    Ain't That the Tooth: A Final Thank You

    Send us Fan Mail Join me in my final episode as host of Ain’t That the Tooth. Dr. Richard Mufson flips the script taking on host duties. It's hard to put into words what this experience has meant to me. What started as conversations about dentistry, the profession, and the many stories that connect us has become so much more. It's become a community. A place to learn, laugh, challenge ideas, and celebrate the people who make this profession extraordinary. To every listener who tuned in, shared an episode, sent a message, asked a question, or simply spent part of your day with us—thank you. Your support, encouragement, and engagement have made this journey incredibly rewarding. Knowing that our conversations reached and resonated with people across the profession has been one of the greatest honors of my career. I'm also deeply grateful to everyone behind the scenes and to my technical staff and guests who generously shared their time, expertise, and stories. You've taught me more than you know and made every recording session something I looked forward to. While I'm stepping away from the microphone, my appreciation for this community remains as strong as ever. I'll continue cheering on the success of Ain’t That the Tooth and look forward to seeing where the podcast goes next. Thank you for welcoming me into your offices, your commutes, your workouts, and your lives. It's been a privilege to be part of your journey, and I hope in some small way I've contributed to yours as much as you've contributed to mine. Until we meet again, keep learning, keep growing, keep caring for your patients and each other. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. And as always... Ain't that the tooth. - Yolanda Marrero
