22/01/2020 Duration: 26minIn this episode: Few relationships are more sacred, or more emotional, than the bond between dentist and patient. Like great love stories or great tragedies, like the most sweeping epics and the most moving dramas, all truly important dental stories have beginnings. This is that beginning. Now that I'm thinking about it, I suppose all stories have beginnings? Wait, is that true? What about the neverending story? The movie has a beginning, but I haven't read the book... More on that next week.
