D2 Moony Madlol @moony.dentistry - Dose of Dental Podcast #165 x Dr. Gallagher's Podcast

Top 5 Topics:

- "Dental School Secrets They Don’t Teach You" – Behind-the-scenes truths about curriculum differences, hidden challenges, and what actually prepares you for the real world.

- "Should You Specialize? The Brutal Truth" – Honest pros and cons of becoming a dental specialist vs. general dentist, including career impact, income, and lifestyle.

- "From Zero to Ownership" – How new dentists can go from student life to running a successful practice, with autonomy, ethics, and patient care at the center.

- "The Power of Mentorship in Dentistry" – How mentorship can open doors, shape your career path, and help you avoid costly mistakes.

- "Navigating Externships Like a Pro" – Why the location, culture, and people matter just as much as the specialty you’re exploring.


Quotes & Wisdom:


"Dental school is a marathon, not a sprint—you don’t need to decide your specialty tomorrow, but you do need to keep taking steps toward clarity every day."


"Exposure early on shapes your path, but self-awareness keeps you on it."


"Grades, shadowing, research, and mentorship aren’t separate lanes—they’re overlapping paths toward becoming the dentist you want to be."


"Ownership isn’t about ego—it’s about having the autonomy to practice the way you believe is best for your patients."


"Every conversation with a mentor adds another piece to the puzzle of your career."


"A great dentist isn’t defined by their specialty, but by their commitment to patient care and lifelong learning."


"Networking isn’t just about opportunity—it’s about building a professional family who will support you when you need it most."


"Sometimes the decision you’re most nervous to make is the one that will define your entire career trajectory."


Questions:

(01:52) How long is your summer break and when do you start back up?

(04:54) By the end of first year, how much exposure do you really have to the specialties?

(06:20) By the end of the summer, you wanted to shadow other specialties—what happened?

(07:47) How did you decide with such confidence that OMFS was for you?

(10:49) Is the clinical experience in U.S. dental schools as early as Canadian students think?

(13:23) If you were to do an externship, how important is the location and program culture?

(14:56) With only ortho and maybe perio at your school, how do you get an idea of the other specialties?

(28:41) What’s your biggest reason for wanting ownership in dentistry?

(30:36) What concerns do you have about specializing versus general dentistry?

(37:08) If you could go back to being in my position, what would you do differently?

“What are the Classifications of Third Molars?”

Quick Review #279 - #dental #dentist #dentistry #dentalstudent #dentalschool #teeth #cavity #wisdomteeth #extraction #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon #implant #implants #dentalimplant #dentalimplants


  1. ​8.9.25


Third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, are frequently impacted and often require removal due to complications such as pericoronitis, infection, or difficulty in eruption.


Pell and Gregory Classification


The Pell and Gregory system is based on the spatial relationship of the third molar to the second molar and the mandible.


  1. ​Class I: The third molar is fully erupted into the oral cavity with enough space between the ramus and the second molar.


  1. ​Class II: The third molar is partially impacted, with the mesiodistal width of the tooth partially covered by the ramus.


  1. ​Class III: The third molar is fully impacted within the ramus of the mandible, with little to no space for eruption.


For the Position:


  • ​Position A: The third molar is at or above the level of the occlusal plane of the second molar.


  • ​Position B: The third molar is positioned between the occlusal plane and the cervical line.


  • ​Position C: The third molar is positioned below the cervical line, deeply embedded in bone.


Winter’s Classification


Winter’s Classification focuses on the angle of the third molar’s long axis in relation to the second molar.


  1. ​Vertical impaction: The long axis of the third molar is aligned with the second molar, making it relatively easier to remove (Winter’s Class I).


  1. ​Mesioangular impaction: The long axis of the third molar is tilted toward the second molar. It often requires more bone removal but is still relatively manageable (Winter’s Class II).


  1. ​Distoangular impaction: The third molar is angled away from the second molar. This is one of the most difficult types of impaction, as it often requires extensive bone removal and increases the risk of nerve injury (Winter’s Class III).


  1. ​Horizontal impaction: The third molar is fully impacted with its long axis perpendicular to the second molar. This is a particularly challenging case with extensive bone involvement and significant surgical difficulty (Winter’s Class IV).
