🎙️ Welcome to Real Talk: Beyond the Dental Chair — the podcast where dentistry meets real life. If you’ve ever wondered what dental professionals are really like when we’re not in scrubs, treating teeth, or giving oral hygiene instructions for the hundredth time… you’re in the right place.

Hosted by Inma Steffe,— a registered dental hygienist and entrepreneur who’ve spent years chairside — this show pulls back the curtain on the dental world and explores everything that happens outside the operatory. Because let’s be honest: there’s a lot more to us than fluoride and floss.

We’re here to show you the human side of dental professionals — the passions we pursue, the struggles we face, the funny sh*t that happens behind the scenes, and the way our careers shape how we see the world (and ourselves). From real patient stories to career curveballs, personal growth, burnout, self-doubt, business wins, awkward moments, and the “WTF just happened?” tales that only dental teams can understand — nothing is off limits.

💬 What to expect each week:
	•	🔊 Candid conversations about life in and out of the dental office
	•	🤯 Stories you won’t believe (but they’re 100% true)
	•	🛠️ Tips for navigating dental burnout, career changes, or owning your voice in a high-pressure industry
	•	💡 Inspiring insights from professionals who’ve reinvented themselves, left clinical, started businesses, or blended dentistry with their personal passions
	•	🎭 The comedy and chaos of patient interactions (you know the ones…)
	•	📣 Audience Q&As, where we answer your questions — clinical, personal, or just plain weird
	•	🧠 Real talk on mental health, boundaries, and what “success” actually looks like in dentistry today

Whether you’re a dental student wondering what life will really be like, a seasoned hygienist who’s seen it all, a dentist craving connection, or someone who just loves behind-the-scenes stories from fascinating people — this podcast is for you.

You don’t need to know the difference between plaque and calculus to enjoy it. You just need to be curious about the people behind the masks and the stories no one tells at conferences.

This isn’t CE. This is real life.
And while we love our profession, we’re not here to sugarcoat it. We’re here to create a space where honesty, humor, and humanity come first — where we can laugh, vent, learn, and celebrate the messy, beautiful experience of being dental professionals and whole humans.

👥 Hosted by:
A  dental hygienist who’ve lived it, questioned it, and is ready to talk about it — with zero filter, all heart, and a few F-bombs.

🎧 New episodes drop weekly.
Come for the dental stories. Stay for the human ones.
Because life happens beyond the dental chair.
