Dr. Lisa Germain wears many hats. If you heard her on The Dental Slang Podcast before, then you’ll recognize her as an educator, podcaster, artist, author, and dentist. She has a New Orleans practice she’s owned for over three decades. She’s also faced many hardships and losses over the past few years that have changed how she approaches her life and business. As a dentist, Dr. Germain is one of the leading proponents of Botox for pain management. Using Botox for pain management is something within a dentist’s wheelhouse, but many of the first to recommend Botox were shunned for it. We discuss the initial pushback she received from other dentists and patients, how attitudes today are changing, and what this means for the future of dentistry. Dr. Germain works closely with patients who suffer from TMJ and has researched many different treatment methods for them. She is writing a new book with colleague and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Benji Dhillon to help other dentists better understand this treatment method, and she refers to book writing as a “labor of love.”  Writing, in particular, is a labor of love that has inspired a well of healing for Dr. Germain. After losing her husband to ALS and fighting her own battle with breast cancer, Dr. Germain wants to help others process grief and learn to reignite their passions and careers.  In This Episode You Will Learn  How Dr. Germain ended up writing about Santa Claus’ toothache 6:06 Why writing one book always leads to writing another 11:15 The kind of pushback Dr. Germain experienced when she first embraced Botox 21:10 How to learn from loss and share that story with others 31:12 The dental slang Dr. Germain uses in her office 40:49 How to find Dr. Germain’s books and publications 42:30   Some Questions We Ask  How is Dr. Germain’s career related to Finding Nemo? 1:05 What is Dr. Germain’s new book about? 13:39 What is the “turf war” happening between dentists and cosmetic surgeons? 18:08 How does Dr. Germain introduce her patients to Botox treatments? 25:11 How is the “writing bug” inspiring Dr. Germain to heal? 36:09 What does a “little bit of lagniappe” mean? 38:28  Resources  Visit our website: www.DentalSlang.com Connect with us on Facebook: Dental Slang Read Dr. Lisa Germain’s book:  Santa’s Christmas Eve Toothache Get in touch with Dr. Lisa Germain: www.LisaGermain.com

Reignite Your Passions with Dr. Lisa Germain

DC Dental Clinical Director Dr. Lisa Germain shares her passion for dental education and training on this episode of the Dental Slang podcast. She’s working to bridge the gap between endodontists and dental implants—which is no easy task. Dr. Germain has taken on this challenge in stride thanks to her unique perspective on what it means to be a better endodontist and a better dentist. To Dr. Germain, being a better dentist means giving patients complete dental care. Learning about implants is just one of the steps she’s taking to provide her patients with the best care possible. Part of her role at DC Dental is to help other dentists offer that level of care as well, and she’s doing that by leading the company’s educational webinar program. That’s right. DC Dental offers more than just dental supplies and tools. The webinar program arms dentists with the education they need to not only use these supplies and tools, but also to hone their dental skills—for free. In this episode, we tell you how you can take advantage of this continuing education opportunity so you can become a better dentist. Remember, no matter what your dental niche is, there are always opportunities for growth. Dr. Germain also shares why she became a dentist and what ultimately inspired her to start her own podcast, This Old Tooth. The work Dr. Germain does through her podcast—and the work she discusses with us on this episode—is meant to empower patients to seek proper dental care and education. Need a little inspiration right now? Then this podcast is for you. Tune in and be inspired. In This Episode You Will Learn  Why Dr. Germain pursued two different dental niches 3:20 The criteria a tooth must meet before Dr. Germain decides to extract 8:28 What the role of Clinical Director looks like at DC Dental 13:05 All about Dr. Germain's own podcast 16:20 Dr. Germain's favorite slang to use in the dental office 27:00  Some Questions We Discuss  How many endodontists are bridging the gap between endo and implants? 10:10 What slang does Dr. Germain use to describe her work? 12:21 What is Dr. Germain most proud of? 15:27 Do you have any strange dental questions for Dr. Germain? 24:18 How can you get in touch with Dr. Lisa? 29:13  Resources:  Visit our website: www.DentalSlang.com Connect with us on Facebook: Dental Slang Listen to Lisa’s podcast:  This Old Tooth Got a question for Dr. Lisa?
