Are you struggling with news overload
Information about topics like COVID, politics, and war flood our feeds and inboxes, but not everything that is being communicated to us is the truth. That is why being able to think for ourselves is such a critical skill.
So, how can we get better at detecting “BS”?
On this episode of Dentist Brain Candy, I cover two thought-provoking articles from the February 2022 edition of the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The first one by Jeffrey C. Posnick, DMD, MD looks at what is needed to separate fact from fiction in this age of information overload. I think you will find this article both timely and helpful.
I also discuss an article by Cameron Lee et al. that shares the findings from a study on the relationship between serum albumin and adverse outcomes in patients undergoing operative repair of maxillofacial fractures.
I also continue our discussion of the book, Limitless by Jim Kwik. Today I’m discussing Chapter 6: “The 7 Lies of Learning.” In this chapter, Kwik talks about what makes up intelligence and how the idea of fixed intelligence is a lie. Listen for more.

Is Your “BS” Detector Getting Rusty
Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life by Jim Quick
It’s been proven that both positive and negative thinking have effects on our mental, emotional, and physical health.
It can be hard to be the cheerleaders in our own lives, but it’s true that positive emotions broaden our attention and thinking, seed human flourishing, and trigger upward spirals towards greater well-being.
The book Limitless by Jim Kwik is all about “limiting beliefs” and how they might be holding us back from achieving our biggest dreams.
On this episode of Dentist Brain Candy, I dive into the Limitless book and discuss the article Robotic Assisted Drilling Systems and Prosthetically-Driven Implant Rehabilitation: The Present and Future? Robotic assisted drilling systems (RADS) are cutting-edge and very interesting. I share my thoughts on how they could create breakthroughs in dental surgery and also cause potential complications.
I also cover a 2021 study on if platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) prevents hemorrhagic complications after dental extractions on anticoagulated patients.
Listen in to learn more on how PRF and RADS are being studied, as well as why it is so important to minimize our “limiting beliefs” and prioritize positive self-talk.
The details of a study on PRF preventing hemorrhagic complications, as the number of dental extractions and minor surgical procedures has increased significantly in anticoagulated patients.
Why I use extractions and local measure for anticoagulated patients, rather than PRF or Thrombin Topical
How robotic assisted drilling systems (RADS) work and how they may shift oral maxillofacial surgeries in the near future
The background of Jim Kwik’s book, Limitless, and the key to unlearning limiting beliefs and false assumptions
Why negative self-talk is harmful and how both positive and negative thinking have been proven to impact health
Jim Kwik’s four different types of genius and how they show up in our lives

Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life by Jim Quick
On this episode of Dentist Brain Candy, I cover two articles from the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery on the treatment of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). The first one delves into a new treatment option for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw while the second one explores the risk factors involved in recurrence and treatment outcomes. Plus, I also share what I’ve found to be helpful for patients who present with dizziness when taking Pentoxifylline.
I also share a useful article from the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery about inflammatory complications from the management of mandible fractures and if there is a difference in occurrence based on whether the procedure was performed in an outpatient vs. inpatient setting.
And finally, the last article I discuss delves into the outcome of weekend vs. weekday treatment in odontogenic infection severity.
Listen, as I also continue our discussion of the book, Limitless by Jim Kwik and a closer look at how multitasking stunts growth.
