Meet Rohan.

Rohan graduated in 2013 but has since dropped his drill and hung up his loupes to pursue a different path, becoming a full-time fitness coach. Through RV fitness, he now primarily works with dentists, helping them achieve the best physical and mental health of their lives.

In this episode we talk about the connection between mind, body and soul, the hidden benefits of being physically fit and healthy, and how looking after yourself can actually make you a better dentist. We also discuss burnout, the key exercises every dentist should be prioritising, and why physical and mental wellbeing deserve a much bigger place in our profession.

We chat about accountability and recognising when it’s time to put your own health first.

Meet Ahmed.

Ahmed is a London-based orthodontist who’s rethinking what his working life looks like, from reducing his clinical days and the number of practices he works at, to exploring AI and health tech. Alongside his wife, a GP with a shared interest in health tech and systems, he recently launched Conversico, a UK-based startup developing conversational AI and communication tools for dental and medical practices.

In this episode we talk about the pros and cons of orthodontics, how the speciality has evolved, and some of the nuances of the job you might not have considered. We also discuss the role AI could play in dentistry, and whether it will help or hinder the delivery of the best possible patient care.

We also talk about making dentistry work for you, tailoring your clinical week, reflecting on what really matters, and the legacy you want to leave behind.

Meet Zeeshan.

Zeeshan studied restorative dentistry at the Eastman Dental Institute before developing a career focused on complex restorative and referral work, alongside a passion for teaching, learning and staying active outside of dentistry.

In this episode we talk about finding your direction in dentistry, learning from failure, the importance of experience and mentorship, and why quietly letting your work speak for itself can be a real flex.

We also talk about starting a community run club, recovering from injury, balancing family life with dentistry, switching off after demanding days, and learning not to take every setback so seriously.
