He has been teaching at Louisville since 2020, where he works with the residents to teach them a wide variety of new techniques and procedures.

We discuss new procedures, what they are moving away from, and how they try to produce well-rounded pediatric dentists. They also have CO2 lasers to allow the residents to do TOT work!
