When can self-imposed limitations be good? Al discusses the pros and cons of placing limits on things to help focus on what's important. Some examples: addiction debt COVID continuing education and procedures that you offer! Some links from the show: The Very Dental Podcast Network website The Paradox of Choice Voices of Dentistry If you would you like support the Very Dental Podcast Network you should support our sponsors! They help us create content that is, for lack of a better word...Very Dental! The Very Dental Podcast Network is brought to you by our friends at Microcopy Dental. Here are 3 reasons that you should check out Microcopy Dental: Their Instagram posts are hysterical. Dental marketing is usually cheesy and appeals to the lowest common denominator. Microcopy Dental posts legitimately funny stuff on their Instagram account! Microcopy makes a wide variety of single use carbides, diamonds and polishers. Such a wide variety that their catalog reminds me of an encyclopedia. But with better pictures. Microcopy dental makes it so you’ll never have to experience that “dull bur” feeling ever again. A new bur. Every. Single. Time. Go check out all Microcopy Dental has to offer at verydentalpodcast.com/microcopy The Very Dental Podcast Network is also brought to you by the fine folks at Zirc. The first time I knew anything about Zirc was a LONG time ago. I tried the Zirc Crystal HD mirror and it’s wrecked me on any other mirror ever since. If you want a dental mirror that reminds you of using an HD TV, you should check out Zirc’s Crystal HD mirror. It comes as a replacement head for any mirror handle you already use or as a single piece. Either way, it will change the way you see everything for the better. Go check out the Crystal HD mirror from Zirc at verydentalpodcast.com/mirrors The Very Dental Podcast network thanks our friends at Cosmedent for all of their support!

Any dentist or dental team member that spends any time in a medical office cannot help but notice the distinct differences in how we treat patients and deliver care. Dr. Tarun Agarwal joins Alan to candidly (and I mean CANDIDLY) talk about what physicians could learn from dental offices and what dental offices might learn from medicine! Some of the topics include: T-Bone talks about meetings and the Voices of Dentistry How COVID affected 3D Dentists...getting back in to "course shape." How hard is it to perf a tooth? Hard...but not impossible! What's new at 3D Dentists? The history of the 3D Dentists retreat. "This is how education should be." Living together is an interesting way to learn The treatment center/addiction during COVID Al's medical problems What medicine can learn from dentistry (and vice versa) The patriarchal approach of medicine may have a place in dentistry Two diabetics walk into a room Water shaming...what is the right amount of water? having to pee all the time at work The Voices of Dentistry!
