Working Interferences Dental Podcast
249 episodes - English - Latest episode: 4 months ago - ★★★★★ - 192 ratingsA dental podcast for the AVERAGE dentist. No question is too controversial for Lance Timmerman DMD and his guests. Questions are NOT ”best bonding agent” or ”best impression material.” You know, like ”can I harm my assistant for being annoying?”, or ”how much oral sex is too much after gum grafts?” or even, ”Will my DNA be altered by getting a bone graft from cadaver bone?” The information that ALL dentists need. Where we coined the term ”Bukkake Honor Circle”

May 10, 2023 02:38 - 48 minutes - 39 MBWe are back for more, giving Yapi love like we do... Seriously, don't be dumb. We traveled, but not together. Ever done a solo trip? Advice today was for 3 anonymous posts. They really get around. First: How do you handle a parent that you have never met that brings in long time pediatric patients and makes a scene?

Promise. Is it MANDATORY to give time off for a funeral? Are you a heartless bastard? Does the office have a cell phone? How do you text? At end of day, does everyone leave together? If someone stays late, do you ALL stay late?! All this begs the question, why did we apply to dental school?!?
Episode 235:Cologne Street Sh!tter
April 11, 2023 13:58 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MBSome of the best parts of travel is hearing the weirdest stuff from history. Past generations were as messed up as we are! We made our way to Strasbourg, Luxembourg, and Cologne. Oh, yeah... for a dental meeting....

November 03, 2021 20:21 - 55 minutes - 37.9 MBHey, it is episode 200! Did we decided to do something special? Did we recruit a great guest? Did we have a bunch of recorded shout outs from dental celebrities? No. No to any of the above. Same shit, different episode. Stay in your lane, bros.
