  • Good info

    But the speaker sounds like a robot. I always turn off within 2 min. Very impersonal, even though her voice is nice, it is too automated sounding. The pauses between the thoughts are so short, it is exhausting while listening—she doesn’t have time to breath!

Hygiene Chat: Elevating the Hygienist’s Role in Prevention and Patient Motivation
Q: How does the white paper address the broader prevalence of oral diseases and their impact?
It underscores the vast global burden of oral disease, with billions affected and substantial economic costs, and argues that hygienists are uniquely positioned to intervene early, educate patients, and drive behavioral change to reduce this burden.
Hygiene Chat: Elevating the Hygienist’s Role in Prevention and Patient Motivation
Q: Can you please start by giving background on how this white paper was developed and why publish it now?

Audio Article: Mental Health Spotlight - Grief Can Make Holiday Dental Appointments Not so Jolly and Bright
Q: What advice do you have for sparking a conversation with dental patients about grief during the holidays?

Hygiene Chat: The Adjunctive Use of Mouthrinse
Q: What is the key takeaway from the research you and your team have conducted?
There is a significant benefit to the adjunctive use of mouth rinse when combined with mechanical measures for improved oral health outcomes.

Q: How does a mechanical-only home care routine of brushing and flossing compare to a mechanical routine combined with a chemotherapeutic mouth rinse?
Mechanical plaque control is limited by the user's technique, while a mouth rinse can enhance effectiveness, especially in those who struggle with proper flossing.
