Dentists, Implants And Worms

Tarun Agarwal, DDS (host of the T-Bone Speaks Podcast) has managed to evade The Worms until one fateful afternoon at the Voices of Dentistry Podcast Summit in Nashville, TN.  T-Bone finally speaks to The Worms!  Great podcast covering Tarun's insight on work/life balance and the ever changing state of dentistry— "Say Goodbye to 80s Dentistry!"  Here's Part One of our two hour podcast!

Back in November (Episode 41) we had an aspiring young dental student (currently heading into his senior year of undergrad) named Brandon Evert.  He's awesome and on a great track to a successful start of his dental career.  We liked him so much that we decided to have him back for an update on his progress through dental school. Brandon goes back home to Geneva, Chicago when he's not in school which prompted a slightly derailed discussion about the World Series.  Justin proves that when you are a successful dentist (like Brandon Evert is going to be) you have no problem going to Game 4 of the World Series and throwing down $1,000 on a table at Cubby's... just to pre-game before the game itself.  Oh, the life of a dentist. He right in the middle of his educational career at Indiana University, expected to graduate in 2018.  So, while he is by far our youngest guest to be on the podcast… He proved himself to be quite the budding dentist!  Moody even grilled him over interview questions that they would ask whil

You may remember Erin Elliott, DDS from her previous episodes on Dentists, Implants and Worms back in June 2016 where she was in Rapid City doing a sleep apnea continued education course for Justin's staff. (Sleeping with Erin Elliott, Pt 1 and 2)  Well, she's back this time via Skype from her home in Post Falls, Idaho!  We've never said this to anyone else before... but Erin Elliott is our favorite guest.  She may as well be called the "Queen of the Worms."  How's that for an official title, Erin?

THE Joshua Austin from The Accidental Geniuses podcast joins us via Skype for one hell of a podcast.  Of course, we discuss the usual dental BS— but the true content deep in the core of the podcast is when Josh goes into how you can use dental imaging technology for dick pics.  Judging by how NOT CHEAP dental imaging equipment is, they very well may be the worlds most expensive dick pics.

The Worms are back from a brief hiatus and, man, does it feel good to be back!  Thanks for sticking with us through this little break.  Blame Justin's travel schedule and be thankful that Jeff did not decide to go rogue again. On today's episode, Nick Raithel of Content Corps (aka The Seven Hour Book) explains why every dentist should write and publish their own book using his streamlined process.  It can be a useful marketing tool that is often overlooked and not even attempted by your competition due to the time commitment (or potential costs).

Visit royshelburne.com for more information! From Roy, himself: Most dentists live in fear of litigation but few worry about going to prison. Nonetheless, I went to prison on August 20, 2008 and was released on May 14, 2010. If you'd like, take a deep breath, hold on, and take a ride with me through a health care providers worst nightmare. Take heart....there are ways to prevent what happened to me from happening to you. Born in Pennington Gap, VA, I was "raised" on a farm in rural southwest Virginia. Growing up there I learned to love the people and the scenery of the Appalachian Mountains. The second of 4 boys born to a High School agriculture teacher and a registered nurse, working on the farm instilled the importance of hard work. I'm deeply thankful to my parents for the example they set for me. I graduated from Pennington High School in 1973, with honors, and was accepted and enrolled at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville the fall semester of that same year. I was a 1977 graduate of the Univers

When someone moves to a new area... they need to find a dentist, especially for their families.  Well, where do they start?  How do they make their choice?  What sort of seemingly little things are being overlooked when it comes to marketing in the information age? Justin and Gabe are out of town for this one, so Jeff is at the helm with a good friend of his, Thomas Golden, who is a big fan of the podcast, despite not being a dentist.  He knows as much about dentistry as Jeff does, so this should be interesting! Thomas is a Navy veteran with three kids and a loving wife who have followed him around the country from city to city.  He has had his fair share of dental experiences, which makes him a perfect guest for our podcast!  We've never quite had just a patient on the show.  Usually we have the doctors, the mentors, the scientists, the educators, the marketers, the business managers... but never just a patient to give us some insight. Take it as you will... if you don't get anything from it, hopefully you w
