Dr Tom talks about his love- the phase contrast microscope. Nothing helps the conversation with patients about periodontal health better than seeing their own periodontal pathogens up on a 65-inch screen. This technology helps to transfer ownership of the disease back to the patient. Listen to Dr Tom talk about his journey into the microscopic world of dental biofilm.

Dr Tom and Dr Mike talk about the evolution and growth of dentistry and the opportunities that dental professionals have in the overall health of patients. Recorded in Nashville at the Future of Dental Hygiene is Now conference.

Dr Tom and Dr Mike ponder the question of whether dental hygiene is being taken seriously enough in big case treatment planning. The value of Dental Hygienists and dental hygiene can be overlooked by single-focused practitioners. Also, Dr Mike losses sleep after Dr Tom sends him a social media post that he received.

Dr Mike travels to Galway, Ireland to learn the Buteyko Breathing Method with the master, Patrick McKeown. Humble, gracious, welcoming, generous, caring, and smart- that's Patrick McKeown.

Dr Tom talks with two very special dental hygienists that are making huge impacts in dentistry- Sue Rusalen and Barbara Tritz.

Dr Mike and Dr Tom get to the root cause of bad sleep and bad breathing. What do so many of our patients who feel fatigued, unable to focus, anxious, and/or unrefreshed in the morning have in common? A compromised airway. One of our hygiene superstar superpowers is the ability to identify this root cause and get help. Dr Mike uses Vivos appliances to non surgically remodel these compromised airways.
