My team and I had a fantastic speaker, Dr. Charles Whitney, MD come and speak at Center Place in Spokane, WA.  You all had an invitation so it is your own fault you did not come! The presentation was fantastic and in this episode, I summarize a few of the highlights that I got from the meeting.

This talk was 3 hours but in this 19-minute episode, you will get a taste of what he discussed.  Dr. Whitney also talked about 3rd Era Dentistry and on the practical side of implementing the protocols he discussed.  Sign up now for next year’s CE events including Foundation Training, Implants 101 for the Team and an international well know speaker in the Fall! This is a very special guest and I can’t even tell you who it is until we get closer to the event!

EP054: QOD, Part 2 of Great by Choice, Complications from Coronectomy, F150 vs Cement Truck

Interesting Case ButtonThis week starts with little message about why a woman’s mind is cleaner than a man’s. I then go into part 2 of Great by Choice by Collins. Productive paranoia and the 20-mile march are discussed. I then go into an article review that discusses the risks with coronectomy or partial removal of lower third molars and why one would consider this and what can happen. This article is directly applicable to any dentist who sees patients with third molars.

The interesting case is a must see! This gentleman crashed head on to a cement truck while driving his F150 and sustained a severe naso orbital ethmoid fracture. I discuss the key elements of the surgery and repair and show some killer pictures. You don’t want to miss these!

ThInteresting Case Buttonis week starts with a quote by Don Marquis on procrastination. I then review an article discussing carotid artery calcifications found on CBCT scans.

I love Jim Collins’ work and this book on Great by Choice starts this week and is really a great read and review if I do say so myself! I have an interesting case of a young male patient who was, (minding his own business), skateboarding and fell and broke his jaw in two places and managed not to get any extra oral cuts on his face. I show some cool 3D scan of his bilateral mandible fracture and the final panorex fixed.

EP049: QOD by Isaac Asimov, Last Installment of Strength Based Leadership, RX Drug Abuse and Oral Surgeons, Leukemia and tooth development


Interesting Case ButtonThis week starts with a quote by Isaac Asimov, and then we discuss why followers get behind their leaders and follow. After all, a leader without followers is just out for a walk.

I also go over my top five strengths as assessed by the Strength Finders test. The article I reviewed is an editorial by James Hupp on prescription drug abuse and Oral Surgeons. The stats are incredible and scary.

The interesting case shows a panorex and the extracted teeth, including mutant teeth after a young man went through chemotherapy for leukemia, causing a systemic disruption and abnormal tooth development. You will want to see this!
