Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dental Mentoring Series #2 – Mastering Local Anaesthesia: Patient Comfort and Technique
Q: Why does dentistry cost so much?
Paying for dental services reflects the complexity of treatments and the expertise involved, so it's essential for dentists to clearly communicate the value of their work when addressing this question.
Tip #146 – Biomimetic Dentistry: Exploring Deep Margin Elevation and Immediate Dentine Sealing with Dr Aditya Sawant
Q: Where can I go in the next few years to look more into this and get better at all of this?
Search all of those researchers up, The Biomedical Restorative Dentistry, that textbook is so good. Go to a course, shameless blog, but I've started helping out with the Biomedical Aesthetic Dentistry course run by Bill Gurgis, Tim Maxwell, Mahesh Shah.
Feature #97 – Communication: Confident and ethical patient interaction with Dr Peter Dayman
Q: Do you have any advice to recent grads on how to not feel like they need to take on Herodontics?
Herodontics requires a lot of skill and experience that recent graduates may not yet have. It's crucial to back your decisions and prioritize patient care over unnecessary treatments.
Tip #145 – Aging teeth and its implications for dental restorations with Dr Arosha Weerakoon
Q: What should dentists consider when using adhesives on aged dentin?
Dentists should avoid etching dentin to maintain the adhesive interface integrity and prevent exposing fluids that could lead to restoration failure.
Tip #145 – Aging teeth and its implications for dental restorations with Dr Arosha Weerakoon
Q: What happens to the physiology of a tooth with age?
The collagen structure becomes less flexible and more prone to fractures, and the tubules fill with minerals, reducing fluidity and increasing brittleness.
