Headline Quote:
1:00:25 – 1:01:16
Jessica: We have this beginner’s luck in the beginning, where things come easy. We’re super excited for it, so it’s a little bit natural, we’re willing to put on the effort and then all of sudden, you’re in the trenches and it’s not going as planned and you are like “Okey, do I really want to do this?” and it is like “Yeah!”
Omid: This is great
Jessica: That’s when you need to put in that much more and push through because, you’re going to end up on the other side and you’re going to be happy that you did it because the self though and the self-critical thinking that you have, either initially or partway through the process, or even at the end, you’re never going essentially give up on yourself. You’re never going to regret putting the effort and commitment in investing in yourself at the end of the day.

In this week’s episode I sat down with Dr. Ricky Hamami and Dr. Zeyad Hammad. I met these guys when they were first year dental students at Melbourne Dental school and it has been awesome now see them as fresh grads and noobie dentists. Ricky and Zeyad are from Canada and after completing their studies in Melbourne, have moved back to Toronto where they are both practicing in private practice. I connected with these guys due to our shared passion for entrepreneurship and these guys have taken things to another level. During dental school they launched Dentist2b, an online platform designed to helped dental students study for and crush the Canadian Board Exams.
In this interview we talk about their journey into and through dental school, their plans with Dentist2b as well as how their first year of practice is going.
Ricky, Zeyad and I have been talking and I am beyond thrilled to have them collaborating with me and the Noobie Dentist Podcast. Ricky and Zeyad will be launching their own podcast series called Mastering Dentistry Series. This podcast series will be running in the same thread as the Noobie Dentist Podcast so you can access the episodes everywhere you currently access the Noobie Dentist Podcast. The Mastering Dentistry Series will offer a fresh perspective from to young and ambitious new grads and I am super excited to hear these episodes. So keep an eye and ear out for the Mastering Dentistry podcast series coming out in the next few weeks. This collaboration is hopefully the start of much bigger projects to come in Canada and as always our main collective goal is to contribute to the dental community.

Today’s Interview is with Dr. Jihyon Kim @DiscingQueen on Instagram based in Seattle Washington. This interview was recorded a few months ago prior to me heading over to Seattle to attend Kois and I had the awesome pleasure of meeting up with both Dr. kim and Brandon walker (@prosthabilities) for brunch while I was there. We ran into each other again at DIA a few days later where Dr. Kim taught a great session in injection over molding.
As promised I am trying to get back to a more regular schedule with posting up interviews and am working on redesigning the website and logo to freshen things up. The podcast has been a big part of my dental career so far and it has allowed me to form so many close friendships and find so many mentors who have helped me along the way. Dr. Kim is no exception, in this interview we talk about several topics including injection over molding restorative technique, how to stay hungry and continue to grow as your progress in your dental career and much more.
Dr. Kim has up to so much since we last spoke for this interview. She has launched her own podcast along with Brandon Walker called Dental Disruptors, she has also launched the discing queen academy and institute of IO. I will have a link for all of the above in the show notes.

Hello and welcome back for another episode of the Noobie Dentist Podcast.
This interview is very important for me, it is with someone who I have admired and looked up to for years and having the opportunity to sit down and have a conversation with them for this interview was tremendously exciting and a highlight of my podcasting career so far.
Today’s guest is The Bloody Tooth Guy. Many will know of him as one of Instagram OG members and many us have benefited from his outstanding content, education and entertainment around Oral and Maxillofacial surgery. In this interview we talk about his journey into dentistry and OMFS, when and why he started the Bloody Tooth Guy and why he decided to stay anonymous for so long. We also went off track a bit and had a good chat about topics we’re both passionate about, watches and sports.
This interview was recorded in February before this Covid pandemic changed everything and that is why it is not discussed during this interview.
I hope you enjoy this episode half as much as I did recording it, without further delay, enjoy this interview with the man himself, the bloody tooth guy
