Dr. Sam Cress  sold his general dentistry practice and began the process of opening a new sleep and TMD practice dedicated to providing his guests with desirable experiences from he and his co-therapists. Wait, what about patients, appointments, and hygienists?

Then COVID-19 struck. What’s a dentist to do? Tuck your tail and run for safety? OR BLAZE FORWARD? Dr. Cress is crazy smart and did the latter. Then the wackiest thing happened on opening day. Listen to find out about this test in resilience.  You’ll get a tutorial on positive mental attitude, grit, and optimal time management.

Speaking of sleep and TMD - Dr. Cress tells us about the genesis of the Meridian PM, his patented, FDA-cleared orthotic for the treatment of the aforementioned maladies. Incorporating myofunctional therapy tenets, emphasis on the TMJ, and minimizing VDO with casted laser welded accuracy, SC makes a startling claim about the device’s efficacy. You’ve 110% gotta hear this.

Oh, but, wait...it doesn’t stop there. Hear how Dr. Cress has leveraged the wisdom of his mentors to build value for his guests so they’re willing to hang sheetrock to get into the office sooner, how he’s been able to avoid the medical insurance maze while getting almost everyone into the treatment they deserve, and the #1 issue dentists struggle with at his lectures.

Dr. Cress makes yet another astounding claim when he says that EVERY dentist has what they need to successfully treat TMD patients. What is it? In an episode full of quotables, you’ll just have to shut up and listen…and no beans and weenies for you...
