  • Affronted Dental Hygienist

    Podcast Review: Dr. Kami Hoss on Oral Health

    I was disappointed by several comments made by Dr. Kami Haas during his recent podcast on oral health, particularly regarding prevention. Dr. Haas stated that he received only a few hours of education on preventing dental decay and implied that dentists and dental hygienists receive minimal training in this area.

    As a dental hygienist, I find this statement inaccurate and dismissive. Dental hygienists are preventive oral health therapists, and prevent... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Early Should You Check Your Cholesterol?
Q: How long might someone need to stay on a statin once started, and are there exceptions to lifelong use?
Lifestyle changes remain important, but the majority of patients on statins—especially for secondary prevention—stay on them long-term; a small fraction may be able to stop if their levels stay low after stopping, but most will continue life-long to reduce risk.
How Early Should You Check Your Cholesterol?
Q: Will doctors start testing Lp(a) for patients, and why is it important?
Lp(a) is a largely genetic marker that can influence overall cholesterol risk; about 20% of adults have elevated Lp(a). It won't change with lifestyle, but a high Lp(a) can prompt more aggressive lowering of other cholesterol levels.
How Early Should You Check Your Cholesterol?
Q: What do these new guidelines mean for screening ages and when should people start thinking about cholesterol checks?
They shift the focus earlier, recommending screening and consideration of risk over a 30-year horizon starting around age 30, with initial comprehensive screening between ages 9 and 11 and then every 5 years after adolescence.
Why Allergies Are Getting Worse
Q: What are the practical steps after you diagnose an allergy?
Identify triggers via skin or blood testing, reduce exposure, choose appropriate medications, discuss immunotherapy options, and plan for safety strategies like carrying an EpiPen when needed.
Why Allergies Are Getting Worse
Q: How do you distinguish between food intolerance and a true food allergy?
Intolerance generally involves digestive symptoms and occurs with larger amounts of the food and is not immune-mediated, while true allergies cause rapid, immune-driven reactions that can involve skin, breathing, or anaphylaxis even with small amounts.
