We start this episode with a patient story from the doctor’s past that will have you disbelieving and laughing. Then in Dental School 101 we detail a very disturbing sleep aid device trend that for some odd reason many dentists are selling their patients on, while causing irreversible damage. Hear what red flags you have to be aware of. And we have more insider industry info you can’t miss in Ask The Expert and an exclusive Q&A session featuring questions Dr. Shoup does not see ahead of time.

We start this episode with a Dr. Shoup Story. Why did a former patient in the 1980s jump out of the dental chair and threaten to beat up Dr. Shoup? And in Dental School 101 we discuss how your face and mouth can take on a lot less water during your hygiene cleanings. No more drowning in water if you follow these tips. The doctor also details what dentists should be doing to prevent water touching any spec of your tooth/teeth during precise restorations. Plus, what is the latest Robert Kennedy health stance that Dr. Shoup is beside himself about, and how it may have contributed to the needless death of a child suffering from the measles virus.

Our first story features someone who was told by Dr. Shoup several years ago they were facing serious whole mouth bacteria issues that could lead to cardiovascular problems. They chose to go back to a dentist located much closer to their home who did not treat them for these issues. Now, they’re coming back to Microscope Dentistry by Shoup after experiencing a major health event. Plus, the Doctor discusses another patient who liked the fact that their former hygienist took it easy on them and that they were only treated and examined for 30 minutes or less during overall dental appointments. Now, this patient is facing late stage periodontal disease and will be losing teeth as a result.
