🦷 Ready to feel more confident doing endo?

Join me in Chicago on October 16th for Endo Unlocked: Build Confidence. Master Technique. — a full-day, hands-on endodontic program in collaboration with the AGD Academy of General Dentistry

We’re going beyond theory and working through the entire endodontic workflow — from diagnosis to final restoration.
You’ll get hands-on experience with:
🔬 The Zumax microscope
🧠 CBCT interpretation with AI
⚙️ Rotary AND reciprocating instrumentation
💧 Modern irrigation techniques and technology
💡AI CBCT interpretation
🦷 Practical clinical strategies you can bring back to your practice immediately

This course is designed to help take some of the uncertainty out of endo and replace it with a clearer process, better technique, and greater clinical confidence.
It’s going to be practical.
It’s going to be interactive.
And most importantly — you’re going to DO endo.

📍 Chicago
📅 October 16, 2026
🎓 One-day hands-on program
If you want endodontics to feel more predictable when you sit down for your next case, this is the room you want to be in.

Some messages are bigger than a podcast episode.

“Cancer Never Wins” isn’t about pretending cancer doesn’t take from us. It’s about refusing to let cancer define the final chapter.
Because the love we give, the lives we touch, the people we help, and the impact we leave behind can’t be taken away.

Cancer never wins.

Love never ends.

Long. Curved. Calcified.
This is where your glide path earns its keep. 🦷

Challenging premolar anatomy is not the time to rush—or force your files.

Start with small, stiff or c hand files to create a reproducible glide path. Then progressively shape with controlled engagement:
Engage. Withdraw. Clean the flutes. Repeat.

In this Pretendo demonstration using the ExactTaper HDC rotary system by SS White SS White Dental, I progress from the or***ce shaper through the 14/.03, 17/.03, 18/.04, and 20/.04—allowing each instrument to follow the established pathway rather than attempting to create one.

The goal is not simply to reach working length. It is to preserve the original anatomy while creating a safe, efficient, and predictable preparation.

Patience creates progress.
The glide path creates control.

How large would you prepare this canal?

“Stop fighting anatomy — let the file adapt to it”
 
The XP4D system, broken down 🦷

Starter (purple, 20) → glide path only, no or***ce shaper needed if your hand files already did the work. Smooth entry, smooth exit — think tai chi, not force.

Standard (blue, 30) → inserts like a normal file, but that mid-shaft loop gives you adaptive cleaning you just can’t get with a straight taper.

Medium (black, 40) → bigger loop, bigger reach. Watch the debris come out on withdrawal — that’s the file reshaping to the canal and pulling everything with it.

There’s a Large (yellow, 50) too, but for this anatomy it’s overkill. Your call if you want to test it.

Key takeaway: a clean glide path + consistent flute wiping = the whole system flows. No shortcuts on debris removal.

📌 Save this for your next case 💬

Which size do you reach for most?

Join me for an engaging free webinar on Tuesday 7/21 at 7pm CST - registration link in my bio!

This presentation teaches a
practical, evidence-based approach to local anesthesia designed to improve both patient comfort and clinician efficiency. Participants will learn how to apply gate control theory, tissue-pulling techniques, and computer-controlled delivery systems to minimize injection discomfort, as well as how to manage “hot” teeth using a structured step-up anesthesia protocol. Emphasis is also placed on verifying true anesthetic success and reducing occupational strain through improved delivery methods and ergonomic strategies, while recognizing and managing common anesthesia-related complications.

“Self-criticism doesn’t make you better. It’s the thing quietly destroying you.” -Sigmar Berg

Perfectionism we can work with. Self-criticism is different - it’s the thing that actually wrecks your frequency, and everyone around you feels it too.

You don’t get “ready” for the next level of consciousness before you start. You get ready by doing it, failing, and doing it again.

It’s not a target or an end game. It’s a journey.

Stop scrolling if you read CBCTs. This is about to change how you look at every scan. 🦷🤖

AI is entering every corner of dentistry — CBCT interpretation included. This is Clever One software, and the level of detail in this 3D rendering is unreal.

Watch it clear the bone around tooth #7 to reveal the root canal filling, segment pulp tissue from filling material by color, and even isolate the cement layer — so you can catch recurrent caries before it becomes a problem.

The old rule was: everything above the bone is useless on a CBCT, everything below is the “magic.” This software breaks that rule. You get full clarity on restorations, periapical healing, and surrounding bone — all pre-segmented the moment you open the scan.

For any GP, this is the difference between minutes of squinting and instant orientation.
