Asking the Right Questions with Dr. Darin Dichter Encore Edition

Jason and Alan sat down to talk with Dr. Darin Dichter from Spear Education. They were taking the 3-day Occlusion Workshop and Darin was one of the instructors. This wide ranging discussion is spectacular and covers:

• Occlusion philosophies
• Dental School
• Continuing education and the struggle to implement ("getting reps")
• Student loan debt
• Not all dentists are clinicians!
• Critical thinking and understanding the literature
• Being a nontraditional student and perspective outside of school
• What is a terminal dentition, when do you know how to treat it and what's the "Treating the Terminal Dentition" course all about?
