<p><strong>On the Cusp</strong> | <em>The Canadian Dental Podcast </em></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Exploring the <em>working</em> side of dentistry. <span>The On the Cusp Podcast is a show focused on delivering high value content by Canadian dentists and industry leaders. Season one is about the <span style="font-style:italic;">working</span> side of dentistry focusing on everything practice ownership. </span></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Season 1 Preview:</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Season 1 of the On the Cusp podcast is for associate dentists navigating the leap to practice ownership. Hosted by Dr. Omid Azami, each episode breaks down the real conversations happening in dentistry — buying a dental practice, associate agreements, partnership deals, dental practice valuations, dental service organizations (DSOs), private equity in dentistry, and building a career on your own terms.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Whether you're an associate trying to understand your contract, a dentist exploring practice acquisition in Ontario or across Canada, or someone who just knows there has to be more than working for someone else — this show is for you.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">No fluff. No theory. Just honest, practical conversations with Canadian dentists, lawyers, accountants, and dental industry insiders who've been in the chair you're sitting in.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">New episodes drop weekly.

Not yet scored

Nobody starts with a number. We score a page once three independent sources back it up, and this one has 3. They are listed further down. The next scoring run is what turns them into a number.

a blank is honest. a zero would be a lie

How scoring works

Podcasts get the same two numbers as everybody else, worked out the same published way. That has not been run yet, so both read . We are never going to rank these shows on downloads, because nobody publishes a download figure we could check.
