Welcome to the first episode of Ask the Dentist, hosted by Dr. Mark Burhenne. The premise of this show is the same as that of askthedentist.com: to help patients inform themselves so that they can play an active role in the maintenance of their oral health. This podcast will also introduce you to the concept of functional dentistry, which is a root cause and integrative approach to treating dental symptoms and aims to bridge the gap between physicians and dentists. Our host will use each episode to dive deep into a listener question with a well-rounded and actionable discussion. For today’s show, Dr. B talks about tooth fractures, the different types of tooth fractures, and what to do about them. So tune in today and be sure to listen in on future episodes so that you can continue to empower yourself and know what to ask as well as what to expect the next time you find yourself in the chair! Dr. B of course can’t give medical or dental advice on this show, but he can share pointers on how to interact with your own dentist.
