Her story is a real testament to the importance of continuing our education!

Machell feels blessed to have a job where she is able to positively impact the lives and health of her patients who she considers as family.

Episode 123 - Lasers in Dentistry pt 2 with Nicole Fortune Interview begins at 6:45 In this episode we build upon our knowledge from last episode. Nicole shares her experiences with laser and their relation with implants. She also shares some of her thoughts on perioscopes and all of the other tools she gets to use. She is a wealth of knowledge and loves to share. You can find her in the Dental Implants Uncovered facebook group or email her at [email protected] She is available to speak at your next event! She also wanted to be clear on one point. She messaged us later to add, "Hi again. I'm thinking back on your question if it matters more which laser you use or the operator. I'm not sure I answered well enough. Different lasers are better for different tasks. However the operator is a key factor. The right tool in the wrong hands could be a disaster."

So full disclosure - Michelle sent this to me and I havent listened to it yet except to make sure there were words actually spoken out loud and recorded. I did hear a part where someone was doing an imitation of something that happened or someone, and then they screamed and then everyone started laughing. I also heard someone (I think it was Daniel??) say "well most people suck"... I am sure there is context for it but you have to listen to get it! I am going to go out on a limb here and say that this is a pretty good episode. Also, I assume that since Linda Miller of PDT fame, Daniel Lopez of internet trolling of dentists fame, and Emily Boge of the Boge 513 fame were all there, they probably make an appearance on the episode somewhere and good times were had by all. With Love, Andrew PS - Dont expect real show notes to be added later. PPS - Unless Michelle threatens my life, but even then... dont hold your breath. PPS - Thanks for listening!
