Dr. Nicole O'Brien, thanks for joining us.

Hey there, thanks for having me.

Yeah, Seattle Rock Day, benefiting Smash today, and you were involved on the, on the

dentistry end.

Exactly, yep, we love to take care of patients at the office.

How long have you, how long have you been working with Smash?

Gosh, I have been working with Smash and Nicole Vandenberg for quite a few years, helping

patients where we could.

More meaningfully in the last six or nine months, we've developed maybe a more streamlined

pathway to get people some real regular care.

Okay.

You know, I'm just curious, you know, one of the things with Smash, because you're helping

the Seattle area musicians.

Now, as a musician myself, and I don't know if you're going to know the answer to this, guitar players,

singers, drummers or bass players, generally speaking, who has the worst mouth? I mean,

just who has the worst teeth? Let's see. Where do you fit in in the band? I'm not, no, no, I'm not

going to tell you. I want the unbiased answer here.

You should see this grill. Well, I'll tell you the number one emergency I see is people hitting themselves in the tooth with the microphones. So I think that might be your answer. Whoever's got one of those things right in their face. That actually, it happened to one of my bandmates years ago. He stepped on the base to the microphone, it rocketed forward.

I don't know that it messed up his teeth, but it blew his lips open. There was blood everywhere. Yeah, yeah. Good times. What is the process if you are an area musician and you would like some dental help. You need some help along the

way. That's great. Reach out to smash. They have a really great process for getting people on a

wait list. They also do some wraparound services, right? So you call in and maybe you broke a tooth

or maybe you need a cleaning. They're so great at jumping in and helping people maybe figure out their Apple Care paperwork,
