Pursuit of the Pearly Whites

<p>On this episode of the <em>Mouth Mechanics </em>podcast, Tanzania Davis welcomes Michelle Brown and D’Nita Price to the podcast to talk about teeth whitening - when it works, when it doesn’t - and the personal side of the dental industry.&nbsp; The women open up the conversation with an illuminating quote and inspiring scripture verse before moving on to discuss their varied starts in the industry.&nbsp; As each one of them has overcome their own hurdles, the trio all believe strongly in the importance of dental care as it relates to self esteem and worth.&nbsp; The women have found numerous times sitting in the chair with a gaping mouth in front of them that patients share rather personal stories of trauma, lives in prison, abuse, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Afterall, that’s why Brown opened up her teeth whitening practice in Maryland: to change the way people see and take care of themselves.&nbsp; She dives into what a smile consultation of hers looks like and why dental health is of the utmost importance.&nbsp; She talks about why teeth whitening isn’t always the right treatment for people, especially if they have lingering dental issues that they need to resolve first.&nbsp; It all comes down to motivating patients to make changes in their daily dental routine: a challenge all three dental experts are familiar with.&nbsp; The conversation culminates in what the whitening process actually looks like and the science behind sensitivity.&nbsp; Drawing the episode to a close, the women talk a bit more generally about staying true to you, whether that comes in the form of oral care, or in the case of these dental trailblazers, ignoring the fears of others when it comes to their career paths.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>The Finer Details of This Episode:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li>From dentistry to teeth whitening</li><li>The importance of CPR training</li><li>The personal side of dentistry</li><li>The ins and outs of Michelle’s smile consultations</li><li>The challenges in motivati
