The conversation with Dr. Kessler last week couldn’t be contained. This week Dr. Pam and Dr. Brian continue last week’s discussion with the past president of the American Dental Association, Dr. Brett Kessler, and things heated up.

The very personal nature of dentistry is full display this week as they discuss the future of organized dentistry, what it means to each of them, and the support provided to our colleagues.  Accountability and mentorship can provide a steady compass to creating a meaningful future that helps prevent the drift leading to burnout. It’s a reminder that living intentionally isn’t reserved for moments of crisis or the end of a career; it’s a practice available right now, guided by the simple discipline of knowing where you want to go.
