The Best Dental Podcasts of 2026

Hosts

Dr. Jeff Horowitz, Dr. Jennifer Bell, Dr. Chad Duplantis

Format

Multi-format weekly: Humpday Happy Hour, Midwinter Monday, DINKs News

424+ episodes, three practicing dentists, and the broadest topical coverage in the dental podcast space — clinical, business, news, products, and interviews with the people actually shaping dentistry. The conversational format keeps it digestible.

Best for: General dentists who want to stay current across the entire dental landscape — clinical, technological, and business — without reading press releases.

Hosts

Dr. Howard Farran

Format

Long-form interview, near-daily release

The granddaddy of the genre. Massive back catalog (1,500+), unfiltered interview style, and Farran's reach in organized dentistry mean you hear from people who don't appear elsewhere.

Best for: Listeners who want depth over polish and aren't afraid of strong opinions.

Hosts

Richard Low, DDS and rotating co-hosts

Format

Weekly, practice-ownership focused

If your interest is the business of buying, building, or scaling a dental practice, Shared Practices is the most rigorous show on the topic. Heavy on real cases and numbers.

Best for: Aspiring or current practice owners thinking through ownership, transitions, and growth.

Hosts

Reese Harper, Ryan Isaac

Format

Weekly, financial-planning focused

Dentist-specific personal finance — debt strategy, taxes, retirement, real estate, partnership math. Polished production and strong information architecture.

Best for: Dentists at any career stage who want a financial perspective tailored to their reality, not generic advice.

Hosts

Dr. Peter Boulden, Dr. Craig Spodak

Format

Weekly, practice-growth focused

Two cosmetic-focused practice owners on marketing, branding, and operational systems. Energetic, opinionated, and useful for practices ready to scale beyond solo.

Best for: Established practice owners thinking about brand-building and the next stage of growth.

Hosts

Alan Mead and a roster of co-hosts

Format

Multi-show network, weekly

A network of shows under one umbrella, with the most personality of any in this list. Mead is a genuine community builder and the network reflects that ethos.

Best for: Listeners who want a sense of community and a less corporate vibe.

Hosts

Dr. Bruce Baird and team

Format

Three-show network

Long-running coaching organization with a polished podcast network covering practice management, dentistry, and team development.

Best for: Practices that already follow a coaching framework and want supplementary listening.

Hosts

Andrew Johnston, RDH and Michelle Strange, RDH

Format

Weekly, hygiene-focused

The leading podcast for the dental hygiene community. Clinical depth, oral-systemic content, and a strong voice for hygienists' professional development.

Best for: Dental hygienists, but also dentists who want a sharper view of what's happening in the hygiene chair.

Hosts

Kiera Dent and team

Format

Daily, operations-focused

Daily, short-form, ops-focused content for dental teams — schedule, billing, leadership, hiring. Built for office managers and team leads as much as dentists.

Best for: Dental office managers and team leads who want quick, practical takes daily.

Hosts

Gary Takacs

Format

Weekly, practice-management focused

Long-running show focused on what Takacs calls a 'thriving practice' — fee-for-service, low-PPO, healthy team culture. Strong on philosophy and operational specifics.

Best for: Dentists working toward a fee-for-service or low-insurance model.
