The Tooth Sleuth Podcast

Greg Essenmacher

Booking Overview

A dental business and practice-management interview show focused on helping dentists and dental professionals improve strategy, operations, growth, hiring, marketing, and leadership, with recurring interviews featuring specialized industry executives, clinicians, consultants, and founders. Agencies could credibly pitch dental practice owners, oral surgeons, dental technology and reputation specialists, procurement leaders, recruiters, and healthcare business consultants; booking difficulty is medium because guests need credible dental-industry expertise but generally do not require celebrity-level prominence.
