In this episode, Dr. Brett Gilbert sits down with his longtime friend and colleague Dr. Bill Nudera — board-certified endodontist, Air Force veteran, textbook author, and founder of Nuendo — for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about what it really takes to build a career in endodontics.
Bill doesn't hold back. He opens up about being waitlisted twice before breaking into endo on his third application cycle, the Air Force mentorship that changed his trajectory, and why the biggest mistakes in clinical dentistry are made not with a handpiece — but with your mouth. Together, Brett and Bill challenge the culture of speed, reframe 'retreatment' as 'revision,' and make a compelling case for why communication is the single most important skill any clinician can develop.
