Very Clinical: Bevels, Bonds, and Sleep Apnea Red Flags
4d ago00:38:44Tap to summarizeIn this episode, the guys dive deep into the multifactorial nature of noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Moving past outdated single-cause theories like pure toothbrush abrasion or simple nighttime grinding, the discussion shifts toward a comprehensive look at systemic triggers, specifically the massive role of airway issues and sleep apnea. The hosts debate the intersecting impact of clenching, acid erosion, and periodontic biotypes, sharing their practical clinical approaches to desensitizing protocols, the realities of enamel-bevel bonding, and knowing exactly when it's time to skip the composite and upgrade to a crown.

AME: The Shame Drawer
5d ago00:31:18Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the Alan Mead Experience, Alan faces down a long-hidden clinical shortcoming: his "shame drawer" of inadequate patient charting. Transitioning from a clunky paper-digital hybrid system, Alan discusses how AI-driven dictation and medical scribes are revolutionizing clinical documentation by delivering flawless, detailed notes in a fraction of the time. From discussing the legal and ethical obligations of patient privacy and Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) to confronting the psychological hurdles of the "avoidance loop" in dentistry, this episode is a candid look at overcoming the friction of change. Along the way, Alan shares updates on his upcoming high school band trip to Disney World, thoughts on creepy new AI video avatars, and a reminder of why we should probably all just use the rubber dam more often.

1w ago00:33:22Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Group Function, Alan connects with fellow Michiganders Austin and Lindsay Ritter, the husband-and-wife team behind Ascentcare Dental Products.

They dive deep into the engineering behind their flagship Vacu-Lux Isolation System, explaining how they designed it as a true high-volume evacuation (HVE) system to turn the oral cavity into a negative pressure environment. The discussion covers the critical role of user feedback in small-business R&D, material selection for patient comfort and optical clarity, and their ultra-lightweight Feather Flex Vacuum Line which helps prevent wrist fatigue for hygienists and dentists alike.

2w ago00:34:09Tap to summarizeThe crew is back for Part 2 of their deep dive into classic rock and roll, shifting the conversation from the physical exhibits of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to the fascinating evolution of how we consume and distribute music. Zach, Kevin, and Alan discuss why we love music award shows, the historic regional importance of radio towns like Cleveland and Detroit, and how the transition from crate-digging at local record stores to the infinite buffet of Spotify has completely changed our relationship with music.

AME: Better Chart Notes with AI
2w ago00:29:35Tap to summarizeAlan explores his recent deep dive into hardware-based AI recorders like the Plaud AI and HiDock P1. He details how he successfully utilized the HiDock to transcribe and organize a school chaperone meeting, before tackling the elephant in the room for medical professionals: the high cost of compliant AI scribing software. Alan breaks down why medical AI solutions carry a premium price tag, pointing directly to the legal and liability protections of Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) and the necessity of immediate data deletion for HIPAA compliance. He wraps up by encouraging listeners to look into offline hardware options like the Heidi Remote and invites the community to connect in the Very Dental Facebook group.

Group Function: Reclaiming the "C" Word: Fixing the Reputation of Dental Consulting
2w ago00:37:01Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the Group Function podcast, Alan sits down with Joe Chickerillo and Lana Rivera to recap an incredible Chicago Midwinter meeting and dive deep into why the word "consultant" feels broken in modern dentistry. Joe shares his "first and only" philosophy for evaluating tech startups and disruptive ideas, while Lana leverages her 20+ years of industry experience to unpack the critical anatomy of team buy-in and breaking through professional glass ceilings. Together, they pull back the curtain on the Academy of Dental Management Consultants (ADMC).

Whether you are a practitioner looking for a safe space to solve precise practice bottlenecks or an entrepreneur seeking a cure for the loneliness of the road, this conversation proves why the right collaborative network is the ultimate cheat code for moving the profession forward.

Very Clinical: Very Rock and Roll, part 1
3w ago00:35:34Tap to summarizeIn this special, off-topic feature of the Very Clinical Podcast, hosts Zach and Kevin trade dental bonding agent chat for guitars and grit. They welcome Alan to kick off a multi-part series on the cultural endurance of rock and roll music. Inspired by Alan's recent trip to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the trio dives deep into Kevin's theory of the "grocery store enigma"—the bizarre phenomenon of why 50-year-old classic rock from the 60s, 70s, and 80s still completely dominates grocery stores, dental offices, and sports stadiums today. The guys debate the historical shifts in music distribution, the massive consumer bubble of the Baby Boomer generation, and why these track-driven "comfort foods" with unforgettable hooks have outlasted vintage television and physical albums. From the universal sing-along power of "Sweet Caroline" to the dark, paradigm-shifting arrival of 90s grunge, this episode uncovers why classic rock remains an immortal force in modern culture.

Very Dental: Transparency vs. Tradition and the New Rules of Dental Supplies with George Khoury
3w ago00:32:26Tap to summarizeAlan sits down with George Khoury, VP of Enterprise Sales at Net32, to discuss the evolution of the dental supply industry. Drawing on his 30-year career—spanning the early days of digital X-rays at Schick to nearly two decades at Henry Schein—George provides a candid look at why the traditional "high-touch" sales rep model is facing significant pressure. They explore how Net32 functions as a transparent marketplace, empowering independent "mom and pop" practices to access the same pricing advantages and catalog variety as large DSOs. The conversation highlights the shift toward tech-driven efficiency, the importance of price transparency, and how clinicians can reclaim control over their practice's overhead without being tied to a single distributor.

AME Redux: Joint Ventures and the Prophylaxis Problem
4w ago00:20:59Tap to summarizeIn this throwback episode from 2023 Alan revisits a long-standing "chip on his shoulder": the persistent and often unscientific demand for antibiotic premedication in joint replacement patients. Sparked by his own wife's hip surgery, Alan dives into the disconnect between evidence-based ADA/AAOS guidelines and the "premedicate for life" culture maintained by many orthopedic surgeons. With his signature wit and candid frustration, he explores the risks of antibiotic resistance, the myth of dental-induced bacteremia, and the awkward "middle man" position patients are forced into when dental and surgical philosophies collide.
