Melissa has taken a TON of CE in order to learn how to do AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE as quickly as possible. She thinks that there was a lot of pressure to be a super dentist early in her career. She did this and it was disruptive to her family life and can be a financial strain. The big message...slow your roll.

Dr. Lance Timmerman joins Kevin and Zach again, this time to talk about what he's changed his mind about business.

It turns out that Lance isn't fond of a giant, hygiene-centric practice. After COVID he found that dental hygiene barely covered its own overhead and he definitely didn't enjoy it.

Today is a throwback episode featuring Kevin, Zach and Al talking about how they've evolved on caries removal. It's a classic and I hope you enjoy it!

Original show notes: 

Dr. Alan Mead of the DentalHacks podcast was gracious enough to join us again this week.

And we start off with old school internet videos:

Bonus:   He got a web redemption!  

 

 

Then we got into some hot caries removal talk.

  • What burs do you use?
  • To dye, or not to dye?
  • Do you "leave" any caries? Why or why not?

Caries removal is a divisive topic. Did we get it right? Wrong? Let us know in the Very Clinical Facebook group!

Today's throwback episode features a discussion on when to throw in the towel. Keep restoring or moving to a different kind of plan is a big deal these days. The guys have thoughts.

Also...the baseball talk is 3 years out of date. FYI.

Previous show notes:

We open with a full 11 minutes on baseball so if you just want the dental chat, start the podcast a few minutes in.  

This week we have a short chat on terminal dentition.

What is terminal dentition?  How hard is it to make that call?

Is it harder to make that call when you’ve seen the patient for 10+ years then a new patient?

When do you quit restoring?

What clinical criteria vs. patients health vs. financial considerations go into the decision?

How is your comfort level with dentures, extractions, pre-prosthetic surgery, etc?  Does that factor into your personal choice of whether to recommend dentures vs restorations.

Please join the Very Clinical Facebook group to discuss this episode and much much more!

It turns out that we've changed our minds about our lives as well. Heavy stuff, to be sure.

Today's episode continues the series for Zach and Kevin where they talk to some experienced dentists about what things they've changed their mind about over the years. Today's episode features a discussion with Al about some things we've changed our minds about life in general.

  • Zach has changed his mind about saving money for retirement. It's dumb to wait to do the cool stuff when you're retired.
  • Al changed his mind about being fat. NOW is the time to pay attention to your health. It's way better not being fat.
  • Kevin changed his mind about diet and exercise. He moves his body every day.
  • Al changed his mind about waiting. Don't wait.
  • Zach changed his mind about paying attention. Zach doesn't pay attention to current events now (outside of sports) and his mental health is so much better for it. What can you control?
  • Kevin changed his mind about stuff vs. experiences. Experiences are better than getting stuff.

Today's episode features a discussion with Al about some things we've changed our minds about business, management and our dental practices!

  • Al has changed his mind about demographics. They are important and there are places that you can practice that are easier than others.
  • Kevin changed his mind about block/priority scheduling. Adding this has made all of the difference. 
  • Zach changed his mind about less expensive procedures. Scheduling productivity is important.
  • Al has changed his mind about creating urgency. Having less hours available makes patients less likely to fail appointments.
  • Kevin changed his mind about EFDA's. EFDA's make Kevin's office work. "Other people can be good with arts and crafts."
  • Kevin changed his mind about offering the best treatment. "Let your patients say 'yes' to your best care."

If you've been practicing dentistry for awhile, you've probably changed your mind about some stuff. Today's episode starts an interesting series for Zach and Kevin where they talk to some experienced dentists about what things they've changed their mind about over the years. Today's episode features a discussion with Al about some things we've changed our minds about clinically!

  • Al has changed his mind about where to place margins. Now, he aims for equigingival margins vs. below the gingiva.
  • Kevin changed his mind about specialty procedures for general dentists (implants, ortho, sleep, etc.)
  • Kevin changed his mind about how soon to get a CBCT (seeing things in 3D).
  • Zach changed his mind about sectioning teeth (he does it much sooner). "Atraumatic extractions start with the handpiece."
  • Al has changed his mind about how soon he goes to an indirect restoration (go to indirect sooner).
  • Zach changed his mind about digital dentistry.

Kevin and Zach welcome Al back on the show for a rousing round of "What Would You Do?" After the boys revel in the finale of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" we got down to business.

  • Why do we always assume stuff is our fault? Do physicians do this?
  • Who is your dentist?

-Kevin Fryer

The Very Clinical guys finish the year strong by inviting two Very Clinical superfans to join them for a rip roaring round of "what would you do?" 

Dr. Erin Elliott and Dr. Gary Holtzclaw fill out the Very Clinical brain trust to give their answer to some diabolical situations:

  • How do you restore a grungy teenager's occlusal decay when there is an operculum in your way?
  • The patient needs crowns from 23-26. Patient is choosing to do 2 now and 2 later due to insurance reasons. What's your move?
  • The patient needs a gold crown on #15 replaced. When you did it 15 years ago, you told them that gold is the best material. You're in network with their insurance and now they won't cover gold. What's your move?

This throwback episode features a deep dive into peak Halloween and endodontic diagnosis! 

Original show notes:

"In this episode of our endo series we discuss our methods of diagnosis for root canals in varying situations.

And as you read that you're probably wondering how that's interesting for 30 minutes...well we spiked in all kinds of juicy Halloween discussion...favorite costumes, candy, movies..and a bonus hilarious story from Kevin's Halloween youth in the 70s.

Back to the endo we hit on all the fun stuff. Cold test, heat tests, percussion, x-rays, draining fistula tracking, cracked teeth, all the fun stuff!"

We welcome Dr.  Pamela Maragliano-Muniz of DentistryIQ.com fame!

We talk about preventive dentistry specifically silver diamine fluoride (SDF)

First we talk about SDF as a desensitizer.

We then talk about using SDF as a caries arresting agent.

We talk about using SDF with a glass ionomer base.

We get interrupted by a cat!

Dr. Frank Clayton joins Kevin and Zach in this throwback episode to talk about roundhouse sealants, running on time and choosing predictability! 

Original show notes:

Frank Clayton seals everything from teeth to driveways to decks and no job is too big, no crack is too large.   How many sealants can you place in a single setting?

All joking aside,  Frank waxes poetic on predictability and finding your happy place in dentistry.  Being the decathlon dentist isn't for Frank.  He likes to crush on things he's great at.

Per usual, Frank brings the funny, but we also coerce him into giving some actual clinical tips with products and stuff on high speed crowns.

Kevin and Zach are joined by Al for the second part of our series on endodontic predictability and efficiency. Kevin is still  giving a course at the 3D Dentist's retreat down in Wake Forest, NC that focuses on a digital workflow in endodontics. Today's conversation focuses on workflow with the restorative aspect of the endo procedure in mind. Is the single appointment RCT/buildup/crown the most profitable procedure in dentistry? Perhaps. And Kevin has tips on how to get there!

In today's throwback episode we skip several minutes of outdated baseball chat and jump right into a terrific discussion of terminal dentition. Specifically...when is it time to give up? Some of us were trained to hold on to the bitter end while others are more comfortable jumping into an edentulous fix. This conversation is one for the ages and we think you'll enjoy it!

Zach and Kevin are again joined by Alan Mead and this time they turn their focus on the dreaded "noncarious cervical lesion." What causes them? Who gets them? Should we treat them? Why and how?

Al leads off with some interesting Very Dental podcast stats and then the boys dig in to their knowledge (and lack of knowledge) of the noncarious cervical lesion. We dig in to toothbrush abrasion, acid erosion, airway, sleep apnea and even occlusion! Do we have answers? Kind of. The word of the day is "multifactorial!" (RIP Paul Rubens/Pee Wee Herman)

When did everything change? Was it COVID? Was it the Super Bowl after VoD 2020? Or was it all after Kobe tragically died in a helicopter crash?

The guys have returning guest (and Zach's neighbor) Dr. Meylinda Meredith of the UMKC School of Dentistry to talk about relatively recent changes in dental education. What's different after COVID? Is it better? Is it worse? 

  • Boards without patients
  • Boards cost $3500 now
  • Written boards are pass/fail, also only one round of written boards
  • A lot of classes are now pass/fail
  • What was life like for graduates in 2020 and 2021?
  • Way less clinical experience and way less reps
  • Lots of online only classes 
  • A lot less faculty available
  • Price of education continues to rise, way less funding from the states (average UMKC student debt is around $350,000)
  • "A payment for their whole career"

Another Timmerman on the podcast? Don't mind if we do! Kevin and Zach are joined by the Dr. Clint Timmerman (the OTHER one) at VoD 2023 to talk myths and tips! 

  • Clint's myth: You shouldn't give Septocaine (Articaine) in a block because it has a higher incidence of paresthesia. Clint says "give it in blocks, bro!"
  • Clint's tip: bevel the same amount of real estate as the amount of missing tooth structure in a Class IV composite. (thanks Dennis Hartlieb!)

Sleep dentistry has been a topic for awhile and more recently it's morphed into "airway" dentistry. Erin makes an argument that sleep appliances are still a viable treatment option that works in a general dental office setting.

Zach and Kevin crushed it again this year at Voices of Dentistry 2023! Today's episode kicks off their VoD format with Dr. Craig Harder! They chose "Myths and Tips" as their schtick this year so each guest offers up a myth about dentistry for them to discuss and then the guest offers a tip for the listeners! As always, the guys really delivered and we can't wait to hear from all the amazing VoD guests!

Craig's myth: Invisalign is a great value for the providing dentist

Craig's tip: Vivera retainers for Invisalign patients
