TIPisode: Sealants - Three Things Andrew Johnston, RDH Wants You To Know

This week on A Tale of Two Hygienists TIPisode we are joined by Andrew Johnston, RDH to talk about the three things he wants you to know about sealants!   Episode Highlights Caries Risk Assessment Faulty Logic Time Management Product Selection Production   Quotes "Insurance wouldn't pay for it, so why spend the time talking about it."   "I was anti-sealant for years, because of this faulty logic."   "In my opinion, Caries Risk Assessments are still our most valuable tool for determining the need for sealants."   "A poorly placed resin based sealant is not helping the patient."   "You need a product that isn't going to fail, even if there is a little bit of moisture present, or a little bit chips away."   "The backbone of any practice is the hygiene department."   "It is our responsibility to take control of the production coming out of our chair and sealants are just such an easy way to produce production."   "If you can apply just a few sealants per day you can add a few thousands of dollars to your practice each month."   Links Fuji Triage: https://www.gcamerica.com/products/preventive/GC_Fuji_TRIAGE/ Fuji Triage EP: https://www.gcamerica.com/products/preventive/GC_Fuji_TRIAGE_EP/ Glass Ionomer Sealants https://www.gcamerica.com/products/operatory/GIRestoratives.php  http://www.gcamerica.com/ce/alleducation.php http://www.gcamerica.com
