Nudes, moods, and bad attitudes: First do no harm

Do you remember that little piece of paper called the Hippocratic oath? We all signed it. Is it important to you? Do you think it matters to our profession? Does anything matter in the court of public opinion today?

Friends, Dentistry Unmasked was born to share the truth. The good, the bad—and some days, the ugly. We're not going to sugarcoat it: this is a must tune-in episode with Dr. Alan Mead of The Very Dental Podcast. We're talking about ugly truths we really hope you care about. So grab your headphones and grab a seat—you're going to need it!
