This isn’t your typical dental podcast.


Welcome to The Dark Side of Dentistry, where the gloves come off and the truth finally gets told. I’m The Drill Teller — a licensed dental professional and current industry insider — and I’m here to expose what corporate dentistry and DSOs don’t want you to know.


In this short preview episode, I’m laying out what this show is, who it’s for, and why it matters.


If you’ve ever felt uneasy after a routine cleaning turned into a $900 treatment plan…

If you’ve sat through a “training” that felt more like a sales bootcamp than patient care…

Or if you’ve worked inside a dental practice where the pressure to “produce” outweighs the ethics of real treatment…


You’re not imagining things. And you’re not alone.


I’ve spent the last 7+ years in this industry, with the wool pulled over my eyes. My wake-up call came during a corporate training session, when — as a role-play patient — I was diagnosed with stage 2 periodontal disease. That might sound like no big deal… until you realize I’m in the business, I take care of my teeth, and my own hygienist pulled me aside afterward and told me the truth: I was perfectly healthy. The diagnosis was a script. A setup. A game.


That was the moment I knew I couldn’t stay quiet anymore.


Every week, I’ll be breaking down the shady tactics, the billing scams, the fear-mongering, and the sales quotas that have quietly infected modern dentistry — and I’ll do it with full transparency, brutal honesty, and zero corporate spin.


You’ll hear real stories from patients, dental pros, and whistleblowers who are tired of the BS. You’ll learn how to protect yourself — or your license — from a system that’s more interested in production than prevention.


Because the industry won’t change until people start talking.


This is The Dark Side of Dentistry. And it’s time to listen.
