    #78 Could Poor Communication Drive Patients Away From Your Practice?

    Do your patients feel stressed when they visit your office? Let’s talk about what clues you might be missing and how to address them. In this episode, learn how stress can impact dental health, leading to issues like bruxism and TMJ disorders. Have you heard about "white coat syndrome"? Patients get scared when they see someone in a doctor’s coat. New Halloween costume idea! But seriously, we shared some lessons from a viral complaint about poor patient care. We hope it never happens to any of us.  That being said, Teresa is a huge fan of Veronica from 90 Day Fiance who is the patient in the story. Teresa says “HMU, Veronica!” Key Takeaways: Stress affects oral health—consider asking patients about their stress levels. "White coat syndrome" is real; make your practice more welcoming to reduce anxiety. Patient communication and compassion are critical, especially during staff or ownership changes. Don’t let insurance dictate necessary treatments; personalized care comes first. Small issues in patient care can go viral—be proactive in addressing concerns. Want more insights like these?

    #76 Could Your Ancestors Have Been Victims of the Tsavo Lions

    Did you know that two lions in Kenya once killed at least 28 people? These lions, known as the Tsavo Lions, became famous for attacking workers building a railway. But could your ancestors have been among their victims? In this episode, we talk about the scary story of the Tsavo Lions, who killed many workers in 1898.

We also dive into the ethics of studying human remains and why researchers don’t want to test the teeth of the lions. We also link this story to the bigger history of slavery and colonization. We also chat about how animals' teeth can teach us about history, migration, and even the health of different populations. Key Moments: The story of the Tsavo Lions and their attacks on workers.
