Welcome to DM A dentist, your friendly neighborhood podcast where Dr. Rusty and Dr. Mike are here to make dental care approachable for everyone because everyone deserves a healthy smile without the fear. Well, well, welcome back everybody to another episode of DM A dentist. It feels really good to be back in the podcast studio. We took a little two-week hiatus for, you know, Fourth of July, been doing some camping and stuff, so it feels good to be back. It’s been good. It’s also been pretty hot, so we took a little bit of break. True. But this week had some big news. It did. It did. You know, officially, I think we can call it Mike, but politicians are officially more hated than Dentists. Jesus. It’s like, it’s insane that we had an assassination attempt. Yeah. I mean, it definitely is wild. I can’t believe it happened, honestly, you know, at least, I guess the Secret Service had a quick escape route, so, you know, Trump was able to just get in the van and go’ed. Right? Right? You get it? No! Sorry, sorry, y’all. What an eerie feeling. But anyway, I mean, in all seriousness, that’s terrifying that that’s happening. I mean, we should not live in a nation that we have to deal with this, regardless of the party you’re involved in, right? Like, insane. Well, I’m living a country that we are even making light of it. Of course, it’s a very serious thing, and we’re not taking it lightly. Regardless of what side of the street you live on, you know, violence is never the answer, and doing something like this isn’t going to help our situation as a country at all. Yeah. It’s completely unacceptable, which we all know that, and honestly, our thoughts in Paris, well, to everyone involved, because it’s terrifying and scary. Even if you’re the president, it’s scary to deal with that, so. Right, so. We definitely need to come together as a country so this stops happening. And, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, let’s, I know that’s a tough subject, but let’s dive in today’s episode in. I hope you’re all ears for this one. Oh, all ears, all ears. Today’s episode is DM deBrief number one. So, debrief, debrief, debrief. So our goal with the podcast, again, you may have heard this if you’ve listened or tuned in before, but our goal with the podcast is to be too done as here answering your questions. And the best way that you can do that is to ask us questions. I mean, that’s the only way we’re going to be able to help you is if you let us know what kind of content you want to see from us, send it our way, send us questions, send us videos, you

Root canals are often associated with pain. And…we get it…15 years ago, dentistry was still thought of as a painful experience. Many of you may still view a trip to the dentist as a painful experience…But, Dr. Mike and Dr. Rusty are here to tell you root canals have come a long way.

So for this episode, we wanted to talk about root canals: what they are and why we do them. Dr. Mike and Dr. Rusty breakdown the symptoms that my lead you to think you need a root canal, what to expect during the procedure, and even address some of the misinformation out there about root canals. So tune in, you don’t want to miss this one!

By now, we have all seen the “Hawk Tuah” girl. So why don’t we talk about saliva and what it does for you? Just so we’re all on the same page: saliva does a lot more than you think. In this episode, Dr. Mike and Dr. Rusty talk about all things saliva: the good, the bad, and the ugly. They finally answer the question that’s on everyone’s mind (apparently, because we’ve received SO many messages in our inbox about this): “Can my dentist tell when I’ve performed oral sex?”. Okay, maybe the questions are worded differently than that, but you get my point. Tune in to today’s episode to figure out if we can tell.

Welcome to DM Adentist, your friendly neighborhood podcast where Dr. Rusty and Dr. Mike are here to make dental care approachable for everyone because everyone deserves a healthy smile without the fear. Welcome back to another episode of DM Adentist, I’m Dr. Mike and I’m Dr. Rusty. Today’s episode is going to get into a little bit of a spicy topic if you couldn’t tell from the title of our episode. Our topic today will be for a bit of an older audience so make sure the little ones ears are closed. It’s not per se inappropriate but you know 18 and up would be great. Yeah, we’ll be talking about a few different topics, some things ranging from saliva and then we’ll get into things like swap and spit and even oral sex at the end so be sure to stick around for the big finish. We wanted to break down a couple basics of what saliva is made up and then follow that up with the question we get pretty frequently which is can my dentist tell that I’ve given oral sex? If you guys ask me that one more time, I swear. We definitely got that question a lot, I know there’s been some videos that have gone around tick-tock and Instagram and stuff that say your dentist can or cannot so we’ll definitely dive into that but we don’t want to be too premature here so let’s start from the beginning, Mike. Yeah and it’s important to start from the beginning so like in Genesis 1-1 in the beginning God created the heavens in the earth. Okay, okay. The very first sin was a woman who ate. Oh my god, come on back to the podcast please. Okay, so let’s start with the basics, right? We know everyone has saliva, right? And it’s so it must be important because evolutionarily we’ve not gotten rid of it. So what makes up saliva? Well evolutionarily or when you’re just talking about Genesis in the beginning so. Do not catch me in a lie. Either way, saliva has stuck around and it’s very important. What do you think makes it so important, Mike? It has a couple of key ingredients, Rusty and I think those key ingredients are what makes it important. So let’s talk about what makes up saliva. So saliva is made up of mostly water and proteins and salt and electrolytes. Look at you guys. That’s probably the most of of what it’s made up of. So I would say it’s how much of how much of that do I make per day? You make anywhere between a half a liter to one and a half liter per day on average for most people, that’s the amount of sa
