ever did with Dr. Frank Spear at the 2019 Spear Summit. IT's a little bit of time travel because this discussion happened before the pandemic, before masking and before Zoom meetings became a way of life. I think you'll find it pretty interesting. "Jason and Alan had the privilege of sitting down with the one and only Dr. Frank Spear. We had an hour during the Spear Summit to pick up where we left off from and it was very interesting. Frank opened the meeting with a talk that discussed the stories that dentists tell each other about where the profession is going and then presented some data that suggests a lot of these stories aren't exactly true. Some of the things we discussed: Why do insurance companies cover things so differently from state to state? The beauty of practicing in groups. But not necessarily a DSO. Could someone become Frank Spear in the way that Frank did considering student debt as it is now? How did beautiful temporaries make a difference in Frank's career? Why does Frank feel responsible to help the narrative that dentists tell each other? What's the data the Frank would really like to see? Why is it so impossible to compare dental businesses and income across the country? How can you compare apples to apples? Take home message: things are better than dentists are telling themselves!

Very Dental: The Interesting Journey of Dr. Ed Feinberg
Alan had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ed Feinberg at Janary's Voices of Dentistry meeting. Ed is a restorative dentist and teacher who has one of most interesting stories we've ever heard on the Very Dental podcast! Ed's been practicing dentistry since 1977 and went into practice with his dad (Dr. Elliot Feinberg)...a pioneer in FMR and restorative dentistry and now Ed practices in Peoria, AZ! Ed's 100,000 photos and cases traced back to the 1950's! Ed doesn't struggle with recurrent decay because of his 3d tooth preparation techniques and subgingival placement of margins on uncut tooth structure The "Mason tooth jar" concept of crown margins "Butt joint margins cannot be sealed" and why zirconia crowns are prone to recurrent decay The lost art of casting metal and how Ed has started using milled metal restorations! Copper band impressions (aka: impressioning the root surface below the margin) "There's never enough time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over." Why model work matters (and why they should be doing model work in dental school) Multiple appointments allow for a "fresh set of eyes." What did Ed's practice look like? How implants changed the "crown and bridge" practice Ed's "ground game" marketing his practice Some links from the show: Join the using the password "Timmerman," Hornbrook" or "McWethy," or "Lipscomb!"
