Dr. Frank Clayton joins Kevin and Zach in this throwback episode to talk about roundhouse sealants, running on time and choosing predictability!

Original show notes:

Frank Clayton seals everything from teeth to driveways to decks and no job is too big, no crack is too large. How many sealants can you place in a single setting?

All joking aside, Frank waxes poetic on predictability and finding your happy place in dentistry. Being the decathlon dentist isn't for Frank. He likes to crush on things he's great at.

Per usual, Frank brings the funny, but we also coerce him into giving some actual clinical tips with products and stuff on high speed crowns.
