Fentanyl. It's a drug that many of us have heard about but do not know what it actually is, how its used, and the seriousness for those who use it. Lucky for all of us, we have Tom Viola on this week to break it down for us in 7 minutes or less.
Many of us have experienced a form of seasonal depression when the days are shorter and colder but what happens when those feelings don't leave? Life is hard and its not uncommon to get overwhelmed and spiral, but it's what you do in those times that matters. In this episode Dr. Richard Low is on the show to talk about his recent journey, the dark times that almost led to a destroyed marriage, and what he did to pull himself back out of it. It's an inspiring message for all of us! @nextlevelfathers.dmd or @doctor.richard.low on insta

It's a bit of a friction point when an office asks the dental hygiene team to help fill the schedule by calling patients. We literally have positions in the office whose main task is answering and placing calls to patients. Additionally, there is an unbalance between the hygiene and restorative department - the restorative department is almost never asked to make calls to patients for appointments. Be that as it may, this TIPisode gives some points to ponder about why it might be a GREAT idea for RDHs to pick up the phone and make some calls, give it a listen!
Are you ready for some honest conversations about the dentist-hygienist dynamic? Tune in to this week's episode of our podcast, where Drs. David Rice and Pam Maragliano-Muniz sit down with dental hygienists Danielle Avila and Laura Bettencourt for a candid discussion.

Together, we'll explore the common peeves that hygienists have about dentists, and vice versa, while offering insights on fostering a more collaborative and harmonious work environment. Whether you're a dentist or a hygienist, this episode promises to shed light on ways we can better understand and support each other in providing top-notch dental care. So grab your headphones and join us for an enlightening and entertaining conversation! Resources: https://endeavor.swoogo.com/awardofdistinction25
