What is better than a roundtable discussion going back to the basics? Not much if you ask me and Crystal and Hartley were so much fun to be around. If you are looking to brush up on the "why", then this episode is for you. We touched lightly about a lot of the popular topics - careers beyond clinical, whitening, ergonomics and handpieces, mobile dentistry so so much more.

We also had on Mike Rust who works for one of the leading companies for waterline safety, ProEdge and so you will get to know him a bit more and hear his passion about keeping people safe. We talk about pathogens, we talk about real life instances where legal action has been brought, we talk about all the crazy places Amanda has tested water from airports and airplanes to hotel fountains and more.
