Dentist Brain Candy is designed for the dentist who likes to learn and improve their practice. The information and content delivered is designed to help the restorative dentist move their practice forward.
Each week we start off with an quote that gets the mental gears turning, a book review which will be digested for the listener over a series of episodes pulling out relevant material and applying it to the dental practice.
Next an article will be reviewed from the literature and available for download. The show will close with an interesting case that I have come across. Pictures and radiographs, when appropriate will be on the website to review as well.
The benefits include having a virtual dental buddy that you can listen to and “hang out with” and talk shop and grow your experience, knowledge and enthusiasm for our profession.
