GotTeeth?™, hosted by Dr. Jan Jaffer of TREC Dental, is a patient centric, monthly podcast featuring local health experts. Join us as our COO, Nitin Khandekar, puts Dr Jaffer in what we've nicknamed the “Dr. Google Hot Seat” where we will be asking him a series of the most popular dental questions searched on GOOGLE in a beat the clock fashion where he has approximately 10 minutes to answer as many of them as possible. The main reason people use a search engine when they have a question is to quickly get an accurate answer. However, when you Google something, the top of the results page will consist of advertisements related to your query. Below that will be a section entitled “People Also Ask”. This is where Google shows questions people type in the search bar that are similar or related to your initial inquiry that you may also find useful. Since we are competing with modern broadband internet speeds here, we hope that Dr. Jaffer has his mental pencil sharpened! Follow us: @TRECDental www.trecdental.com
