465: Dr. Andrew Hong

The Savvy Dentist

In a dental practice, we perform a lot, and train very little. In comparison, in the sports arena, an athlete will practice a lot, and perform occasionally.

In today’s episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast with Dr. Jesse Green, we meet Dr. Andrew Hongh. Dr. Hong isn't just known for his exceptional skills in dentistry but also for his unwavering passion for sports.
