At the core of the authentic dentist is the belief that the answer to the current challenges in dentistry is dentists discovering that their greatest asset and point of differentiation is their personal brand – and that forming that brand out of their authentic selves is the best strategy for success in dentistry today.

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

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.
