There was once a time where we started a podcast. A podcast by dentists, for dentists. And in the very first episode we were OBSESSED with Botox.  That's right, I'm throwing back to the very first episode of the Dental Hacks podcast. The podcast features Dr. Jason Lipscomb and myself interviewing the one and only Dr. Lance Timmerman followed by a Brain Trust featuring Dr. Tammy Bailey, Dr. Jason Luchtefeld, Dr. Dawn Kulongowski and Dr. Andy Hayes! To be honest, we weren't great. At least the technology wasn't great. But there was magic from the very first episode. I hope you enjoy the very first podcast we produced!

Zach Meiners and Jason Lipscomb go Totally Oral at VoD 2023.  Just like any good superhero movie, Jason gives the origin story of Voices of Dentistry and how it all came together. Jason and Zach discuss insurance companies and how dentists could take the power back if everyone joined forces like the Wonder Twins.  Zach laments how getting his dream car, a lowered GEO Metro, didn't give him the street cred he was seeking. If only he had taken up the keytar like Jason did.

Alan is joined by Dr. Russell Schafer and Dr. Jason Lipscomb to talk about dentures, digital design and AirBnBs. Dentistry has a denture problem. Many young dentists aren't well trained and many grizzled veterans just plain hate them. But for a lot of people dentures are the only real solution for them. Dr. Russell Schafer wants to make them more predictable and profitable for regular dentists.  Russell's digital solution for immediate dentures (3D printing ftw!) What's so dangerous about metal printing? (answer: JLips' jokes) Why are small classes like Russell's so good? (answer: flexibility to cover what the participants are looking for) The "Bob Ross" technique of staining and glazing a denture Learning Blue Sky Plan Printed crowns containing more than 51% ceramic filler = ceramic crown!

Alan is joined by Dr. Dawn Kulongowski, Dr. Lance Timmerman, Dr. Jason Lipscomb and Dr. Frank Clayton to grapple with weird and difficult hypothetical situations in a rousing game of "What would you do?" If you were an associate and your owner dentist's hands are starting to shake, what do you do? What would you tell yourself if you had a time machine that took you to your graduation day from dental school? This and many other dilemmas are hilariously discussed by a panel of all star Brain Trusters! Join the Very Dental Facebook group using the password "Timmerman," Hornbrook" or "McWethy."

We love to feature a round table of regular, "wet fingered' (ew) dentists talking about stuff that all dentists deal with.

We cover a lot of ground here, including: Are baseball analogies good for gauging where you are in your dental career? Would Rich recommend buying and merging a practice? How is Jeff screening kids and adults for airway? (note: it's probably not what you think!) How has coaching affected their careers? What technology has been worthwhile? For patient outcomes or simply marketing? Why are dentists training so much in high dollar procedures vs. the fundamentals? Are long haul truckers good patients? Is it truck o'clock?

Jason and Alan are joined by dentist/podcaster/author Dr. Paul Etchison! Paul is THAT guy! The one who did a startup about 10 years ago with two ops and doing his own hygiene that grew into a monster practice with multiple associates and specialists! In episode 213 we discuss: How do you write a book? Why start a podcast? Should you have a backup autoclave or air compressor? His story of small office to monster practice! Al and Paul's experience in the Dominican Republic How important is office culture? (hint: VERY) What is a "virtual case review" and how has that increased big cases in Paul's office? Al's chicken update Paul's links: Dental Practice Hero Dental Practice Heroes Podcast Links from the show: Our "clinical hack of the week" feature a trick for closed tray implant impressions. You can't beat PTFE (teflon) tape! To keep impression material out of the impression coping ends you can wad teflon up kind of fat and gently pack it into the top. Keeps impression material out and is super easy to remove after you take the impression out of the mouth. Jason also suggests Tak model block from Great Lakes Orthodontics.

We've been using a new cement in our offices and it's made by our friends at Bisco. It's called Theracem. It's a dual-cured, calcium and fluoride-releasing, self-adhesive resin cement indicated for luting crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays and posts (prefabricated metal/non-metal/fiber posts). My favorite thing about it is that it delivers a strong bond to zirconia and most substrates with no priming or etching required. It's fluoride and calcium releasing and is pleasantly radioopaque on the x-ray. It's also super easy to clear. It's kind of perfect, really. Go check out Theracem from Bisco at dentalhacks.com/theracem!  Cosmedent is featuring a friend of the show in an amazing course this December! Dr. Bob Margeas is giving his course "Practical Tips Using Composite Resin in Everyday Practice" on December 14-15th. It's in the greatest classroom in all of dentistry, overlooking Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago and it promises to bring your composite skills to a new level! Go check out the course at dentalhacks.com/bobmargeas.   Mr. Thirsty One Step is a bite block and a tongue guard with built in suction. It's great for dentists and hygienists because it removes water spray, retracts the cheek and tongue and keeps the patient's mouth open all in one easy to use and disposable package. There are several options out there for these kind of mouth guards, so why is Mr. Thirsty better? First, it's all one piece there is nothing to sterilize or clean. Take it out of the package, use it, then toss it. Secondly, the bite block has a little less "give" than it's competitors, and in my hands...that's a plus. You should check out Mr. Thirsty at dentalhacks.com/mrthirsty and use the coupon code "TRIAL10" on the website for $10 off of a Mr. Thirsty One Step trial kit! This is a great deal on a great product, so go check it out! "Implants-the Surgical/Restorative Connection" is being offered December 7-8th at the Spear Education campus in Scottsdale, AZ. If you act now, you can save $200 on your registration for this value packed course! It features Dr. Gregg Kinzer's restorative perspective and Dr. Jim Janakievski's surgical expertise to help you learn treatment planning, placement and restoration of implant restorations from simple to complex.

Jason and Alan go "live to tape" for only the second time and this time we are joined by the one and only Andre Shirdan! Andre is a speaker, dental consultant and coach with a ton of good information and a great sense of humor! We cover a lot of ground in this episode. Here are a few things that we covered! dentists (and the industry of dentistry) avoids change (how do you buys stamps?) how did he learn about and where should dental teams learn about customer service (think Disney, Ritz Carlton and Chick-Fil-A) What is C.R.E.W.? Where did it come from and how does it work? how can we simplify perio treatment in our offices? how he created the biggest Eaglesoft user's group on the internet how has dentistry changed over his 30 years in the industry? Andre's links: The CREW Process StatCK Andre's Eaglesoft Field Guide Links from the show: Jason put up a killer "Clinical Hack of the Week" in the Dental Hacks Nation this week. Everyone has probably been in a situation where they started preparing a crown and realized that they didn't get a preoperative impression to create a provisional! JLips describes using a generic impression of a typodont and make a suck down in bleach tray material. It's soft enough to adapt over the patient and still held the anatomy of a tooth! #brilliant The Voices of Dentistry meeting is going to have an amazing speaker line up! Keep your eyes on Facebook and Instagram to watch as we roll out huge names like: Dr. Jamison Spencer, Dr. Tarun Agarwal, Dr. Erin Elliott and the most popular dental speaker of all time...Dr. Jason Lipscomb! The Voices of Dentistry will be at the DoubleTree resort on January 25-26! Go buy your tickets at www.voicesofdentistry.com right now. We'd like to welcome a new sponsor to the Dental Hacks Podcast. Bisco Dental has been creating innovative dental product for a long time and we appreciate their support! We all run into deep cavity preps. It happens often enough that we really need to have a strategy for it. Do you place a liner? If so, what kind? Do these liners really do anything? And man...they are a pain to place! Enter Theracal LC. It handles just like a flowable composite. You place it right where you want it and then light cure it. You restore as you normal would over top of it. It’s just as simple as that. You get proven benefits of a liner. First, calcium release stimulates hydroxyapatite and secondary dentin bridge formation. It has an alkaline pH which promotes healing and it creates a protective seal. It’s radioopaque so you can see it on an x-ray. It’s got all the benefits you would look for in a liner, without all the hassle. Go check out Theracal LC at dentalhacks.com/theracallc. We think this is a tool you’ll be glad you have. Nonstick instruments aren't always nonstick, right? Over time they become a bit stickier. And there is NOTHING more irritating than composite pull back on an instrument. Cosmedent has a sculpting resin that solves this problem without staining your composite. Check out HEMA-free "Brush and Sculpt" at dentalhacks.com/brushandsculpt. You may not need it for every case, but you'll be glad you have it for the cases that need it!   Everyone has those instruments that you’re glad to have, but maybe you don’t use them every day. Or maybe even every week. You paid a bunch for them and you want to take good care of them, but they don’t really fit in any particular regular set up or cassette. Our friends at Zirc have you covered! They have a product called the “Performance Tool Organizer.” It’s a compact cassette made for exactly these instruments! Check it out at dentalhacks.com/performance. Use coupon code DHPTO for a special “buy 4 get one free” deal!    Listen up Dental Hacks Nation...Jason and I are heading to Spear Education! We’re going to be taking “Treating the Worn Dentition” on November 29th and 30th and the legendary Facially Generated Treatment Planning from December 1st to the 3rd.

When Missy Fryer and Mary Beth Bajornas joined us last year to talk about their new Dental Office Survival Manual it was one of the most downloaded episodes of the entire podcast! Well, they're back. And they're better than ever! Mary Beth and Missy talked with Jason and Alan about how important it is to have a really well trained team and how it's an ongoing process. We discussed: How hiring is becoming more of a struggle and it's getting WORSE rather than better Strategies for hiring a great team member Why employees and doctors get mad about each other and how to fix it (hint: it's about training) Why delegating and allowing your team to work at the top of their training is best for everyone Some innovative internal marketing strategies that involve the team Missy and Mary Beth are a real resource for dentistry. They're offering a 10% discount by using the coupon code: hacks.

Believe it or not, folks... Dentists, Implants and Worms have made it to Episode 100!  In celebration of our huge milestone episode, we decided to try out something different by featuring some of our closest friends and supporters on the show.  In short, it didn't go well due to technical difficulties— mainly because the three of us are Skype newbies. (Yeah, we'll work on that.) Regardless of the "shit show" when it came to Skype, we managed to make the best of it by briefly connecting with our biggest fans: Mike Freimuth, DDS; The Dental Hacks Podcast (Alan Mead, DDS and Jason Lipscomb, DDS); Erin Elliott, DDS; Lisa Moler; The Life and Dentistry Podcast; Danny Domingue, DDS. Perhaps, even more notably, The Worm himself— John Landers, DDS— decided to grace us with his presence. I promise you there IS some dental content discussed around the 1 hour 20 minute mark (thank you Dr. Domingue).  All in all though, it was a greatly entertaining podcast and I truly mean it when I say that I've never had so much fun taking around 3 hours of technical difficulties and non-sequiters and cutting it down to a super-sized (1 hour and 40 minutes) episode of Dentists, Implants and Worms. We can't thank ALL 100 of our previous guests enough.  Trust us, if we were able to, we would have Skyped you all in, but as you can tell from listening to this episode, we could barely handle 8 guests, let alone 100. Here's to another 100 episodes of the podcast that navigates you through the world of dentistry, one vodka-soda at a time!  Thank you for listening and supporting us, and cheers!

Dr. Costes brings Shawn VandeVyver, Alan Mead and Jason Lipscomb on the stage and they all acknowledge the listeners and people who have supported them in their endeavors. He transitions into the story of the beginning of his rocky road to success and how surrounding himself with people more successful than him, changed his life....Continue Reading...

Could I go to prison for poor record keeping? How afraid should I be of the government, the state board or insurance companies. In episode 59 of the DentalHacks podcast we talk to Todd Zettler about this and more! Todd is married to Dr. Melissa Zettler who is a regular on our very own Brain Trust.

We also talk about embezzlement, the Minnesota Care tax and even a legal perspective on premedication for joint replacement patients! This is a unique interview that you shouldn't miss!

The panel (consisting of Dr. Tarun Agarwal, Dr. Melissa Zettler, Dr. Lance Timmerman and DentalHacks hosts Dr. Jason Lipscomb and Dr. Alan Mead) cover tons of intriguing topics including: What do you do with the existing doctor?
