- Health & Fitness
We are real practicing dentists who have a passion for giving pre-dental, dental students, and new dentists the unfiltered information they need to succeed and thrive in dentistry. We’ve experienced first hand what it’s like to want to be a dentist, travel down the road of education, and then embark on a career in dentistry.

The Return of the Dental Realist Podcast
Dental Realist is back! After a long break, the Dental Realist Podcast is back with an all-new episode. Join us as we discuss whether or not dental students should get paid for the treatment they provide patients during dental school. Dental students pay for dental school. Patients pay for treatment at the dental school. So should dental students be paid a percentage of the revenue they create for the dental school? We discuss the possibility of this and some of the benefits and drawbacks.
Join us for the triumphant return of the Dental Realist Podcast. We would be honored if you would join us!

Ethical Obligations
Throughout our careers all dentists will see failing dentistry and even have our own work fail eventually. But what if it was treatment that was performed recently by us or another dentist? How should those situations be communicated to patients and even to a patient's previous dentist, if necessary? And what if you suspect there has been a case of over-diagnosis or over-treatment? We discuss all of this and much more on Episode 59.
