We kick off the episode by answering a REDDIT! from Lance in the way that they do on his podcast with Josh Austin called Working Interfences.    Did we do it justice?   Probably not. Did you know Zach's Chiefs play Kevin's Browns this weekend?   Will they be on speaking terms after this weekend?  Whose side are you on? We get into some fancy numbing technologies when we get around to talking clinical.     Lance uses the Wand.   It's really evident that Zach has never seen the Wand and didn't bother googling anything about the Wand prior to the show based on some of the odd questions.   My bad listeners. Then we discuss Anutra.. kind of... none of the guests here use it, so we kind of speculated.. and Zach comes in hot with his DIY buffering method We also talk topical anesthetics.. and some other anesthetic stuff. Is any of this necessary?   Who knows.   Enjoy the listen,  check out the Clinical Hacks FB group and we'll catch you next week. See ya!

Dr. Gina Dorfman kicks off our "Virtual VoD" in January 2021 with a remarkable interview with the one and only Dr. Joshua Austin! The bad boy of Dental Facebook Groups sits down with Dr. Gina Dorfman to talk about his new presentation "The Chamfered Psyche," the stigma of depression and suicide in dentistry, losing his father at a young age, and the vivid dream that he'd give everything he owns to see come true. Plus, Josh's name drops as he remembers some guys (and ladies), shares the hottest of takes and reveals his soft side. This pod was our first ever double-header episode, but despite the first strike, it ended up being a home run.

This encore edition features the triumphant return of fan favorite, Dr. Jamison Spencer! Last episode we conquered sleep dentistry and airway problems. In today's episode, we tackle TMD! A few high questions answered by Jamison in episode 205: Should general dentists be treating TMD? TMD patients are all NUTS (not understanding their symptoms). Most dentists are, too. Why do we have so little evidence for the validity of TMD treatments? What is the most common joint problem and simple treatment options What's the difference between capsulitis and trismus and when should we treat it? When should we give injections outside of the "deep dark hole" that we're used to? Links from the show: Our “Clinical Hack of the Week” features Dr. Zach Meiners and his undying love for teflon tape!

Dr. Brady Smith joins Alan to talk about how charitable dentistry has changed the way he practices dentistry!

Some links from the show: Dr. Brady Smith's Drilled Podcast HALO Dental Network What's the worst procedure in dentistry? I'm guessing that removing a zirconia crown has to be in everyone's top 3. Our friends at Microcopy have taken this problem head on with their new Z Class burs! They've got some burs especially made for cutting through zirconia and I've never used anything like it! I recently used their 1116Z bur to remove a thick zirconia crown and it took ONE BUR and less than 4 minutes. This is truly next level stuff and you need to try them out! Check them out at dentalhacks.com/zcutter. Microcopy makes DAMN GOOD BURS!  

Jordon Comstock of Boomcloud joins Alan to talk about how a membership program can help dental offices in a bunch of ways. Being able to offer patients a "plan." Health insurance has made patients feel like they can't got to the dentist because they aren't "covered." Membership programs can give patients a "plan" in your office! Jordon is the man when it comes to membership programs and BoomCloud can help you administer a plan like this easily and inexpensively!
