Is Fluoride all it’s cracked up to be?

This episode is about things that are accepted in dentistry, but really have no foundation behind them and we are joined by Dr. Brian Novy! We tackle the topic of fluoride - the accepted magical compound that is supposed to cure tooth decay! Key Takeaways We, as doctors, are pushing an incentive model that has gone away from focusing on prophylaxis, prevention. We cannot be looking at convenience over literature-driven care. We need to be talking to our teams about WHY we use fluoride, for WHOM do we use fluoride, and WHEN do we use fluoride. It’s not for everyone… but in the right amounts, with the right product combinations, it is good for many!
