  • 9. Women in Dentistry - Building Trust, One Canal at a Time – with Dr. Kreena Patel

    01:11:05||Season 1, Ep. 9
    In this special summer episode of the simplyendo Podcast, Dave Baker and Rob Masters sit down with the brilliant Dr. Kreena Patel, specialist endodontist, educator, and one of the most followed clinical voices in dentistry. Kreena opens up about her unlikely start (failing to impress her school careers advisor, then transforming into a relentless overachiever), the mentors who shaped her surgical hands and clinical instincts, and the daunting early days of building a referral practice while looking "too young" to be trusted with anyone's root canal. She gets refreshingly honest about the backlash she faced for posting her work on Instagram, why she now swears by single-visit endodontics, her switch to bioceramic sealers (and the risks nobody talks about), and the desert-island file she'd never give up. Along the way there are broken files, brutal radiographs, big laughs, and real talk about failure, confidence, and what it actually takes to become excellent at endo. Whether you're a student, a nervous associate, or a seasoned clinician, this episode is packed with hard-won wisdom and proof that even the best in the business once had doubts about it all.
