Dr. John Khademi and Dr. Eric Herbranson join Alan to talk about the state of endodontics, conserving dentin and how we know what we know.

I got to know Dr. John Khademi in the mid-2000's from Dental Town. I was introduced to Dr. Eric Herbranson in 2011 at the Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry where he talked about the 3D Tooth Atlas he had created. Both are influential endodontists who have controversial ideas about how we've been treating teeth over the years.

Today's episode features a journey from patient based outcomes to case selection, access openings to how we know what we know. There's a fair amount of hero worship here I've been a huge fan of these guys for quite some time. And a bonus...the one and only Dr. David Clark of Bioclear sits down at the end and talks endo!

If you like endo (or even if you don't), this interview will change the way you look at saving teeth!

Jordon Comstock of Boomcloud joins Jason and Alan to talk about office membership plans for patients!

Have you ever considered offering a membership plan? Many patients feel like they can't come to the dentist without some kind of plan. Many dental offices are enrolling patients in these plans, but how do you administer one of these without adding to your front office's headaches? Jordon Comstock, serial entrepreneur, one time dental lab manager and founder of Boomcloud explains why he started his company and why dentists should be taking advantage of membership plans!
