Wellness and mental health education is as important as any other part of the school system as it teaches students how to prioritize their holistic wellbeing by becoming curious and compassionate about their emotions. Today on Hope Pieced Together, we are joined by the incredible Head of The John Cooper School, Dr. Stephen Popp, and the school's Director of Wellness, Dr. Diego Estrada, to discuss their systemic and evidence-based approach to educating student populations on mental wellbeing. Tuning in, you'll hear all about our guests'  backgrounds, what their school's mission is, why mental health is part of your overall well-being, and a breakdown of their systemic approach to educating their community on wellness and wellbeing.

In the world of anesthesia, Articaine is a product riddled with controversy. Whilst recent studies have proved that Articaine is relatively safe to use, many are still skeptical due to the previous narrative that Articaine has a higher chance of causing paralysis than Lidocaine and other anesthetics. So today, we sit down with Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Dr. Ben Hechler, to get to the bottom of Articaine's safety by unpacking a few studies that were published in the last five years.  Our first study denotes that on an absolute scale, Articaine is not riskier to use than Lidocaine, and Dr. Ben explains why he agrees wholeheartedly. We also discuss anesthetic efficiency and discover that, once again, there is little to separate Articaine and Lidocaine. To end, both our host and guest detail how they use Articaine in their practices and Dr. Ben explains why every oral surgeon should be embracing Articaine instead of running away from it.Key Points From This Episode:Why we've chosen to speak about Articaine and we dive into our first case study. Dr. Ben explains what he likes about the study in question.How there's no definitive proof that Articaine causes paralysis more than Lidocaine. The second article that we discuss explores anesthetic efficiency. How Articaine is slightly more effective than Lidocaine (within certain parameters).The way Doctors Ben and Grant use Articaine in their practices. Why Articaine should be embraced by all oral surgeons. Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Dr. Ben Hechler on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-hechler/   ‘Does the Use of Articaine Increase the Risk of Hypesthesia in Lower Third Molar Surgery?

Denial and avoidance are common reactions to experiencing a failure, but these actions might only serve to make things worse for you. Dealing with failure in a responsible, proactive manner is an important life skill for all humans to have, and even more so for those with a scalpel in their hands. Now, you may consider him as our resident co-host or maybe our most frequent guest. In either case, Dr. Ben Hechler is back with more expert tips and tricks, this time on how to better navigate failure as an oral maxillofacial surgeon. We discuss Dr. Ben's coping mechanisms and other healthy ways of dealing with failure, why it's vital to have adequate protocols in place for overcoming surgical complications, how your daily activities (including what you eat) influence your ability to cope with failure, and why we all need to avoid denial and accept responsibility when things don't go out way. Excellent communication is an important aspect of handling failure as it builds trust with patients and provides a platform for your colleagues to help you wherever they can, and using failure as motivation for improvement is a sure way to prevent blaming others and indeed yourself.
