Dr Krish is back with another frack up, and this one is a proper one. A routine wisdom tooth extraction turns into an emphysema emergency, a hospital trip, and one very swollen patient who handled it better than the dentist did.

In this episode, Dr Tiv and Dr Krish break down exactly what went wrong, why it happened, and what every new grad should know before picking up a handpiece for surgical extractions. Real, honest, unfiltered dentistry.

Can your practice owner legally stop you from working near their practice after you leave?

If you are a new grad or associate dentist, this one could save you thousands of dollars and a lot of headaches. No legal advice, just real experience from people who have been on both sides of the chair.

What Happens When Dentists Mess Up (Real Story)

Every dentist has a case they wish they could redo.

In this episode of PowerUp Unfiltered, Dr Tiv shares one of the biggest mistakes from his early career. Just months into practising dentistry, he attempted his first implant restoration case. What followed was a costly lesson.

We talk about the emotional side of clinical mistakes, the pressure young dentists feel, and why failures often become the most valuable learning experiences in dentistry.

If you are a dentist who has ever questioned yourself after a difficult case, this conversation will feel very familiar.
