On today's episode, we feature our final episode from the 2023 Voices of Dentistry podcast room, where guests were able to come up on a whim and talk about whatever, whenever. A ton of fun, and today, we kick things off with Paul Saueressig and Duane Tinker. They teamed up to form MCSTeams where they make practices safe by eliminating microbial activity and much more! Lastly, Dr. Mark Costes talks with Dr. Alex Wardian as they go over personal matters and we get an exciting look at some advice that Mark hands over to Alex, pertaining to buying a practice. Tune in as we wrap up the interviews from VoD!
