Descripción

In this episode, the guys dive deep into the multifactorial nature of noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Moving past outdated single-cause theories like pure toothbrush abrasion or simple nighttime grinding, the discussion shifts toward a comprehensive look at systemic triggers, specifically the massive role of airway issues and sleep apnea. The hosts debate the intersecting impact of clenching, acid erosion, and periodontal biotypes, sharing their practical clinical approaches to desensitizing protocols, the realities of enamel-bevel bonding, and knowing exactly when it's time to skip the composite and upgrade to a crown.

Very Clinical: Very Rock and Roll, part 4

Zach, Kevin and Al have been tiptoeing around it for three episodes, but today we do a deep dive on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! The guys break down the highly secretive, two-step nomination process—debunking the illusion of the "fan vote"—and call out the historical genre biases that left iconic stadium rock, heavy metal, and progressive bands frozen out for decades. From debating the definition of "innovation" versus "commercial success" to throwing down over legendary snubs like The J. Geils Band, Weird Al, and INXS, this episode is a passionate, witty look at the politics, snobbery, and enduring legacy of the music that shapes our culture.

AME: The Disney Experience

In this episode, Alan returns from a high-stakes, five-day marathon chaperoning a high-school band trip to Orlando. Behind the magic of Disney venues, full-on recording sessions, and a 48-hour round-trip bus ride, he finds a fascinating study of human behavior under pressure. From Disney's multi-million-dollar mastery of the queue to a universal lack of spatial awareness on the park paths, Alan breaks down the massive operational scale of a resort employing 80,000 people. True to form, he bridges these observations directly back to the clinical environment—comparing the luxury of "zero-wait" scheduling to Disney's paid Lightning Lanes, and exploring what happens to a clinician's empathy and patience when running on a low "body battery" and physical pain. It is an honest, humorous look at what a frantic trip to the Happiest Place on Earth can teach us about running a smooth practice and protecting our own resilience.

Very Dental: 12 Years in Podcasting, part 2

Celebrating his 12th anniversary in podcasting, host Dr. Alan Mead presents a special episode of The Very Dental Podcast featuring a re-release of the second installment of The Dental Hacks Podcast from June 2014. Dr. Mead kicks off the show by recalling how the original "cliffhanger" format originally drove a young Dr. Zach Meiners crazy, leading to a nostalgic and concurrent release of this payoff episode. The vintage episode continues the original show's signature style, combining a feature interview with a group "Brain Trust" discussion. The feature interview concludes with Dr. Lance Timmerman sharing his candid insights on incorporating sleep apnea treatment and medical insurance billing into a dental practice. The episode concludes with the second installment of the Brain Trust—featuring Dr. Jason Luchtefeld, Dr. Dawn Grimes, Dr. Tammy Bailey, and Dr. Andy Hayes—as they engage in a lively debate on the future of sleep medicine, dental school debt, and the rising tide of corporate dentistry.

The vintage episode highlights the origin of the show's format, combining a feature interview with a group "Brain Trust" discussion.

Very Clinical: Very Rock and Roll, part 3

Welcome back to Very Clinical for "Rock and Roll, Part 3"—the latest installment of our ongoing, completely dentistry-free detour into the music that shaped our lives. In this episode, Zach, Kevin (aka: K-Rock), and Alan shift the spotlight away from the frontmen and look at the "corporate" machinery and unsung geniuses behind the greatest eras of pop and rock. We dive deep into the legendary collective of freelance studio masters in LA known as The Wrecking Crew [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrecking_Crew_(music)] and Detroit's incredibly prolific hit-makers, The Funk Brothers [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Funk_Brothers], revealing how some of the most definitive tracks of the 60s and 70s were actually built by daily session workers. From the carefully manufactured magic of "Corporate Rock" and the television-born crossover of The Monkees to the fine line between artistic theft and genuine innovation, we examine how the music industry built its most profitable formulas—and how those formulas repeatedly triggered counter-cultural rebellions like punk and grunge. Some links from the show: * "The Wrecking Crew" documentary [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhl-3EOYTkc] * "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" documentary [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tqQBh2Ra_o] * "20 Feet From Stardom" documentary [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWyUJcA8Zfo] * "That Thing You Do" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhyO3Pc6oSI] * The Lexington Lab Band [https://www.youtube.com/@LexingtonLabBand] Join the Very Clinical Facebook group!
