#22. In this episode, we are interviewing Dr. Kimberley Barclay and Dr. Lauren Jacobsen. Dr. Barclay and Dr. Jacobsen are the cofounders of the American Dental Association's Design Innovation Award winning practice, Toothbar. These two female entrepreneurs have been celebrated on the cover of Dentaltown Magazine, highlighted in Forbes and Fortune Magazine's Amazing Women issue, and featured in several dental publications. Leading with their passion for esthetics, Dr. Jacobsen and Dr. Barclay are accomplished cosmetic dentists as well as top 1% Diamond Invisalign providers. Both doctors are active leaders in the dental community as members of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Clear Aligners and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. Dr. Barclay and Dr. Jacobsen share a unique bond in that they developed a business partnership forged out of a long standing friendship that began when they met in 2009 in dental school at Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine. Having worked alongside one another in a corporate dental setting for several years, Dr. Barclay and Dr. Jacobsen went on to leverage their gained insights and build their own private practice from scratch. In just five years since its opening, Toothbar has become Austin's premier cosmetic dental practice, founded through a mutual desire to elevate the dental practice experience. The two doctors enjoy living near and working in downtown Austin and continue to prove that best friends can start a successful business together. We hope you enjoy!

Dr. Spera and Dr. Griffin discuss the challenges Dr. Griffin has faced in his career, as well as the successes, and his recent appreciation for 3-D in-house digital printing. Bio: In 2009 Dr. Griffin was coined the “Most Efficient Dentist in America” by Dr. Woody Oakes after producing 3 times the national average in 3 days per week in a terribly economically depressed part of the country while seeing a very high volume of patients. Then disaster struck.  While rebuilding his practice from a devastating fire in 2013, Dr. Chris Griffin unearthed several breakthroughs that helped him rebrand his practice to provide more advanced dental services at a slower pace with an increase in profit. Now, he is on a mission to help dentists work less, make more, and enjoy practice again by empowering their teams through purpose and process to provide more advanced services like dental implants, orthodontics, and 3D printing. There is a S.M.A.R.T.E.R. way to practice and that is by harnessing the power of your dental team to drive practice growth and implement seemingly complex new procedures like never before.   Career Highlights:   2010 Mississippi Dental Association Humanitarian of the Year Fellowship Academy of General Dentists Fellowship International Dental Implant Association (pending due to Covid) #1 Podcast on Dentaltown, January 2020 – the Dr. Chris Griffin Show Author of 5 Books in Dentistry Speaking has allowed him to share the stage with several of his dental heroes, including Howard Farran and Gordon Christensen.

Katrina Klein, RDH, CEAS, CPT Welcome back, Peeps!   As we herald in a new year, it’s probably about time that we drag ourselves to the gym (or open the rowing machine that’s been sitting in its box for months). This week on the third mic we are happy to have Katrina Klein, the founder of ErgoFit Life. In her decade-long career as an RDH (while moonlighting as a bodybuilder), Katrina came to recognize the health issues that all medical professionals face in their work. She speaks from experience when it comes to working and living healthier as a dental professional. In her work she offers individualized assessments and workout routines focused on workers in the medical field. We talk about chronic pain, preventative ergonomics, and how to live and work in a dental office pain-free. Katrina Klein provides some tangible ways we can build a program for ourselves that serves our unique needs.   We answer these questions and much more: Do Dental Hygienists have bad backs? How can I work out and work full time? Does working out improve metabolism? What is an ergonomic assessment? Katrina’s Biography:   For Katrina Klein, ergonomics is everything. She is a full time practicing Registered Dental Hygienist - has been for 13 years and counting. She knows firsthand the struggle of working in a stationary, inflexible environment. Katrina has dedicated herself to helping others prevent injury in the workplace, free themselves from physical discomfort in their dental career, and to retire without a disability. Whether instructing individual clinicians, small or large groups, she is passionate about teaching others to work smarter, not harder. She has been published in DentalTown Magazine and has more articles on the way! As a competitive bodybuilder and personal trainer, Katrina has attained a unique understanding of the biomechanics behind clinical ergonomics. Her credentials include certification as an Ergonomics Assessment Specialist, which has given her the expertise and training to help provide safer procedures through proper ergonomics.   Thank you to our peeps at Dentsply Sirona for sponsoring our 60th episode holy molar!  While Irene is at home scratching her hives, her team is eagerly awaiting the training on their brand new and amazingly awesome SiroLaser that has so many features that can be utilized by both doctors and hygienists.  Irene shares her reasons for patiently awaiting its release here in Canada, some of those reasons being the ability to set procedure fav's for easy use during the treatment time.  Debridement of the diseased epithelial lining Laser removal of diseased, infected, inflamed and necrosed soft tissue within the periodontal pocket Laser soft tissue curettage Sulcular debridement (removal of diseased, infected, inflamed andthe necrosed soft tissue in the periodontal pocket toimprove clinical indices including gingival index, gingival bleeding index, probe depth, attachment loss and tooth inability) Katrina shares some important information on the recent investigation around pathogen reduction with Lasers and the connection to ultrasonics, aerosols and a very informative article written by Noel Paschke titled, "A Path of Fewer Aerosols with Ultrasonics"  Click on the links below to learn more about both the laser and a direct link to the article:  SiroLaser Noel Paschke titled, "A Path of Fewer Aerosols with Ultrasonics"    Find Katrina Klein online: IG: @ergofitlife_katrina Website: https://ergofitlife.com/ FB: @ergofitlife --- Find more of our episodes at https://www.toothordare.ca/ Follow us on Instagram!

Ed is a fantastic dentist who is just as forward thinking as his son, Mark. In this two-part episode, we were also graced with the presence of Dr. John Landers— so this was our first episode with a full-house in-studio! Not bad for thirteen episodes in.

His ability to render comprehensive care, while being especially sensitive to the needs of phobic patients, sets him apart from his colleagues. Dr. Zuckerberg's outside interests include scuba diving, photography and contract bridge.
