*BONUS* Dental Pain Control with Tom Viola, R.Ph., C.C.P. Jan 15, 2019

Show notes

Dentistry and Pain are synonymous for so many of our patients. Whether we need to get better about managing the pain or the patient needs to do their part, there is definitely room for improvement. In this episode, Tom does a great job of explaining how pain is perceived by the patient and how to manage both the perception and the pain itself. Tom could speak for hours on this topic and does regularly. Go see him at the next conference he speaks at to learn more!

152 Stages of Life Affected by Airway (Part 2 of 4) Jan 12, 2019

Show notes

Interview starts minute 8:10

In part 2 of the airway series, we talk about life's stages. We begin with babies, even before they are born and the impact that the mother's airway has on the child throughout prenatal existence. Then we continue through life until we reach geriatrics. It's a fascinating journey that I think everyone will enjoy!
