This one I feel kind of selfish posting this one, but it was interviewed. It's about me today, right? It's my story, my origin, what drives me. But I was interviewed by a very fascinating dental student called Nav. Jaz Introduction:Nav Bhatti And he's an up and coming content creator. I liked his style. I liked his realism. Very real world. I always got time for people like that. He's actually a British citizen studying dentistry history in Slovakia, previously having studied in Egypt and Ukraine. So he's got a really interesting story and we didn't actually get time to unpack it because he came to my practice where I work and he shadowed for a bit and then the plan was to record. But while recording about 25 minutes in, which is why this podcast is as long as is, which is why it's a kind of shorter episode. My wife calls me and at this stage, it kind of sums up the entire sort of month I've had, right?  My family has been plagued by illnesses like my baby, Sihaan 10 months had like back to back viruses and when the kids are not sleeping we'll get like 2 -3 hours sleep a night and then unfortunately my eldest, almost 5 years old, he was in hospital for 2 nights on IV drips, severe dehydration, projectile vomiting, you name it, the whole shebang and then it finally got to my wife as well. I was the last man standing, I kind of told the universe and this is crazy, I had Gary Vee say this once, he said, I told the universe I'm too busy to fall sick. Right? And so that's my theory of why I didn't fall sick. I just told the universe, no, not today. But anyway, it's been a really challenging few months and then it kind of got epitomized by what happened while we were recording that my wife called me and she was in bed, she just couldn't move. And she had a baby and I was like, oh my God, I better rush home. And thankfully I live very close to where I work. And I said, Nav, I'm so sorry. I've got to go. And so the reason to share that with you is just to remind you that we're all going to have bad months. Okay?

Should you be concerned when composites come back with staining? Is that actually caries though? Or is it just harmless staining? Is there something we can do to prevent our patients from cracking their teeth? And that age old question of when should we think about intervening on someone who's exhibiting hairline cracks in their teeth? Jaz’s Introduction:You see, Protruserati, these are dentistry's tough questions. There's no hard and fast rules. There's lots of opinion because we lack the clinical trials. But you know what? If I was going to ask someone their opinion, I'd want this person to be very experienced. So how is 43 years? Is that good enough for you? I think that's pretty good. Okay. What kind of dentist should this person be? Okay. Well, let me tell you the guy who we have on today. This is Dr. Lane Ochi. Not only is one of the most brilliant dentists ever, he's also the most humble dentist ever. This is a beautiful combination. And he really embodies everything that Protrusive is about, everything our community is about. This guy practiced for 43 years in Beverly Hills. He treated Miss Americas and celebrities, but when you speak to him, he's just the loveliest, most humble man. So it's a great pleasure to host him here today.

It was just so brilliant yet so simple. Many of you are probably already doing this, but you know, sometimes it resonates with me that you know what, this simple little tweak, I can use this in my practice and what it was and what the pearl was, is to get the patient's photos. What I mean by that is the intraoral photos that you take, for example, of cracks like the big theme of this episode is talk about communication and crack teeth and predicting longevity. All the tough questions, like I said. But a powerful tip is to take a photo of the crack. Now, we've said that tip before. You know that already, but how about now escalating this and getting the patient to take out their phone and use their camera ...
