Administering anesthesia prior to a dental procedure is bound to cause patients some pain and anxiety.
But does the delivery system make a difference?
Do patients experience more or less discomfort when the practitioner uses a computer-assisted device as opposed to traditional anesthesia?
On this episode of Dentist Brian Candy, I walk you through a recent study published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery comparing computerized delivery systems with conventional local anesthesia.
I share the study’s findings that less pain and anxiety is associated with computerized techniques but raise questions about the statistical significance of pain score differences between the two methods.
Listen in to understand how the location and speed of injection impact pain scores and find out why I’m not investing in a computer-assisted anesthetic delivery system anytime soon.

‘There is no such thing as a good memory or a bad memory.
There's only a trained memory and an untrained memory.’
—Jim Kwik
The brain acts like a muscle: If you don’t use it, you lose it. But the rote memorization most of us were taught is not the best way to learn and remember information for the long term.
So, what can we do to unlimit our memories? And how does having a trained memory serve us as dental professionals?
On this episode of Dentist Brian Candy, I discuss chapter 13 of Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster and Unlock Your Exceptional Life, sharing Jim Kwik’s strategies for making presentations without notes and remembering names.
I also cover an article from the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery around online reviews, exploring why Yelp and Healthgrades ratings don’t necessarily correlate with clinical quality and what you can do to earn high online ratings and positive reviews.

Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster and Unlock Your Exceptional Life by Jim Kwik
On this episode of Dentist Brain Candy, we continue our discussion of the book, Limitless by Jim Kwik. Today I'm discussing Part IV: Limitless Methods. Chapter 11 of the book is devoted to the discussion of focus. We all have so many things competing for our attention; it can cause anxiety and, worse yet, loss of focus, leaving us scattered and in a place where we accomplish less.
I walk you through Dr. Andrew Weil's method for breathing to recenter yourself. Then we'll look at your to-do list, and how you might use some anti-procrastination tools to complete a task you’ve been putting off so you can move into a more productive flow.
We'll also talk about Chapter 12, which is about studying. Jim Kwik teaches that the most successful people are lifelong learners. Listen in as I walk you through seven of Jim's simple habits to unlimit your studies, including how you can use Baroque music for better concentration when memorizing facts or for reading retention.
I also cover two thought-provoking articles from the October 2021 Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The first one, by Roberto Pippi, MD, DDS, is about Tooth and root extractions as trigger factors for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).
The second article looks at changes in the emergency patient volume and reasons for presentation during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve seen society adapt to virtual settings for nearly everything.
Of course, there will always be a debate on if virtual environments are better or worse for working, socializing, or even grocery shopping, but how does a virtual society interview medical students? Better yet, how can medical students truly vet the programs they’re applying for without seeing them in person?
On this episode of Dentist Brain Candy, I discuss a few more interesting studies from the February 2022 edition of the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. First, a study written by Kai Codner explores the way that Covid-19 has introduced virtual interviews for new surgical residents and the pros and cons of both virtual and in-person interview programs.
The second article, written by Catherine Haviland, expands on this same topic and finds that virtual externship programs may have more benefits than an in-person internship program.
Listen in as I continue sharing a few chapters of the book Limitless by Jim Kwik. In these chapters, we uncover helpful tips for goal setting and a list of the ten best foods for your brain.

Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life by Jim Quick
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.

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.
