“Pain is not something to be feared; it is something to be understood.”This week, we talk about a topic we often ignore - pain. Because we think that giving pain attention will slow us down from achieving. But this conversation will teach us that pain exists not because we are doing things wrong, but because we are simply out of balance. To make it more relevant for you, physical pain could be the result of an old injury, hours of sitting behind a desk or the wheel of a car, or simply a postural dysfunction. All of these can knock your body out of perfect alignment, causing pain, sleeping troubles, and limitations - and slow you down from achieving your life's greatest work.Join me and my guest as we help you realign your body, and with that your life, so you can be successful with the things you were meant to do.ABOUT OUR GUESTBrian Bradley is the Vice President, Brand Development and Special Programs and is on a mission to help millions of people learn how to live healthier, pain-free lives and achieve complete fitness. A frequent speaker at industry events, he presents, consults, and conducts training with corporations, organizations, and nonprofits on the topics of chronic pain, healthy living, and high-level performance.

Let's nerd out with @sfdentalnerd! Let's also talk a bit about the upcoming Seattle Study Club 'Rising Stars Forum' with Dr. Baliwas.Dr. Brian Baliwas, also known as @sfdentalnerd, has made a name for himself through the stories he tells through social media. He has utilized social media to not only market and grow a practice in one of the most saturated areas of the country, but also uses his platform to connect with other dental professionals as an active contributor to the social media dental community.Aside from his marketing and social media branding projects, Dr. Baliwas maintains a private practice in downtown San Francisco, California, near Union Square. His practice philosophy is centered on conservative, comprehensive, cosmetic dentistry that utilizes modern dental materials and techniques. Dr. Baliwas received his D.D.S. degree from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco in 2014, where he graduated with high honors and was elected to join both Omicron Kappa Upsilon and Tau Kappa Omega dental honor societies.As an active member of the Seattle Study Club, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry, and a graduate from the Kois Center, Dr. Baliwas strives to surround himself with some of the best practitioners in his field.

Dr. Parag Kachalia is one of the most influential people in dentistry. And as one of the Seattle Study Club's Top 10 Young Educators, he's using his influence to help other dentists achieve their best in their business. His only regret in his career is not joining the Study Club sooner. As dentists, we are responsible for the wellness of our patients, but it's also our job to run a successful business. And Dr. Kachalia knows that dentistry is about more than just the 32 teeth in the mouth. He's the rare kind of dentist who loves the business side of things. He minored in economics and explains how that education helps him more in his daily practice (and as a mentor) than any physiology course he took in college. Economics and dentistry weren't always the plan — Dr. Kachalia wanted to be an oncologist, but he's always been an economist at heart. His family ran their own business, and while he was inspired to take economics courses, not many other dental students are. In addition, many teachers aren't prepared to teach the type of economics we need to run a successful business in the 2020s. Dr. Kachalia discusses this disconnect between the university and the practice and how it inspired him to get involved with the Seattle Study Club. One of the biggest things he's doing with the Study Club is discussing new types of dental technology, specifically Artificial Intelligence (AI), and how to pick out what kind of tech you need in your practice. There are three criteria Dr. Kachalia uses before he invests in new equipment or technology, and he shares how we can apply his process to all business investments we make. It's important to look at how these new kinds of dental technology will work for your practice and how these tools will benefit you not only as a dentist but also as a business owner.

Why Interdisciplinary Dentistry is Too Hard for Most Dentists Episode #404 with Dr. Jeff Rouse Interdisciplinary dentistry is the future. So, why isn't there more buy-in, and why are dentists struggling to give interdisciplinary care? To reveal why it's so difficult and the steps you can take to get started, Kirk Behrendt brings back Dr. Jeff Rouse from Spear Education for his thoughts and advice to help you provide the best care for your patients. It's time to help patients beyond their teeth! To learn how, listen to Episode 404 of The Best Practices Show! Main Takeaways: Education in interdisciplinary care is lacking. Don't just focus on structure and biology issues. Go beyond products and materials to help patients. Airway is the gateway to comprehensive dentistry. Join a study club! Quotes: “You have to feel confident and competent in doing [dentistry]. So, you have to have the education and spend the time learning it. And there are, unfortunately, very few places to learn that. A majority of the education we have is focused on technique because it's company-driven, a lot of it. It's, ‘I want to learn about E-MAX. I want to learn about zirconia systems. I want to learn about composites,' because you're going to do a procedure. And the thought process is, ‘Show me how to do that thing, and then I'll go back and do that thing and make more money doing that thing.' So, it's technique, materials. Or it's product, ‘Get me a scanner. Get me a milling machine. Get me a laser.' Things. But once again, it's materials from a company, your product from a company, driving dentistry. And unfortunately, for us, it also plays into what dental school taught us, which is how to work with materials and how to work with product.” (12:41—14:18) “When we go through in dental school and put together a treatment plan, all we do is list what's broken, what's diseased, what I'm going to do about it. So, it's singular. It's, ‘Tooth number two has a . . . Tooth number 31 has a . . . They have this, and I'm going to use this technique in order to take care of it. This product. This machine.' And that's not interdisciplinary dentistry at all. So, our education is lacking.” (14:19—15:06) “Airway gives you the opportunity to get the patient out of the hygiene operatory, whereas talking to them about their teeth are worn, their teeth are in the wrong location, the teeth have the gums covering them; they need to be pushed back, harder conversation to have with people. Much more difficult. Especially wear patients, malocclusions, really difficult conversation because you don't want people, when they're brand-new to your practice, to think you're just after their money.” (17:54—18:27) “I'm now seeing this increase in younger dentists doing what I'm going to call better dentistry, at least more exciting dentistry, more profitable dentistry, than they ever have before. It's not because of the way we now teach it at Spear versus how Bill and I taught it; it's because airway looks at skeletal and dentoalveolar as it relates to the skeleton differently than we ever have. It adds this extra piece.” (22:42—23:17) “Airway gets people in for comprehensive evaluations, and it gets them to do more complex, comprehensive dentistry than I've ever had opportunities to do before.” (25:01—25:13) “There are people out there that want to help you be better than what you are right now, and to achieve better than they are. If you're excited enough to be one of the best, there are lots of people that are willing to help you get there.” (27:56—28:12) “Young dentists need to know that there are people that want to help them. And a study club format is probably the best way to go about doing that. And the two that I've been associated with are Seattle Study Club and Spear Study Club. They both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they're both critical. In fact, if you can be in both, it's even better. If you could figure out a way to be in both of...

A conversation with Dr. Kate Quinlin and Dr. Vladana Babcic about juggling life, motherhood, and being partners in their multispecialty practice. Dr. Quinlin, a board certified periodontist, and Dr. Babcic, a board certified endodontist have built an amazing career in Chicago and the Chicagoland area.  The model of their practice is focused on interdisciplinary care through team based treatment planning.  They have not only achieved success in their career but also as mothers and wives.  Juggling life as full time clinicians, managing their practice, directing Seattle Study Club and motherhood is not an easy feat.  As working moms, we break down how life really is trying to "do it all."

Pearl was founded on the notion that artificial intelligence can be the dental practitioner's always-on assistant and the patient's most trustworthy friend. Its founders have a uniquely personal connection to the dental industry's intricacies, as well as the knowledge and education to actualize the full and practicable potential that AI has to offer. Both Ophir and Dr. Stanley grew up with dentist fathers, so concern for oral care has been ingrained in their hearts since childhood. Ophir and Cambron joined forces at digital media company, GumGum, which Ophir founded in 2008, where they spent 10 years applying AI technology to deliver solutions for digital advertising and sports sponsorship. Dr. Stanley, who became a dentist like his father, joined forces with Ophir and Cambron Carter in 2015. Together they set their sights on the next great AI revolution: healthcare. Pearl is the product of their efforts. Collectively, their vision and experience make them the ideal founders, practitioners and futurists to bring Pearl's services—delivering better bites, trillions of bytes at a time—to an office near you. About our guests: Ophir Tanz (CEO of Pearl) Prior to founding Pearl, Ophir was the founder and CEO of GumGum, an applied computer vision company focused on the media category. Prior to this, Ophir was CEO and co-founder of Mojungle.com, a mobile-media sharing platform that was sold to Shozu.com in 2007. Before this, Ophir co-founded and sold Fluidesign, an interactive and branding agency. He holds a BS and MS from Carnegie Mellon University. Dr. Kyle Stanley (Chief Clinical Officer of Pearl) Named as "The Next Generation of Cosmetic Dentistry" by the AACD in 2015 and "Top 10 Young Educators in Dentistry" by the Seattle Study Club, graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC and then completed a dental implant residency along with a dental implant specialty in Brazil.

Pincus Award for outstanding achievements in esthetic dentistry by the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry. He is also a dedicated researcher who has published in some of the top international dental journals about topics relating to esthetics, dental implants, and smile design. Dr. Stanley is a KOL for many well-respected companies and has presented on five continents as a highly in-demand speaker. With his company Pearl, he is changing the way patients are treated through artificial intelligence and is a leader in this field. Dr. Stanley is the leading advocate of mental health in dentistry. He maintains an exclusive private practice in Beverly Hills, CA.

The last time we had Dr. Wael Garine on Dental Slang, we discussed non-verbal slang and prosthodontics. Dr. Garine is without a doubt a wizard when it comes to prosthetics and implant dentistry, but it's his new role as Director of Operations at the Seattle Study Club that earned him a spot on Incisal Edge Magazine's 2021 list of most influential people in dentistry.  Dr. Garine currently owns a multi-practice in Florida and operates out of two locations. Running a multi-practice sort of fell into his lap when a friend and fellow dentist offered him his office and his patients after decided to quit the practice, but it was exactly what he wanted. Owning a multi-practice not only provides more room to service more patients but also gives Dr. Garine more free time to spend his energy on what he truly loves to do: teach. Dr. Garine always wanted to teach and help fellow dentists stay up-to-date with the latest dental tech, tools, and procedures. Seattle Study Club offers up the perfect opportunity to do so. Dr. Garine has been involved with the club for 14 years and shares a few of his experiences starting and what path led him to eventually become a director. Seattle Study Club is a peer-to-peer learning program that brings local dentists together to learn new tricks of the trade and share their experiences with one another. Directors of the local clubs are free to develop their own curriculum to cater to the needs of the dentists in that area, and there are group-learning programs and different educational opportunities offered throughout the year. With the pandemic, many of these programs have been moved online, and Dr. Garine discusses this transition and how listeners can get access to past speakers and symposiums. Dr. Garine's new role as Director of Operations allows him to continue teaching and guiding other dentists and directors, but he now also has the opportunity to bring in new speakers, new learning modules, and grow the network with even more dentists. He's excited to share some of these new plans with us, and some of the new slang that's evolving within Seattle Study Club as roles and expectations are shifting around dentistry. Listen now to learn how you can get involved. In This Episode You Will Learn Why Dr. Garine was inspired to start a multi-practice 3:12 The top three challenges you face when running more than one dental practice 5:11 How the COVID pandemic impacts the multi-practice model 8:52 Dr. Garine''s new role as Director of Operations in the Seattle Study Club 20:20 What makes Seattle Study Club so unique for dentists 22:29 How Seattle Study Club moved their annual symposium content online 29:30 Some Questions We Discuss How did Dr. Garine end up in southern Florida? 1:52 What does Dr. Garine love most about multi-practice dentistry? 4:17 Where is the future of multi-practice dentistry headed? 7:00 How Dr. Garine got involved with the Seattle Study Club? 12:11 How can you join or become a director of the Seattle Study Club? 16:56 Resources: Visit our website: www.DentalSlang.com Connect with us on Facebook: Dental Slang Connect with Dr. Wael and the Seattle Study Club: wael@seattlestudyclub.com Learn more about Dr. Wael and the SSC in Incisal Edge Magazine Get involved with The Seattle Study Club Listen to Dr. Wael's first episode on Dental Slang
