In this episode, Dr. Eric Block talks with Dr. Scott Drucker—a periodontist, entrepreneur, and co-host of The Open Wide Podcast. Scott shares his unique journey from dental school to launching Supply Clinic, an online marketplace for dental supplies, all while still in residency.

Scott opens up about the challenges of building a business during such a demanding time, working long nights after full days of surgery and classes. But his drive to solve problems in the dental world pushed him forward, leading to a company that now helps practices save time and money.

Now, Scott is working on something even bigger: a brand-new dental practice model that’s fully out-of-network and membership-based. He believes the insurance system holds back both patients and dentists—and he's on a mission to create a care-first, health-focused experience that doesn’t depend on insurance rules or quotas.

This episode is packed with simple but powerful ideas for dentists who want to practice with more freedom, help more patients, and maybe even start something of their own. If you’ve ever thought about going beyond the traditional dental path, you’ll find real inspiration here.

In this episode of The Stress-Free Dentist Show, Dr. Eric Block is joined by Nancy Kagan, Managing Partner at Rosen Summit Dental Advisors. Drawing from decades of experience in clinical hygiene, multi-practice management, billing systems, and consulting, Nancy shares what truly makes a dental practice successful, not just operationally, but ethically and emotionally.

You’ll hear real-world insights about identifying embezzlement, setting up proper billing structures, the emotional toll of leadership, and how written systems can support stress-free, sustainable growth. Plus, Nancy opens up about her journey as an educator and her recently published book Dental Administration: A Beginner's Reference.

In this episode of The Stress-Free Dentist Podcast, host Dr. Eric Block sits down with board-certified master hypnotherapist Kyra Yang to explore how reprogramming the subconscious mind can help dentists and high achievers break through burnout, anxiety, and perfectionism.

Kyra shares her personal journey from corporate burnout to hypnotherapy, and explains how unresolved subconscious programming can quietly drive stress, overthinking, and the never-ending chase for validation. This is a must-listen for anyone who’s “checked all the boxes” but still feels stuck or overwhelmed.
