The Perio Hygienist Podcast


“This is the Perio Hygienist Podcast – a podcast centered on the intersection between the specialty of Periodontics and the profession of Dental Hygiene…”

The purpose of this podcast, written and produced by a periodontist with unique subject matter expertise, is to simplify care and enable the smooth and comfortable transfer of patients between the providers. Because everyone finally knows and understands the problems and challenges from the perspective of the others involved, the quality of patient care can improve profoundly. This can result in more case sharing, more patient satisfaction and less operator frustration.

I found an interesting original research article in the Journal of the American Dental Association December 2020 edition on the subject of dental short-term missions. 

The authors believe the participation in activities like this improve the quality of dental and dental hygiene care we provide on a daily basis. The reason this is can be explained by looking at how it affects the six aspects of our nature -- Emotional, Intellectual, Physical, Moral, Social and Spiritual. Good food for thought.

I explain how this type of work has affected me personally.
