Jason and Alan recorded a live "reunion episode" of the Dental Hacks podcast at Voices of Dentistry 2022! If you didn't have the pleasure of seeing it LIVE, here it is in audio form! The guys did their thing for the audience and invited the other two VoD hosts, Dr. Mark Costes and Dr. Justin Moody up to answer "Ask Us Anything" questions! A good time was had by all!

Very Clinical: Simplify Your Surgical Kit with Dr. Steven Dold
Dr. Steven Dold sat down with Zach and Kevin at Voices of Dentistry in Scottsdale to talk "myths and tips!"
Steven's myth: You need a lot of surgical instruments to take out teeth. Are your surgical kits full of "wants" or "needs?"
Steven's tip: For extractions, cutting a root tip into pieces early in the process rather than making a save for later. #gamechanger #morecutting

The Alan Mead Experience: 5 Things You Can Do to Fight Burnout
Burnout. The very real phenomena experienced by many of us. Dreading the work. Dreading the routine.
Most dentists (and humans, for that matter) experience burnout at times. Your humble host is no exception and frankly is barely hanging on until Spring Break next week. I tried to come up with some tips to help beat burnout and this is what I came up with besides the obvious (and helpful) "take a vacation":
*
Knock something off your long term “to do” list
*
Fire a patient that you hate seeing
*
Exercise
*
Take a break from social media
*
Get deeply involved in something (a book, podcast, cooking, woodworking project)...something that you can find a flow state in
What things have you found help with burnout?

Very Dental: Overtreatment and Ethics with Dr. Dennis Hartlieb
Alan is joined by one of the best teachers in clinical dentistry, Dr. Dennis Hartlieb. Dennis has a podcast called the DOT Sharecast
* Continuing education is about taking away something, not everything.
* Needs, values and resources
* Dental school expectations...dentistry doesn't last forever
* YOU remember the compromises that the patient does not
* A riff on second opinions and overtreatment
* Overtreatment makes us ALL LOOK BAD
* Is All-on-X overused in dentistry? Is implant education pushing this too much?
* "The last treatment that you'll need." Except when it isn't.
* Treat patients...not procedures.
* Ethical pressures...mostly financial
* Medical documentation-->box checking
* Relationship driven dentistry
* "You can't harvest the same day that you're planting seeds."
* "Don't start what you can't finish."
* Polishing a turd
* Failed teeth vs. failed implants
* Heroics and your skill set
* "Are you going to be mad at me if...?"
* If you have to show the patient the chart you've already lost
* Is dentistry easy?

* Dental Online Training (DOT Hands On)
