The Very Dental Podcast Network Asking the Right Questions with Dr. Darin Dichter Encore Edition
Jason and Alan sat down to talk with Dr. Darin Dichter from Spear Education. They were taking the 3-day Occlusion Workshop and Darin was one of the instructors. This wide ranging discussion is spectacular and covers:
- Occlusion philosophies
- Dental School
- Continuing education and the struggle to implement ("getting reps")
- Student loan debt
- Not all dentists are clinicians!
- Critical thinking and understanding the literature
- Being a nontraditional student and perspective outside of school
- What is a terminal dentition, when do you know how to treat it and what's the "Treating the Terminal Dentition" course all about?
