Dentists, Implants And Worms

We had the pleasure of having Dr. Jeffrey Wiswall, DDS, MS in-studio with us for this episode of Dentists, Implants and Worms.  Fun fact: Dr. Jeffrey Wiswall is currently the ONLY board certified Endodontist in the state of South Dakota. Endodontists are a rare (and strange) breed of dental specialists... such a rare breed that many dental professionals wonder why these Endodontists go into their specialty to begin with.  That was proven when Gabe asked Dr. Jeff Wiswall if he had lost a bet when he decided to go into Endodontics. We discussed what sort of an edge board certification can give an endodontist when marketing to the public.  Does the public care about board certification?  Find out Dr. Wiswall's opinion in this episode. You can check out more of Dr. Wiswall's work by visiting his website at http://www.drwiswall.com Great discussion with Dr. Wiswall.  Thank you for being on the show!

Here's the conclusion— the second part of our interview with Dr. Edward Zuckerberg, DDS. We talk about so many things— too many to list, really. You'll just have to listen. We were amazed by the innovative mind, the down-to-earth personality and, of course, the exquisite taste in wine that Ed expressed to us. Such an honor! We got the chance to interview Dr. Edward Zuckerberg, DDS— who is notably the father of Mark Zuckerberg (yes, that Mark Zuckerberg). Ed is a fantastic dentist who is just as forward thinking as his son, Mark. In this two-part episode, we were also graced with the presence of Dr. John Landers— so this was our first episode with a full-house in-studio! Not bad for thirteen episodes in. Dr. Zuckerberg is a 1978 graduate of New York University College of Dentistry. He completed a general practice residency at the Brooklyn V.A. Hospital in 1979 and received advanced training in Oral Surgery, Periodontics, Endodontics (Root Canal) and Prosthetics (Crown, Bridges and Dentures). In 1984, Dr. Zucke

We had the pleasure of speaking to Dr. Douglas Chenin, DDS from San Francisco, California on the latest episode of Dentists, Implants and Worms.  Dr. Moody has an interesting connection to Dr. Chenin— they released a DVD series together!  We discuss a wide variety of topics ranging from Cone Beam Readers, orthodontics and sleep medicine.  Also, there may have been a spilled drink in there somewhere. Dr. Chenin graduated from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry and practiced for several years in the San Francisco Bay Area. He then started consulting with Anatomage, the creators of the Invivo5 3D imaging software and the Anatomage Surgical Guide System.

He was also instrumental in the development and initial beta testing for the Anatomage Guide system. After working with Anatomage for five years, he launched his own company cal

This was an interesting one.  We had the honor of having Dr. Brian Prouty join us in-studio... all the way from small-town Watertown, South Dakota!  We discussed everything from sedation dentistry to people's irrational fears of dentists (a fairly common hurdle for the dental professional to jump over).

Episode #8 marks a unique milestone for Dentists, Implants and Worms!  Typically, our guests have included doctors who are friends, colleagues, mentors and classmates of Dr. Moody— but this time, a fan of our show, Dr. Bill Williams, DDS, reached out to us and expressed interest in being a guest. It was a pleasure getting to know him and discussing the business details behind an established practice.  Previously, our podcast topics have mostly included business practices for the dentist coming out of dental school or dentists who have recently bought into a private practice.  Dr. Williams gives us some insight on how the 40-65 year old dentist can finish strong in his or her career. Dr. Williams resides in Atlanta, Georgia where he graduated from the Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry.  He is a published author and serves as a dental advisor/coach under Solstice Dental Advisors in Atlanta.  His number one key to success is to always have 8 cars in the parking lot at 8am.  Sound advice from Dr. Wil
