A lovely listener started Team Ben and Team Claire and the duo talk about how this came to be. They show us the T-shirts that Jade and Vicky created from Cwytch Study Club had made. Ben wear Gums Guy pink and Claire wears Khaki, in series 1 they said they would love scrubs in these colours. Such a lovely gesture, so a BIG THANKYOU to Vicky and Jade at Cwytch Study Club.
Then Ben talks about Vaping and how much nicotine is in each vape and how to have the conversation with patients.
If you have anything to add about topics that were discussed in this episode, please get in touch. Also send your Agony Aunts and Agony Uncles in for Claire and Ben to discuss.

Ben and Claire talk about ratio's of hygienists to dentists across the globe to begin. Some of these ratio's might shock you.
They then talk about notes and how some people question if we need to write as much as we do. They talk about templates and what they write in their notes, as well as discussing how to make this process more efficient.
What are your thoughts? Do you use AI for your notes. Comment below and let us know.
Thanks for EMS for supporting the show and being such a great supporter of team YDB

Ben and Claire discuss the EFP probe. Have you seen this, and would you find it useful?
Ben catches Claire off guard, and despite her protests to edit that bit out, Ben argues to keep it in, and so we took this episode off Claire so she cannot edit it. We decided it was funnier to keep the episode authentic, so team YDB kept it in!
After this blip, they discuss blood pressure and whether we should measure it in clinic. Ben orders some BP monitors for when he is in clinic. Team YDB promises to let you know how that goes in future episodes.
Ben talks about a forum he has seen about dental tourism and this leads to a conversation about dental tourism before they close the show.

Season 7 begins with Ben and Claire talking about new shiny pieces of kit that can be useful in clinic. From Flamingo, to AI note taking, to Cordeze, to GBT machine.
What new pieces of kit have you heard of recently? We want to review more things so that we can see if it is worth you investing.
If you want to invest in a GBT machine, or you want to discuss the deal for hygienists and therapists to invest in it further, please reach out to use at @clairelouisesays or @thegumsguy and we can connect you to a GBT expert to discuss. Or you can DM @EMSdentalUK
