  • Oral Health Hacks: Veneers, Oil Pulling & Dental Myths
    2025/02/25
    With the rise of social media influencers and viral dental hacks, many people are misled about their oral health. From unlicensed veneer techs ruining smiles to conflicting information about brushing, flossing, and mouthwash routines, its hard to know what’s fact or fiction.This episode answers the most Googled and most TikTok-viral questions, including:Are porcelain veneers really worth the cost?Do I have to shave my teeth into little nubs for veneers?Can I get veneers if my teeth are already healthy?Does oil pulling actually work, or is it just another TikTok trend?What is the correct order: floss, mouthwash, or brushing first?How can you spot a fake dentist before it’s too late?6 Key Takeaways:1. Porcelain vs. Composite Veneers: Porcelain lasts 10-20 years, is stain-resistant, and provides a natural look, while composite lasts 2-3 years and stains easily. Porcelain is the better long-term investment.2. No-Drill Veneers Exist! If your teeth are well-aligned, you may qualify for no-prep veneers, which don’t require shaving down your teeth.3. Avoid Unlicensed “Veneer Techs”! Many fake dentists are performing illegal procedures, leading to infections, botched smiles, and permanent damage—always verify a dentist’s license before booking.4. Oil Pulling: Trend or Truth? Oil pulling with fractionated coconut oil (like Guru Nanda) can help with gum health and bacteria reduction, but it shouldn’t replace brushing and flossing.5. The Correct Oral Hygiene Routine: Floss first → Mouthwash → Brush (and don’t rinse immediately after brushing!)6. Healthy Gums = Pink Gums! If you see blood when you brush, it’s a sign of gingivitis or gum disease—time to improve your oral care routine or see a dentist.Notable Quotables“Veneers should enhance your smile, not make you look like you’re wearing a mouthguard. The goal is a natural, balanced smile that fits your face.” – Dr. Catrise Austin“If your dentist doesn’t have a verifiable license, run! Your smile is not something to gamble with.” – Dr. Catrise Austin“Floss first, then rinse, then brush—this order gets the most bacteria out and keeps your teeth cleaner for longer.” – Dr. Catrise Austin“If you see pink in the sink, it means your gums need help. Bleeding gums aren’t normal—either floss more, brush better, or see a dentist!” – Dr. Catrise AustinEpisode Segments:[00:00] Welcome & Introduction – Live from Podfest 2025 in Orlando![01:26] The Veneer Debate: Porcelain vs. Composite – What’s best for you?[04:10] Do You Really Have to Shave Your Teeth for Veneers? – The truth about no-prep options.[11:12] Fake Dentists & Social Media Scams – How to protect yourself from botched work.[13:20] The Right Way to Brush, Floss & Use Mouthwash – Are you doing it wrong?[16:36] Does Oil Pulling Work? – The benefits of natural dentistry.[21:00] Ask Dr. Austin Live! – Audience questions answered.

  • Dental Care Crisis in the USA and Free Solutions: How Dr. Joshua Golden and RAM Are Transforming Dental Care Access
    2025/02/20
    Why Dental Care Access Is a Crisis in AmericaAccess to affordable dental care is a growing challenge in the United States. Millions of Americans struggle with untreated cavities and other oral health issues due to high costs or lack of insurance. According to the CDC, 1 in 4 adults have untreated cavities, and 74 million Americans lack dental insurance. This crisis disproportionately impacts underserved communities, where oral health disparities are often tied to socioeconomic and racial inequities.This episode of Let’s Talk Smiles sheds light on the real-life implications of these disparities and highlights solutions that are making a difference.Dr. Joshua Golden’s Journey into DentistryDr. Joshua Golden, a Miami native, shared his inspiring journey into dentistry. Growing up in Liberty City, Florida, Dr. Golden didn’t have access to mentors or resources to guide him into the field. A summer program at Columbia University and mentorship from Dr. Dennis Mishrew changed his life, leading him to pursue dentistry instead of medicine.“I didn’t see anyone who looked like me in dentistry,” Dr. Golden explained. This lack of representation fueled his passion to create The Golden Foundation, which supports Black and Brown students aspiring to enter the dental profession.The Role of RAM in Bridging the Healthcare GapDr. Golden’s work with Remote Area Medical Volunteer Corps (RAM) is an example of how healthcare providers can make a tangible difference. RAM organizes mobile clinics to bring free dental, vision, and medical care to underserved areas.The upcoming Miami Gardens RAM event on April 26-27, 2025, will offer critical dental services, including cleanings, extractions, and fillings, to patients on a first-come, first-served basis.“Programs like RAM are essential because they help people who would otherwise fall through the cracks,” Dr. Golden said.Watch this video on youtube: https://youtu.be/oD22v65DM4cKey Takeaways:Dr. Golden's journey into dentistry was influenced by a mentor who recognized his potential.The Golden Foundation aims to support black and brown students pursuing dental careers.Access to affordable dental care is a significant issue in underserved communities.Community outreach and volunteer work are essential for improving dental care access.Building relationships with patients is crucial for successful dental practice.Social media can be a powerful tool for finding dental resources and programs.Dental schools often provide affordable care through student clinics.Mentorship and guidance are vital for aspiring dentists.The mouth-body connection is important for overall health.Finding balance in life is essential for long-term success in dentistry.

  • How to Get Whiter Teeth Fast: Best Whitening Methods for Stains & Yellow Teeth
    2025/02/11
    How to Get Whiter Teeth Fast: The Truth About Teeth Whitening & The Best SolutionsLet’s Talk Smiles Podcast with Dr. Catrise Austin 🚨 Frustrated with yellow teeth that won’t go away?🚨 Wasting money on whitening products that don’t work?🚨 Wondering if professional whitening is really worth it? If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone! Many people feel stuck with stubborn stains and dull teeth despite brushing daily and trying countless whitening products. But the truth is, not all whitening methods work—and some can even do more harm than good if used incorrectly. In this episode of Let’s Talk Smiles, Dr. Catrise Austin, Celebrity Dentist to the Stars, is breaking down everything you need to know about professional teeth whitening, the real causes of yellowing, and how to get a bright, confident smile that lasts!🎙️ Show Notes & Key Takeaways💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ Why brushing alone won’t remove deep stains✅ The truth about store-bought vs. professional whitening✅ How hydrogen peroxide works to lift stains safely✅ Does whitening damage enamel? Myth busted!✅ How to whiten teeth without sensitivity✅ Best ways to maintain your white smile long-term 💎 A brighter smile isn’t just cosmetic—it’s a confidence booster, a career enhancer, and a game-changer for your personal life!🦷 The Most Common Teeth Whitening Struggles (And How to Fix Them!) 1. “I brush my teeth every day—why are they still yellow?”• The Reality: Brushing only removes surface stains, but discoloration often comes from deep inside the tooth due to aging, diet, or lifestyle habits.• The Fix: Professional whitening treatments use high-strength hydrogen peroxide to penetrate deep into enamel and remove stains from within. 2. “I’ve tried whitening strips, toothpaste, and LED kits—nothing works!”• The Reality: Most over-the-counter whitening products contain low levels of hydrogen peroxide (3%-10%), which can’t reach deep-set stains.• The Fix: Professional treatments use 16%-25% hydrogen peroxide, delivering faster, more dramatic results in one session. 3. “I’m worried whitening will damage my enamel!”• The Reality: Whitening does NOT strip enamel—it oxidizes stains trapped inside the tooth without causing harm.• The Fix: Choose dentist-approved whitening and avoid DIY methods like baking soda or charcoal, which can erode enamel over time. 4. “My teeth are super sensitive—will whitening make it worse?”• The Reality: Sensitivity happens when peroxide temporarily exposes nerve endings inside your teeth.• The Fix: Brush with a desensitizing toothpaste (like Sensodyne) for 2 weeks before whitening and choose a sensitivity-friendly whitening gel. 5. “How long does whitening last? Do I need touch-ups?”• The Reality: Whitening results vary based on your diet and oral care routine. Most people need a touch-up every 6 months to 2 years.• The Fix: Limit staining foods, brush with whitening toothpaste, and use touch-up whitening products as needed.📊 Why This Matters: The Science & Stats Behind Teeth Whitening 💡 Did you know that a white smile can actually change your life?Studies show that having whiter teeth can:✔ Make you 58% more likely to be hired in a job interview (Procter & Gamble Study)✔ Increase salary offers by 53%✔ Boost your dating prospects by 54%✔ Make you appear more attractive to 96% of people surveyed A bright smile isn’t just about looks—it’s about confidence, success, and making powerful first impressions!📢 8 Quotable Moments from This Episode 1️⃣ “Stop wasting money on whitening products that don’t work—there’s a reason professional treatments get better results!”2️⃣ “Whitening does NOT damage enamel! It simply lifts stains using safe, dentist-approved chemistry.”3️⃣ “Brushing alone won’t get rid of deep stains—you need something stronger!”4️⃣ “The secret to a whiter smile isn’t just whitening—it’s also knowing how to maintain your results!”5️⃣ “Sensitivity is temporary, and with the right tricks, you can whiten comfortably!”6️⃣ “Coffee, tea, red wine—they all stain! But you don’t have to quit them completely to keep your teeth white.”7️⃣ “Cheap isn’t always good when it comes to whitening—always ask about training and experience!”8️⃣ “Your smile is your first impression—make sure it’s the best version of YOU!”📋 Action Steps: What You Can Do Today to Get Whiter Teeth ☑ Track how often you consume stain-causing drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, soda).☑ Rinse your mouth with water after drinking anything that could stain your teeth.☑ Brush twice daily with a fluoride-based whitening toothpaste and floss daily.☑ Schedule a professional cleaning every six months to remove surface stains.☑ Stop using low-strength whitening products and invest in a treatment that actually works....
