In this short episode we shoot our shot to convince hygienists to start disclosing all patients. We talk about 3 key reasons and hopefully open up the door a little bit for change. Dentistry has been preaching that disclosing is for children, we aim to change that narrative.

Antibiotics were once doled out like candy to anyone who had an ouchy tooth or metal in their body. Now, we know better... sorta.

Our patients are so silly. Many of them think that just because the are on blood pressure meds, they no longer have "high blood pressure"... meaning they think they have no more risk. Machell joins the show to talk to us about what we can be doing and saying to our patients to position the topic of BP to be more importantly.
