In this episode of The Perio Hygienist Podcast, Dr. Ben Young reflects on his personal and professional journey in dentistry, beginning in the late 1970s and continuing through challenges like COVID-19. He shares insights on how the pandemic reshaped small practices, fueled the growth of corporate dentistry, and changed the culture of the profession. Along the way, he revisits the role of organized dentistry, professional standards, and what it means to look back on a career that feels—despite the decades—like just a blink.
