    Ivy Insights

    The Dentists, Implants and Worms podcast is an incredibly informative and entertaining podcast for anyone involved in the dental industry. With each episode, you really learn something new and valuable. The hosts have a great rapport and their conversations are both humorous and educational. Even if you know nothing about dentistry, this podcast is still a great listen.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the range of topics covered. It's not just chock full of constant clinical dental talk, but also includes discussions about real-world issues and experiences in the dental field. The hosts approach these topics with a "real world" perspective that is refreshing and relatable. They provide interesting subject matter and their guests are top-notch. The interview with Six Month Smiles founder Ryan Swain was particularly outstanding, offering applicable life truths that were incredibly valuable.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is the sense of camaraderie that comes through in each episode. The hosts don't take themselves too seriously, which creates a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for listeners. They have a great sense of humor and their banter adds to the overall entertainment value of the show. Additionally, Dr. Justin Moody's lectures and bar talks after are both fun and educational.

    However, one potential downside to this podcast is that it may not be as accessible to those who are not involved in the dental industry or have a basic understanding of dentistry. While there are informative discussions, some episodes can be quite technical or assume prior knowledge on certain topics.

    In conclusion, The Dentists, Implants and Worms podcast is a must-listen for anyone in the dental industry or those interested in learning more about dentistry. Not only is it informative, but it's also incredibly entertaining due to the hosts' humor and rapport with each other. Whether you're looking for clinical insights or just want to hear engaging conversations about dentistry-related topics, this podcast delivers on all fronts.
