#23 - Nothing but the Tooth - a Conversation with Druh Shah

Dynamo, workaholic, insomniac, leader - all these terms and more apply to this week’s guest, Druh Shah.

 

The periodontist, educator and founder of Dentinal Tubules talks us through his early years and some of the formative experiences that were the making of one of dentistry’s true legends.

 

Druh also chats leadership, vision, values, overcoming adversity and much more.

 

Enjoy!

 

“Dentists were taught to deal with the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth. Ultimately...they think small, they think detailed, they think that bigger-picture thinking is missing. True leadership in dentistry's thinking leadership is, "here's a vision, let's go towards it."”
