The Lord has used Dr. Van Haywood to spark a tooth-whitening revolution in the dental profession, and for three decades he has been pouring into the lives of dentists and dental students. Van’s story goes well beyond the world of academia, which has become his platform to communicate the glory of Christ. This podcast was previously released throughout CMDA as a CMDA Matters episode.
