    Bright Smiles, Bigger Profits: The Untapped Power of Teeth Whitening

    Today we’re diving into one of the most accessible—and often underestimated—practice builders in dentistry: teeth whitening. While many clinicians view whitening as a simple cosmetic add-on, the truth is that it plays a much larger role in patient satisfaction, case acceptance, and overall practice growth. From strengthening patient relationships to opening the door to more advanced cosmetic and restorative treatment, whitening can be one of the most powerful services a dental practice provides.

    How a Dentist Transformed Her Career with an AI-Driven, Remote-Staffed Practice

    With a fully remote staff powered by AI-driven software, her practice is a seamless, tech-enabled machine.

The efficiency she’s created would have been unimaginable just a few years ago, but today, it’s her new normal. Our guest is Dr. Carla Cohn, a general dentist, who has devoted her practice exclusively to the treatment of children. She practices in Canada and is the founder of LitSmileAcademy.com.

    Why LANAP Is Changing the Perio Surgery Conversation

    Today we’re talking about a treatment that’s changing the way dentists manage periodontal disease—the LANAP protocol with the PerioLase MVP-7 Nd:YAG laser. Dr. Tyler will tell us why LANAP changed the way he saves teeth, and how it’s become a true practice builder—minimally invasive, patient-friendly, and requiring no grafts, membranes, or biologics. It actually regenerates alveolar bone, cementum and PDL.

    What Can Doom Your Implants? Uncovering the Risks of Implant Failure

    Today we’re taking a closer look at dental implants and the key factors that influence their long-term success—from what patients can do to lower their risk of peri-implantitis, to whether CBCT imaging has become the new standard of care in implant dentistry. We’ll also examine the role of systemic health, including the connection between bisphosphonate use and osteonecrosis of the jaw, as well as the latest insights on how antacids, particularly proton pump inhibitors, may affect implant outcomes. Our guest is Dr. Jon Suzuki, Professor of Microbiology and Immunology and of Periodontology and Oral Implantology at Temple University. A former Dean at the University of Pittsburgh, he has chaired the FDA Dental Products Panel, led the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs, and served on numerous NIH committees.

    Seal the Deal: Perfecting Rubber Dam Placement in Endodontics

    We’re diving into a fundamental—yet often underappreciated—pillar of successful endodontics: the rubber dam. Our guest is Dr Robert Milad, a passionate endodontist from Cairo, Egypt, who brings 8 years of clinical experience and a deep commitment to education—training both dental students and fellow clinicians in the art and science of rubber dam isolation. He believes the key to mastering rubber dam placement is keeping an open mind, experimenting with different techniques, and eventually developing a system that’s both efficient and effective.

    The Blue Light Hazard in Dentistry: What You Need to Know

    Today, we’re shedding light—quite literally—on a hidden hazard in the dental operatory: blue light exposure. Dental curing lights have increased in intensity over the past few decades, now delivering up to a staggering 6000 milliwatts per square centimeter. While this shortens curing times, it also means clinicians are exposed to higher doses of blue light in a much shorter period, making it especially dangerous. Even brief exposure can cause retinal damage. What can we do to protect ourselves? Our guest is Dr. Marie Fluent. Dr. Fluent’s dental career spans over 35 years and includes all roles within the dental practice. She is passionate and deeply committed to improving dental infection control and clinicians and patient safety. Through her writing, webinars, and invited lectures, she has educated thousands of dental professionals and students nationally and internationally.
