012 Protecting our Public Health Podcast with Sharity Ludwig

Once again, Sharity’s dear friend and colleague Dr. Jeremy Horst joins her for an episode of the Protecting our Public Health Podcast to take a deeper dive into his work in clinical practice.   Episode Highlights:   What’s coming in dentistry that Dr. Horst feels will greatly impact public health The power of the sugar beverage association Using silver as a preventative measure How Dr. Horst assesses risk and determines the services he will provide to patients in consultation with their caregivers/parents His most exciting treatments   Quotes:   “It’s such a new idea to treat a cavity without a drill to most folks that that’s really been where people have grabbed on.”   “If you can prevent the cavities from happening in the first place just by putting on a tiny amount of this liquid that’s very inexpensive…once a year…that’s going to have a massive effect.”   “My state was openly blackmailed by the sugar beverage association and the result is that we have a 12 year ban on sugar taxes because the sugar beverage association is so powerful.”   “They would much rather have a tiny little black spot on the front teeth than for their kid to have to undergo extractions of the four front teeth.”   “I’ve stopped many more cavities by helping people to…make simple adjustments to their diet than I have through hygiene changes.”   “I will have to say that you probably are the most sharing researcher that I’ve ever been involved with.”   Links:   The Dental Podcast Network Channel One homepage: http://dentalpodcastnetworkchannelone.otcpn.libsynpro.com/ The Dental Podcast Network Channel Two homepage: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dental-podcast-networks-channel-two/id1478530429   Dr. Horst’s email:   [email protected]
