Brendan Gallagher, DDS
An oral surgeon's inside look at the clinical techniques, business strategies, and career paths shaping modern dentistry.
This is an 'inside baseball' podcast for the dental industry, hosted by a practicing oral surgeon. Episodes toggle between granular, peer-to-peer discussions on clinical techniques and instruments, and high-level conversations about the business of dentistry, including marketing, practice management, and technology. It also serves as a mentorship channel, with frequent Q&A episodes offering career advice to students and residents.
“What stands out is the host's dual focus on hardcore clinical details (like specific sedation drug cocktails) and modern digital-age business strategy (like acquiring Google reviews and monetizing a personal brand). The format fluidly shifts from formal interviews to casual TikTok Live Q&As, giving it a raw, practitioner-in-the-trenches feel.”

What you'll be asked on this show
The host, Dr. Brendan Gallagher, approaches interviews as a collaborative, peer-to-peer discussion rather than a rigid Q&A. He often opens with casual, personal chat to build rapport before transitioning into professional topics. His questions move between high-level career trajectory and extremely granular clinical or business processes. A key feature is his tendency to reciprocate, sharing his own methods, drug protocols, or business experiences in response to a guest's answer, creating a rich, two-way exchange of information.
The podcast employs a mix of formats: long-form interviews with fellow dental professionals, solo Q&A sessions often repurposed from TikTok Live, and casual co-hosted conversations. The interview style is a peer-to-peer dialogue, with the host readily sharing his own techniques and opinions. Solo episodes are direct-to-camera Q&As with his audience.
