Comprehensive Preventive Dentistry

Focuses heavily on the prevention, diagnosis, and management of oral diseases like caries, periodontal disease, and oral cancer. It discusses the etiology and progression of hard and soft tissue diseases, noting that prevention is often focused on hard tissue destruction because that is what dentists are most familiar with. The sources also detail various preventive treatments and technologies, including the topical application of fluorides, pit and fissure sealants, calcium and phosphate-based therapies (like CPP-ACP), and novel diagnostic tools. Furthermore, the text addresses professional dental care practices for different patient demographics, such as infants, preschool-aged children, and frail older adults in long-term care, emphasizing the importance of risk assessment and inter-professional collaboration in delivering effective oral healthcare.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
