Smokey Mountain Sedations, with Dr. Adam Priestwood

Dr. Adam Priestwood is a pediatric dentist who practices in eastern Tennessee and treats a high-risk population. Dr. Priestwood comes on the podcast to talk about how he uses oral sedations to help manage shortages with his access to OR time. We talk about what the patient population is like in the Appalachia region of eastern Tennessee, oral conscious sedation strategies, Equia Forte for hypoplastic molars, when to graduated teenage medicaid patients, and personality styles of pediatric dentists. Dr. Priestwood is also a big deer and turkey hunter, so at the end we get a little off track talking about hunting. This was a great, very chill conversation for pediatric dentists in the eastern portion of the United States, or those that provide oral sedation.
