Did I just mention Orthodontic course ? Wait what is that?
There are tons of courses out there for endodontics, full mouth rehabilitation, aesthetic dentistry & even implant dentistry or facial aesthetics (something that is rarely taught at the graduation level). Still many dentists with a graduate degree pursue short courses & fulfill their dream of practicing these branches. However have you ever given it a thought, as to why are there are only handful courses of orthodontics?
In this episode I speak to Dr. Kaushal Kishore, a super energetic dentist from Chennai who not only pursued his dream of treating orthodontic cases but also became an international speaker for the POS training program. He has conducted orthodontic courses not only on India but also Singapore, Australia and through Europe.
Hope this episode will inspire a few dentists ! 🙂
Yes we have a great Orthodontic course for general dentists too !

We have so many implant options in dentistry today. Conventional Zygomatic Pterygoid Basal…
To make it more complicates we have types in conventional like Active Passive…
And as if that was not enough we have different surface treatments !
In this episode I try to understand which is the best implant for use especially cause the cost of each is so different too !!
So I spoke to the man who has an experience of over 12,000 implant placements about which implant does he prefer and how a beginner like me can choose the right implant!
I’ve always wanted to connect with a dentist having a parallel passion. So I set out on a journey to search for dentists interested in travel, music, health, fitness, arts, culture, motivation, social welfare, dance, music, photography, videography, Bollywood, Hollywood etc. Basically I am still on a quest to connect with as many dentists I can who follow a passion other that dentistry too.
One such dentist & my dear friend is Dr. Poonam Punjabi. I dont want to sound like I’m bragging but trust me I’ve been trying to reduce my weight since 3 tears now and not once did my weight reduce by more than 2 Kgs. I tried everything under the sun including diets, gymming, walking, running, swimming and even badminton. All I got was 1- 2 Kg loss and a calf muscle tear.
Once while returning home I met my friend Dr. Dheeraj punjabi outside the badminton court. I was shocked to see him. He was slim and fit which was totally not like how I had seen him the last time just 6-7 months back. I asked him if he joined a gym etc? He said he does try to be active but the main reason behind his weight loss was his wife, Dr. Poonam. I know both Poonam and Dheeraj because they are actually my course participants in dental photography.
So I had to meet poonam immediately and she suggested me a few routine tests after which I was on her diet plan. Trust me things started working out after that. Initially it was a bit tough, later looking at the results I felt more motivated to follow her religiously. In just 3 months I had lost 12 Kgs. It was nothing short of a miracle for me. Besides the best part was I got to eat more frequently ! Yes you heard it right. I was probably eating more frequently that I routinely did.
Sounds interesting right?
Lets try and find out more as I interview Dr. Poonam Punjabi dentist having a parallel passion in health, fitness and nutrition LIVE on YouTube. Do keep your diet, health and fitness related questions handy !!
