SPEAKER
Joshua Austin, DDS

Dr. Austin maintains a full time restorative dentistry private practice in San Antonio, Texas. He is an editorial director and columnist for Dental Economics magazine, focusing on dental products and technology.

Dr. Austin lectures around the country to study clubs and dental meetings about these topics along with online reputation management and mental health. Dr. Austin is a graduate of the University of Texas Health Science Center Dental School and spent five years post graduation as faculty in the Department of Restorative Dentistry.

His approach to his Pearls For Your Practice column is a fresh approach in today’s commercial driven dental journalism. When you read a “Pearl” rest assured that you are getting an honest evaluation of a product, which was used by Dr. Austin in clinical practice on a patient.
