About this listen

In this week’s episode, Dr. Jesse speaks with Dr. Andrew Heredia - Current ADAVB President, practice co-owner, university educator and parent.

They go into...

  • Balancing multiple roles: How Andrew manages leadership, clinical work, teaching and family responsibilities, and the routines he relies on to maintain focus.
  • Defining success in dentistry: Why building rapport, clear communication and patient-centred care are central to a satisfying day in practice.
  • Current challenges for the profession: A thoughtful discussion on rural dental access, proposals for more comprehensive public care, the mental-health pressures facing clinicians, and a cautious look at AI’s potential in everyday workflows.

They also cover Andrew’s path into ADAVB volunteering, the skills most needed on its committees, and how practice ownership has influenced his approach to patient treatment. For anyone feeling stuck, he suggests stepping beyond familiar routines and exploring new interests as a way to renew engagement with the profession.

Thank you Andrew for joining us on the show!
