Dr. Leigh Colby is my guest on the podcast today. Leigh is a dentist, a former practice owner, and has founded and been involved in multiple high-tech dental startups. He is an entrepreneur and innovator as much as he is a clinician.

Leigh is also the founder of TriAgenics. TriAgenics has spent years developing third molar tooth bud ablation technology. For those who aren't familiar, this technology uses targeted microwaves and a small probe to "zap" and prevent the formation of third molars during childhood. Ablating the tooth bud would prevent the need for invasive extractions later on when the teeth are fully developed.

This technology is in the final stages of FDA approval, and will quickly become available commercially as an option to our patients. In this podcast, Dr. Colby shares with us how the technology works, what the equipment looks like, the initial investment costs, and why pediatric dentists will be paving the way to make this procedure a great option for our patients.
