This is NOT your normal dentist! Dr. Yasamin Roland has re-invented her practice! Sure, you can get cleanings and fillings and all the standard dentistry at the Center for Transformative Dentistry; but Dr. Roland has transformed her vision to focus on the whole body and how dental health relates to it. Oxygen is critical for health and sometimes teeth may impede the flow as jawbones have shrunk as we have evolved. A nice smile is a mental boost to a giver or a recipient. She offers a different approach to dentistry. She provides a broad scope of dental and orthodontic techniques that address underlying causes, not just the symptoms. It's a “whole body approach” that is non-invasive for children and adults alike. There were several "a-ha" moments in here for me, and I am sure there will be for you as well!  Have a listen!

If you're feeling overwhelmed trying to balance patient care while navigating all the buzz about AI in dentistry, you're not alone. But today's episode will help clear the confusion and show you how to use AI to your advantage—starting now. To break it down, I've invited Conner Ludlow, founder of Annie, an AI platform that builds virtual front desk assistants for dental practices. With a background as a software engineer and tech leader, Conner knows exactly where AI is truly helpful—and where the hype gets a little too loud. In this episode, we explore the real-world uses of AI for dentists today (without needing expensive software), what "AI hallucinations" mean for your practice, and how tools like Annie can stretch your operational dollars without replacing your team. It's a must-listen if you want practical strategies to make technology work for you—not against you. AI is a tool, not a silver bullet: It can boost efficiency but still needs human oversight to represent your practice properly. Real-world wins with AI: Practices can save time with AI-generated blogs, better market research, and virtual front desk agents like Annie. Customization is key: The most successful use of AI in a dental office feels personalized—not robotic—thanks to intentional setup and continuous fine-tuning. — Soundbites "Our goal is not to replace humans, but to help offices stretch their operational dollars and make sure that they have backup and help to never miss opportunities and make sure that they're capturing all of their revenue potential."– Conner Ludlow "AI is really just a new tool that can help practices and business owners and everybody be more effective in their job."– Conner Ludlow "We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect of the technology in the long run."— Conner Ludlow "Annie is not here to replace a full-time employee—it's a helper. When you bring it into your office, make sure your front desk team knows it's there to make their job easier, not replace them. It's about simplifying their work, not taking it away."-Dr. Len Tau — Keywords: dental AI, dental marketing, front desk automation, dental practice growth, artificial intelligence in dentistry, dental staffing solutions, AI for dentists, AI overhype, Annie AI, dental office management, chatbot dentistry, ChatGPT dental uses   — Key Takeaways 01:40 Introduction to AI in Dentistry 04:04 Understanding AI: Hype vs. Reality 07:03 Practical Applications of AI in Dental Practices 09:13 The Role of AI in Marketing and Content Creation 13:20 AI's Limitations and Challenges 17:04 The Future of AI in Dentistry 23:50 Annie: The AI Assistant for Dental Practices 31:06 Conclusion and Call to Action — Connect with Conner Want to learn more about how Annie can help your dental practice thrive with AI? ✅ Visit helloannie.com to schedule a demo. ✅ Mention you heard about Annie on the Raving Patients Podcast to get an exclusive discount — half off your setup fee plus savings on your monthly dues! ✅ Explore Annie's AI tools and see how you can streamline your front desk without replacing your valuable team.   Follow Conner and Annie for the latest updates:

In this episode, Gary and Naren dive into a shocking stat: only 2.8% of patients use their full yearly dental benefits.

Gary and Naren break it all down, exploring how dental insurance hasn't kept up with rising costs and why many patients don't value their benefits. They also offer practical tips for practice owners and staff to help patients make the most of their insurance, ensuring they get the care they need.

Why do some patients struggle with anesthesia, requiring multiple cartridges just to get numb? Could your TMD patients have an underlying systemic condition that's been missed? Are you overlooking the signs of a connective tissue disorder? https://youtu.be/gaoJKPTV_Z0 Watch PDP222 on Youtube ”When you can't connect the issue, think connective tissue!” Dr. Audrey Kershaw joins Jaz for a fascinating deep dive into the world of connective tissue disorders and their hidden impact on dentistry. Together, they explore how hypermobility, unexplained joint issues, and even a history of spontaneous injuries could be key indicators of an underlying disorder. They also break down why dentists play a crucial role in screening and identifying these conditions, ensuring better patient outcomes and a more holistic approach to care. Because sometimes, when things don't seem connected… they actually are. Protrusive Dental Pearl: Don't just take a "relevant" medical history—take a comprehensive one! Encourage patients to share all health issues, even those they don't think relate to dentistry. You might uncover important clues about conditions like connective tissue disorders or sleep-disordered breathing, leading to better care and stronger patient trust. Key Take-aways Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is often misunderstood and underdiagnosed. Patients with connective tissue disorders often face skepticism from healthcare providers. POTS is a common condition associated with EDS that affects blood pressure regulation. Many TMD patients may have undiagnosed connective tissue disorders. Awareness and education about EDS are crucial for better patient outcomes. The healthcare system can be challenging for patients seeking diagnoses. Research on local anesthetic effectiveness in EDS patients is lacking. Personal experiences can help in understanding and diagnosing connective tissue disorders. Collaboration between healthcare professionals is essential for patient care. Genetic testing is crucial for diagnosing rare types of Ehlers-Danlos. Dental professionals should be aware of the signs of connective tissue disorders. Diagnosis can empower patients to understand their health better. Holistic care is vital in managing symptoms associated with EDS and TMD. Medical histories should be seen as relevant in dental practice.

The importance of community support and open conversations about struggles in the profession is underscored, as well as the necessity for dentists to seek help and connect with others facing similar challenges. TAKEAWAYS 44% of current dentists experience mental health issues. The stress in dentistry often comes from staffing and business management, not clinical work. Many dentists lack business training, leading to operational challenges. Community support is crucial for mental wellness in dentistry. Dentists often feel isolated in their struggles, but they are not alone. AI can assist in research and operational efficiency in dental practices. There is a need for structural change to better support practitioners. Successful dentists are those who are comfortable being uncomfortable. Networking with peers can provide essential support and guidance. Acknowledging mental health issues is the first step towards improvement.

Episode 148: Revolutionizing Sleep Through Airway-Focused Dentistry with Dr. Nimisha Somaiya

In today's enlightening episode of The Healthy Sleep Revolution, Dr. Meghna Dassani sits down with Dr. Nimisha Somaiya, the heart behind Seva Dental in Bellbrook, Ohio. With a unique blend of clinical expertise and a deeply personal journey into sleep-disordered breathing, Dr. Somaiya shares how incorporating sleep medicine into her dental practice has transformed not only her own life and her family's health—but is now changing the lives of her patients as well.   This isn't just a conversation about straight teeth—it's about functional dentistry and how something as seemingly cosmetic as Invisalign can have life-changing impacts when used with intention. You'll discover how airway-focused dentistry plays a vital role in supporting proper tongue posture, creating space for better breathing, and ultimately helping to address conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).   In this episode, you'll learn: - Why crowding of the teeth isn't just an aesthetic issue—it's an airway issue - How functional orthodontics like Invisalign can create space for the tongue and improve breathing - The importance of proper tongue posture and ideal oral resting posture - Why snoring, grinding, and bedwetting in kids should never be ignored - The variety of effective treatment options available beyond CPAP therapy - How dental professionals can be key allies in identifying and treating sleep apnea   Top 3 Takeaways from Dr. Somaiya: - Parents, pay attention to your child's sleep habits – Snoring, grinding, and hyperactivity are warning signs, not phases they'll “grow out of.” - Don't ignore a sleep apnea diagnosis – If CPAP isn't working for you, there are alternatives like oral appliance therapy that can help you breathe and sleep better. - Be your own advocate – If your doctor isn't taking your symptoms seriously, keep pushing. Find a provider who listens and offers solutions tailored to your needs.   About Dr. Nimisha Somaiya Dr. Nimisha Somaiya is an airway-focused dentist and passionate advocate for whole-person, patient-centered care. As the founder of Seva Dental in Bellbrook, Ohio, she is known for her calming presence and commitment to improving her patients' lives through better breathing, sleep, and wellness. “Seva,” meaning “service” in her native language, reflects the compassionate philosophy at the heart of her practice. Originally trained at one of India's top dental schools, Dr. Somaiya moved to the U.S. in 2001, completed advanced training at Southern Illinois University, and earned IV sedation certification during her hospital residency at Miami Valley Hospital. She is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), a distinction held by fewer than 6% of U.S. dentists. Her areas of expertise include: Airway and sleep dentistry Invisalign® and airway-conscious orthodontics IV sedation and full-mouth rehabilitation Dr. Somaiya has pursued extensive training through the Clinical Mastery Series and various airway-focused programs to stay on the leading edge of dental care. A former President of the Dayton Dental Society and a 2015 Dayton Business Journal “40 Under 40” honoree, she remains actively involved in her professional and local communities.

They touch on the journey of finding balance between clinical work and personal happiness, the significance of self-inventory, and the need for supportive networks to navigate career transitions.   TAKEAWAYS Dentistry is beautiful. It's like a snowflake. There's a lot of shame around leaving clinical practice. You can be a true dental business owner without picking up a handpiece. Your career as a dentist is tied to your identity. Many dentists feel trapped in their clinical roles. Exploring new skills can reignite passion in dentistry. Authenticity in practice is crucial for personal satisfaction. Community support can significantly impact career fulfillment. Burnout can often be misidentified as a desire to leave clinical work. Self-inventory helps clarify what brings joy and what detracts from it. Delegating tasks can enhance overall job satisfaction. It's important to reassess your career path periodically. Seeking mentorship can guide transitions.

Can composite really outperform ceramic in the right case? Do you know when to choose an inlay over an onlay? What makes occlusal veneers so effective — even at just 0.6 mm thickness? After years of anticipation, Dr. Pascal Magne finally joins Jaz Gulati on the podcast for an episode packed with adhesive dentistry gold. They dive deep into occlusal veneers, material selection, and why indirect composite may be the best-kept secret for worn, root-filled molars. They also unpack the full bonding protocol step-by-step—from air abrasion and IDS to silane application and cementation with preheated composite. Whether you're doing full rehabs or composite repairs, this episode is your go-to guide for smarter biomimetic dentistry. https://youtu.be/WTsF1mD-nTo Watch PDP221 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: After applying silane, don't just let it evaporate—let it react for 30 seconds, then air dry, and crucially, use a heat source (like a hairdryer) for 60 seconds to activate it properly and achieve optimal bond strength. This enhances the effectiveness of silane and significantly improves the bond strength of indirect restorations like composite or lithium disilicate. Key Takeaways: Occlusal veneers can be as thin as 0.6 mm. Indirect composite is often a superior choice for restorations. Proper bonding protocols are crucial for successful restorations. Focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses is key in dentistry. Conservative approaches in dentistry can preserve tooth structure. The vital tooth is always preferable to a non-vital tooth. Composite resin has wear properties similar to enamel. Occlusal veneers provide excellent protection for compromised teeth. Porcelain veneers have long-term durability compared to composites. The evolution of composite materials has led to better options for restorations. Zirconia is strong but difficult to adjust and bond effectively. Immediate dentin sealing is crucial for successful bonding and patient comfort. The Dahl principle allows for minimal preparation in certain cases. Composites can be as effective as ceramics when used correctly. Understanding the properties of materials is essential for successful restorations. Thin occlusal veneers can be successfully bonded with proper techniques.

Xavier's team  is the latest example of rowing's newfound popularity  and diversification. To learn more about the Xavier University crew team we're joined by three of the captains, Kamryn Days, Nyla Archibold, and Victoria Duffey. Fluoride is a naturally-occurring mineral that's found in most water. But it's been added to public water to help prevent tooth decay since the 1940s. In recent years, it's become politically controversial, with people like Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claiming the mineral is a quote “industrial waste” with links to cancer, IQ loss and autism – despite no evidence.Now, a bill to ban fluoride is headed for debate on the Louisiana Senate floor. It was written by Republican state senator Mike Fesi, who called fluoride a poison and falsely connected it to potentially causing autism.The Gulf States Newsroom's Drew Hawkins spoke with Scott Tomar, associate dean at the College of Dentistry at the University of Illinois Chicago to unpack the truth about fluoride.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes breaks down the psychology behind patient communication, case acceptance, and building trust through ethical persuasion. He emphasizes the importance of empathy—especially when patients share negative past experiences—and explains why you should never throw a colleague under the bus. Instead, focus on making the patient feel heard and understood. Dr. Costes introduces the "Oregon vs. Oregon Trail" concept, illustrating how to sell patients on the outcome, not the painful process. He also explores the impact of personal financial biases on treatment presentations and why true conviction is essential in getting patients to say "yes" to necessary care. Plus, he dives into the art of conversation, identifying common pitfalls like the interrupter, the one-upper, and the conversational narcissist—and how to avoid becoming one yourself.  EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.truedentalsuccess.com Dental Success Network Subscribe to The Dentalpreneur Podcast
