Description

Celebrity dentist Dr. Dan Shaer, known in Beverly Hills as The Smile Architect, joins us for a brutally honest conversation about the future of oral health, high-end cosmetic dentistry, and the jaw-dropping state of the industry.

From $45,000 veneers and sugar babies paying in stacks of singles to botched dental tourism and sketchy fluoride debates, this episode exposes the truth behind perfect smiles and what they really cost financially and biologically. Dr. Dan reveals how gum disease is linked to heart conditions, why symmetry and tooth count shape Hollywood beauty, and why most root canals are a ticking time bomb.

Whether you're chasing a camera-ready smile or just trying to keep your teeth from falling out, this episode delivers the raw truth with no filters and no fluff.

This one will make you rethink your toothpaste, your dentist, and maybe your whole mouth.
