Cracks put teeth at risk of infection and fracture if left untreated, but treating cracks in teeth can create many challenges for practitioners. Removing cracks without good magnification, visibility and an understanding of crack propagation puts the nerve and critical tooth structure at risk. Once the crack is removed, the non-standard defect requires specific techniques to bond to deep areas of the tooth while maintaining a strong bond.Dr. David Alleman, DDS, first began researching treatment options for cracks because he recognized that full coverage crowns weren't yielding predictable results. Adhesive dentistry had the potential to offer a more predictable alternative, but the protocols didn't exist for practitioners. So he formulated those protocols for predictable crack treatment himself. Articles referenced in this episode:Belli S., Et al.

From ultra-processed foods and pesticides to environmental toxins, pharmaceuticals, and chronic disease, it can feel overwhelming to try to make sense of it all - - - especially when our health "authorities" seem to continuously change their minds about what's good for us and what's killing us - - - and everything seems to be poison now. In this eye-opening conversation, Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, sits down with veteran pediatrician, integrative physician, author, speaker, and health freedom fighter, and author Dr. Michelle Perro, MD, DHom, to discuss one of the biggest questions of today: How do we pursue true health in an increasingly toxic world? Drawing from more than four decades of clinical experience, Dr. Perro shares her perspective on the growing health challenges affecting children and adults alike, why so many people are searching for answers outside conventional approaches, and what practical steps individuals can take to reclaim their health. Together, Jamie and Michelle dive into topics including: • What's making our children sick and how we can begin making them well • Glyphosate, GMOs, fluoride, and environmental toxic burden • The MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement and why it continues to gain momentum • Why curiosity is one of the most important skills we can develop in today's world • The importance of critical thinking and informed decision-making • Finding trustworthy health information in an age of information overload • Lyme disease, chronic illness, and environmental health concerns • The role of food as the foundation of physical and mental wellness • Transhumanism, AI, technology, and the future of human health • Why community matters when pursuing a different path toward wellness • How young people can become empowered advocates for their own health • Why the choices we make today may impact future generations One of the most powerful themes throughout this conversation is the idea that health is often visible. Spend time around people who prioritize nutrient-dense food, clean water, movement, sunshine, meaningful relationships, and foundational wellness, and you'll often notice a difference. There is a vibrance, energy, resilience, and optimism that stands out. Jamie and Michelle discuss how surrounding yourself with people who value health can accelerate your own journey and help you stay the course when the path feels unconventional. Whether it's attending a health conference, joining a local Weston A. Price chapter, connecting with practitioners, or simply finding friends who share similar values, this episode highlights the importance of finding community and support as you pursue a healthier life. Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that lasting change starts with paying attention. Asking questions. Staying curious. Learning to think critically. And taking ownership of the choices that shape your health and the future health of those around you. Please subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode!

Dentists have been attempting to treat cracked teeth for decades, with the goal of alleviating patient pain and conserving teeth through restorative treatment. But as Dr. David Alleman, DDS, describes in this episode, “it's a coin toss of success.” Methods such as retention to hold the crack together or bonding over the crack with adhesion are unpredictable. Sometimes the treatment works, and sometimes it doesn't, leaving patients and practitioners frustrated. The solution: treat cracked teeth like engineers have been treating cracks for over a century. The challenge: applying these techniques to a biological environment and accounting for bacteria, dentin hydration and dental adhesives.Dr. David Alleman, DDS, discusses the history and treatment protocols for predictable cracked tooth treatment in this episode of the Six Lessons Approach podcast.Articles referenced in this episode:Brannstrom M.

Dr. Joel Berg is joined once again by Dr. Scott Schwartz, this time to tackle how candidates can best prepare for the Residency application process. Dr. Schwartz emphasizes the importance of considering the “obvious questions,” like which type of program is the best fit for your future professional aspirations and learning style. He shares ways that candidates can put their best foot forward, including a letter of recommendation from a mentor in the specialty or a unique personal experience statement that demonstrates who you are as a professional and team member – even if it's outside the sphere of dentistry. Success is often found in the commonly overlooked details. Guest Bio: Scott B. Schwartz, DDS, MPH, is an Associate Professor at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in the Division of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, where he also serves as Director of the Advanced Education in Pediatric Dentistry training program. After graduating from the University of Illinois – Chicago College of Dentistry, he completed a General Practice Residency at The Ohio State University.

Burnout isn't just about being tired; for a dental practice owner, it's a complex mix of clinical physical strain, decision fatigue, and the heavy weight of financial pressure.In this episode of The Millionaire Dentist, Casey Hiers and Jarrod Bridgeman break down why so many mid-career dentists feel "stuck" even when they look successful on paper. We explore how underlying issues, like high insurance write-offs and shaky financial systems, often lead owners to make risky "next big thing" moves that only compound their stress.In this episode, we discuss:The Four Faces of Burnout: Identifying the physical, mental, emotional, and financial stressors that go undiagnosed in the dental community.The "Cheerleader" Trap: Why relying on advisors who only make you feel good is a disservice to your practice's health.Clinical Rigor for Your Business: Why you should apply the same diagnostic precision to your cash flow and overhead that you apply to a complex clinical case.Intentional Change: How systematic adjustments to taxes and insurance can buy you back the time needed for self-care, family, and a thriving team culture.Breaking the Silence: Why vulnerability is the first step toward reclaiming your passion for dentistry.If you've been rationalizing your stress because "it could be worse," this conversation is the wake-up call you need to stop treating the symptoms and start fixing the root cause.Upcoming Tour Dates: Go to our EVENTS page for infoFacebook: Four Quadrants AdvisoryInstagram: @fourquadrantsadvisoryLinkedIn: Four Quadrants Advisory

Send us Fan MailWhen sleep is fragmented by mouth breathing or a restricted airway, the ripple effects can show up as cavities, restless sleep, drooling, picky eating, speech concerns, bedwetting, and ADHD-like behavior in kids. Speaking of Women's Health Podcast host Dr. Holly Thacker interviews Dr. Rachel Rosen, DDS, a board-certified pediatric dentist and a Breathe Institute affiliate in Ohio, to connect the dots between airway, oral function, and whole-body health from infancy through adolescence. They talk through what modern pediatric airway screening should look like and why a quick glance at tonsils or a single referral often misses the bigger picture. Dr. Rosen explains how mouth breathing dries the mouth, drives tooth decay, and why the end goal stays simple: tongue up, lips sealed, and healthy nasal breathing. You'll also hear practical, parent-friendly guidance on what to watch for at home, why symptoms can peak deep in REM sleep, and how inflammation, allergens, and diet can worsen the cycle.

This episode with Robert McNeill is truly one of the most unique journeys I have encountered on this podcast to date. Bob is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at The Dental Specialists, a healthcare regulator in Texas, a strategic advisor for the American Dental Association, and on top of all of that, he is now a 1L at Northeastern University School of Law in their FlexJD program, along with his wife, who is also a surgeon and in the same law school class as him. Yes, you read that correctly.What makes Bob's story so fascinating is his commitment to being useful. He has a DDS, an MD, an MBA from a healthcare management program, and a public policy fellowship from the Harvard Kennedy School, and he is adding a JD to the mix in his 50s. But as Bob himself says, this isn't about collecting credentials, it's about changing the lens through which he sees problems at the intersection of policy, systems, and patient safety. Between studying for his criminal law final, writing his legal writing memo from a cafe in Fez, Morocco, during spring break, and climbing Kilimanjaro right before starting 1L, Bob is the definition of enjoying the journey.This was a fantastic and wide-ranging conversation with a man who keeps pushing the envelope at every stage of life.

Sometimes, a travel nightmare is the perfect metaphor for a struggling business. In this episode, a turbulent trip to Bozeman serves as the backdrop for a serious conversation about the risks of flying blind in your dental practice.Casey and Jarrod share a candid look at a common reality: the clinician who is "excellent at the chair" but essentially "lost in the air" when it comes to their finances. We're breaking down the psychological barriers—like the fear of vulnerability and the "head in the sand" mentality—that keep talented dentists buried in debt and behind on retirement.Upcoming Tour Dates: Go to our EVENTS page for infoFacebook: Four Quadrants AdvisoryInstagram: @fourquadrantsadvisoryLinkedIn: Four Quadrants Advisory

Join Elevated GP: www.theelevatedgp.com Register for the live meeting: https://www.theelevatedgp.com/ElevationSummit Download the Injection Molding Guide: https://www.theelevatedgp.com/IMpdf  Dr. Matt Burton, DDS is a clinician, educator, and internationally recognized speaker whose work centers on elevating the clinical precision and decision-making of the modern general dentist. Known for his articulate teaching style and clinically grounded philosophy, Dr. Burton has developed a reputation for translating complex restorative and prosthodontic principles into practical, reproducible workflows that can be implemented immediately in everyday practice. Clinical Philosophy and Focus Dr. Burton's approach to dentistry is rooted in a comprehensive, systems-based model of care, where diagnosis precedes intervention and treatment planning is guided by long-term biologic and mechanical stability rather than short-term procedural convenience. His clinical interests primarily include: Restorative dentistry and prosthodontics Occlusion and functional diagnosis Treatment planning for worn dentition Adhesive dentistry and material selection Interdisciplinary case management He emphasizes that predictable outcomes are less about isolated technical execution and more about correct sequencing, risk assessment, and biomechanical understanding. This perspective resonates strongly with dentists seeking to transition from "bread-and-butter" dentistry to more comprehensive, high-level care. Education and Teaching Impact Dr. Burton is widely respected for his ability to deconstruct complex topics—such as occlusion, vertical dimension, and full-mouth rehabilitation—into clear, structured frameworks. His teaching is characterized by: A strong emphasis on first principles Clear visual and conceptual models for diagnosis and planning Case-based learning grounded in real-world scenarios A focus on clinical decision-making, not just technique

The industry changes, but the core challenges of running a dental practice remain remarkably consistent. In this foundational episode of The Millionaire Dentist, hosts Casey Hiers and Jarrod Bridgeman pull back the curtain on how Four Quadrants Advisory has spent over 22 years helping practice owners master the business side of dentistry.We move past the transactional "quick fixes" and dive into what it actually takes to build a life-changing financial strategy. If you've ever felt like the "business" part of your practice is a second full-time job you didn't sign up for, this episode is your roadmap to taking back control.Upcoming Tour Dates: Go to our EVENTS page for infoFacebook: Four Quadrants AdvisoryInstagram: @fourquadrantsadvisoryLinkedIn: Four Quadrants Advisory

Discover how evolving evidence is reshaping oral cancer guidelines and informing patient care. What all dentists need to know now about new oral cancer recommendations and the ADA's innovative approach to clinical practice guidelines.  Special Guest: Dr. Alessandro Villa  For more information, show notes and transcripts visit https://www.ada.org/podcast Show Notes  In this episode, we dive into the new ADA Living Guideline Program, the first in oral health, and learn all about this new initiative and its first set of recommendations on oral cancer.   Our special guest is Dr. Alessandro Villa, DDS, PhD, MPH, Chief of oral medicine, oral oncology and dentistry at Miami Cancer Institute, where he also serves as program director of the Oral Oncology Fellowship. He is a Professor at the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine at Florida International University. Dr. Villa specializes in oral mucosal and salivary gland diseases, oral precancers and oral complications related to cancer treatment.  Before joining Miami Cancer Institute in 2022, he was Chief of Oral Medicine and Oral Oncology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF); he also directed the oral medicine residency programs at UCSF and Harvard University. His research focuses on oral leukoplakia, cancer therapy-related complications, and the prevention of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers. Dr. Villa is actively involved in several investigator-initiated and sponsored clinical trials and has authored more than 180 peer-reviewed publications.  Dr. Villa provides an in-depth overview of the ADA's Living Guideline Program, explaining its purpose, how it works, and the key ways it differs from  traditional guidelines.   Living Guidelines are developed with the same level of rigor as traditional guidelines, but they use a distinct infrastructure design for continuous updates to emerging evidence, Dr. Villa shares.  The development of these Living Guidelines is driven by a multidisciplinary panel that typically includes general dentists, dental hygienists, oral medicine and oral pathology specialists, oral surgeons, and other relevant experts. These panels also incorporate patients and additional stakeholders.   Dr. Villa shares that they use the great evidence-to-decision framework to help dentists efficiently move from data to recommendations in a timely manner. All of this is built inside a digital platform.  When evidence is conflicting or limited, Dr. Villa explains, the transparent process for Living Guidelines ensures clarity and integrity.  The first set of recommendations from the ADA's Living Guideline program is on the evaluation of potentially malignant disorders in the oral cavity. Dr. Villa gives us more details about these recommendations, and the findings to date.  Dr. Villa explains how the results of the Living Guidelines recommendations affect how clinicians should implement these guidelines.   Resources  Learn more about the ADA's Living Guideline program.  Take a look at the updated oral cancer guideline in the Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA). These updated recommendations guide the use of cytology adjuncts for early oral cancer detection in an interactive format.  Stay connected with the ADA on social media!
