About the Show

I have practiced dentistry full-time for over 30 years, and for the last 23 years (and counting), working in a scratch-start practice with my wife. We graduated together from SUNY at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. In addition to my full-time practice, I had the privilege to serve as the first and only wet-gloved dentist Editorial Director for Dentaltown. During the 22 years I was in that role, I had access to the companies that provide the products and services that power our profession. I have conducted interviews, moderated podcasts, written countless polls, published a monthly column, served as a key opinion leader, participated in focus groups, traveled the world and attended more major dental trade shows than I can remember. I have produced numerous video projects where I interviewed guests, shared the latest dental news and provided a ‘man on the street’ perspective at some of the major dental meetings.

I started the Dr. Tom Show to share my experiences, insights and creativity in a new format. Podcasts are already ubiquitous and they are the perfect vehicle for this next phase in my career. I look forward to presenting engaging conversations with leaders in our profession, sharing my perspective on hot topics and creating episodes where I can bring experts together with dental professionals in need of great advice. As a practicing dentist and lifelong question-asker, I’m curious about how people think, what they believe, and how they navigate complex topics.
