Last night at Radio City, I saw Andrew Huberman with my friend Arthur—someone I’ve known for nearly 20 years.

Huberman made one thing very clear: better health starts with understanding mechanisms, not chasing trends.

That idea resonates deeply with me.

His work has helped bring conversations around neuroscience, sleep, behavior, performance, and longevity into the mainstream by making complex science practical and actionable.

I believe dentistry is ready for the same shift.

The mouth is not separate from the rest of the body. Oral health intersects with inflammation, the microbiome, airway, sleep, muscle function, TMJ health, and longevity.

That thinking is shaping much of what I’m building for 2027 with Beso™, ORIGIN™, and Oral Intelligence.

Different projects. One underlying idea:

Understand the biology better.
Ask better questions.
Build better protocols.

A great night with a great friend—and a timely reminder of where healthcare is heading.

There are moments in your career when you realize you’re not simply learning something new—you’re stepping into territory your profession has barely begun to explore.

This week, I completed the advanced certification course in peptide and cellular medicine through SSRP, a leading program focused on mechanism-first education and the biology behind emerging regenerative therapies.

Nearly 1,000 professionals from around the world attended.

I was the only dentist in the room.

At registration, I was asked what “DMD” stood for. When I explained that I was a dentist, the woman checking me in smiled and asked:

“What does it feel like to be a trailblazer?”

My answer was simple:

I’m not interested in something simply because it is new. I’m interested in what comes next when there is credible science, biological rationale, and evidence behind it.

For more than 20 years, my approach to dentistry has extended beyond the individual tooth—into function, occlusion, the TMJ, muscle physiology, inflammation, healing, and oral-systemic health.

Studying peptide therapy feels like a natural extension of that philosophy.

The goal is not to chase trends.

It is to understand mechanisms, question assumptions, evaluate the evidence critically, and—when the science supports it—translate that knowledge responsibly into patient care.

I am now beginning to incorporate peptide therapy into my practice through evidence-informed protocols focused on dental and craniofacial applications, including healing, tissue support, inflammation, musculoskeletal recovery, and complex TMJ-related conditions.

Not as a replacement for established treatment.

Not as a shortcut.

But as another biologically driven tool that may complement complex care.

Being the only dentist in a room of nearly 1,000 professionals didn’t make me feel out of place.

It made me feel like I was exactly where I needed to be.

The future of dentistry will not be confined to teeth.

And I intend to be part of defining what comes next.

My patients often ask me on how I whiten my own teeth… if your teeth are sensitive like mine it is better to do in office Zoom whitening… I go to my friend (over 25 years friendship!) and colleague Dr. Michael Gulizio of Core Smiles | Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry in NoMad NYC. They use the Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed system — a 25% hydrogen peroxide gel activated by a high-intensity blue LED lamp. The light breaks apart stain molecules in the enamel and dentin through oxidation, without affecting the tooth structure. Three 15-minute cycles, 45 minutes total, finishing with a fluoride gel to reduce sensitivity. Up to 8 shades whiter in one visit.

Some people become icons because of the attention they command. Others become legends because of the way they make people feel.

It’s always a pleasure running into Susanne Bartsch — someone who has shaped New York City’s nightlife, fashion, and creative culture for decades, yet continues to carry herself with genuine warmth, humility, and presence.

Every time we see Susanne, she takes the time to stop, converse, connect, and share a moment — never consumed by the spectacle surrounding her, but deeply grounded in the value of human relationships. In a city driven by status and noise, that authenticity is rare.

Grateful for the conversation, the laughter, and the reminder that true influence is never just about visibility — it’s about humanity. Love you,

There are moments when a performance reaches you at exactly the right time and stays with you long after the curtain falls.

Years ago, not long after my mother passed away, I found myself searching for anything that could pull me out of the heaviness of grief — even briefly. Around that time, I saw the Broadway production of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, starring Nick Adams, Will Swenson, and Tony Sheldon.

What they created on that stage was unforgettable.

Their charisma, humor, vulnerability, and connection with the audience brought genuine laughter and joy into my life during one of its most difficult chapters. Every performance felt electric — not just because of the talent, but because of the humanity behind it. At the time, I didn’t know Nick personally. I only knew that his performance, alongside Will and Tony, left a lasting impact on me.

Life has a funny way of coming full circle.
Today, I have the privilege of knowing Nick not only as the incredibly accomplished artist the world sees on stage, but as a thoughtful, genuine, and remarkable person in real life. And through him, I’ve also had the privilege of meeting his partner, Kyle Brown, who is equally warm, grounded, and engaging in conversation.

Having them both in my practice — sitting, talking, laughing, and connecting as people — is something I genuinely value and appreciate.

It’s easy to forget how profoundly artists can affect our lives without ever realizing it. Sometimes they help carry people through moments they may never even know existed.
Nick — thank you for the joy you brought into my life then, and for your friendship and presence now. Truly honored to care for you!

Thinking about veneers or a smile makeover? Read this first. 🦷

Cosmetic dentistry is permanent — and the wrong provider can cost you more than money.

Here are the red flags to watch for:
🚩 They skip the exam and go straight to selling treatment
🚩 Their before-and-after portfolio is thin or looks like stock photos
🚩 You feel pressured to book before you leave
🚩 They can’t explain the clinical details of your procedure
🚩 The price is dramatically below market — with no explanation
🚩 Reviews are suspiciously perfect or say nothing about outcomes
🚩 They never actually ask what you want
🚩 They handle everything in-house and never refer to specialists

A great cosmetic dentist makes you feel informed, not sold to.

At Core Smiles, every consultation starts with listening — and we show our work.

This patient had a beautiful smile. But one tooth told a different story.

Dark. Discolored. And traditional whitening alone was never going to reach it.

Some staining can’t be corrected from the outside — it starts from within. For this patient, years of internal discoloration had left the tooth looking dark and lifeless despite a healthy smile. Using the Fotona LightWalker dental laser, we performed internal bleaching — a precise, minimally invasive approach that activates and dramatically enhances the whitening process from inside the tooth itself, achieving results far beyond what internal bleaching alone can deliver.

The result? A naturally bright, seamlessly matched tooth — no crowns, no veneers, no unnecessary removal of healthy structure.
This is what it looks like when innovation meets precision. 🦷✨

Thrilled to share my recent feature on Inside Edition discussing the critical role of myofascial release in treating TMJ and facial pain disorders.

Millions live with chronic jaw tension, headaches, and facial discomfort without realizing the muscular component behind their pain. Myofascial release bridges that gap — combining evidence-based science with hands-on precision to restore normal movement and reduce inflammation.

As more conversations about chronic pain enter mainstream media, it’s time to spotlight the intersection between dentistry, neuromuscular medicine, and physiotherapy.
I’d love to see American media expand on this — how can we better educate the public about the muscular foundations of TMJ dysfunction?

Comment below if you or if someone you know has benefited from myofascial work, or if there’s a clinical angle you’d like covered in future features. Let’s bring muscle-based facial pain out of the shadows and into the national dialogue.

A True New York Classic ✨🍸

Few places in NYC capture the spirit of timeless hospitality quite like Cecchi’s. Helmed by the legendary Michael Cecchi—pictured here—whose decades of experience are chronicled in his memoir Your Table is Ready, this restaurant is more than a dining destination… it’s an experience.

From the warm welcome to the unmistakable charm of the space, Cecchi’s evokes everything we love about New York’s golden era of dining.

As regulars, Dr. G and Dr. C are always grateful for Michael’s personal touch. Without fail, he stops by to say hello—reminding us that hospitality, at its core, is about connection.

It’s this blend of atmosphere, vibrancy, and true care that keeps us coming back week after week.

Bravo, Michael—NYC is lucky to have you!
