Al is joined by Youtube sensation, Dr. Ash Mark! Ash has joined the Very Clinical crew many times but this is the first time Al sat down to talk dentistry. 
On being a hockey dad How the Youtube channel started All Things Dentistry is like dental school on Youtube Driving a minivan vs. a race car Lots of mistakes = lots of practice = a gift Ash feels no pressure to put out video content Two content creators talking about the process Two reasons for a microscope (he was voluntold in residency) Does Ash record everything?  Real dentistry vs. Instagram dentistry People don't want to have dentistry done (efficient...don't waste your patient's time) Profound anesthesia required Is endo the most "given up" procedure? Hard to dabble. Stress test your endo files on extracted teeth! Extracted teeth are harder to come by due to ridge preservation The pros and cons of Youtube Some links from the show:
